Ford Cobra, Parkes NSW

This is Brian Hogan's Cobra which is proudly displayed in the showroom of his tyre business, Telescope Tyres in Parkes, NSW.

Update: Maybe Brian Hogan can buy himself this too!

1964 Cadillac Deville, Parkes NSW

My Wife Susannah and I have just returned from two weeks down under in Australia and some of the sights certainly didn't disappoint. My hometown is home of the Parkes Elvis Festival and naturally, there are a few stunning machines which Elvis would be proud to be seen in.

This is Brendan Davis's stunning 1964 pillarless Caddy Deville.

2013 Range Rover Review

Here's the Telegraph's review of the new Rangie. Seriously though...how many of these, if any, will ever ever ever come into contact with mud. I saw my first one, in the flesh this week. Has a different on-road presence to its predecessor.

007 James Bond's Stunt Driver

I'm going to see Skyfall tonight and I cannot wait! Here's an article from the Telegraph giving you an insight into being THE stunt driver for Bond. Read on here.

2012 Bentley Mulsanne

The devil is in the detail. I was mesmerised by this film from start to finish. If I had this car I would never, ever, ever get out of it.

The Golden Maybach

I don't understand Arabic but I certainly get the drift. Someone's got an obscene amount of money (and very little taste).

When outrageous was possible.

1969 Holden Monaro

For the uninitiated this 1969 Monaro is a pretty special Aussie classic, with an asking price to match (of AUD$300,000). I remember people driving around in these in my hometown and they certainly weren't too valuable then. With the on-set the Aussie muscle-car boom, cars like GTHO (Phase III) Falcons, Monaros and Toranas began fetching crazy high prices. The days of the $800K Falcon GTHO Phase III are long gone, along with the Aussie muscle-car bubble, but clearly some owners are still asking for high prices.

To balance the Ford versus Holden war, here is a Falcon GTHO Phase III which sold for $683,650.

Herbie the Love-bug

Here is one of the seven original Herbie VW Beetles used for Herbie Goes Bananas and Herbie Goes to Monto Carlo. By the looks of it...the price has gone bananas too. The seller's asking AUD$150,000 (that's £96,000 or US$154K).

Amelia Lily- You Bring Me Mercedes Joy

It looks like Mercedes SE week on Exhaust Pipe Dreams with another stunner. We had MTV playing while we were getting ready this morning and this song came on. I don't care much for the audio but the visuals did it for me.

Sydney Mercedes SE Cabriolet

Australia is well known for its fine examples of British, European and US classics, as many parts of australia are hot and dry. This is my friend Paul Leadon's magnificent Mercedes SE Cabriolet which is perfectly topped off in its cream hood. You'll know from previous posts I'm a pretty big fan of the SE.

Hamilton-Scotts apartments with 'sky garage'.

Warning: This will blow your mind.

If you're like me (but had money), you'd buy a home so you can appreciate your stable of thoroughbreds and classics at any time. Luckily these apartments are now for sale in Singapore where you can do just that. Check out the apartment building here, and watch the video below to see how the garage system works.

Buy the actual "Quantum of Solace" Aston Martin and more.

Thanks to connoisseur of fine things Eve Vince for sending this in.

One Direction's Harry Styles

For those of you above the age of 19, One Direction is the biggest boy band to come out of Great Britain since The Beatles. So that puts it in perspective for you. Now moving on, the cheeky leader of the pack is Harry, the one who has bagged a string of much older ladies and who seems to have some pretty good taste in motors. Read about his test-driving here.

My research leads me to believe it's this car currently for sale at £109k through William Loughran.

Just last week I posted on a Porsche 911 Super Classic which I spotted. I could only walk by, lust after it and take a couple of photos. But here's Harry the scamp test-driving one below:

Ollie Locke's XK8 Jaguar

Those with good memories may remember a post I wrote about Ollie Locke's XK Jaguar. Ollie is the formerly-long-haired special case on the TV series Made in Chelsea. I was walking up Charing Cross road this morning in London and he drove past. I thought, gosh I would have loved to have taken a photo of that. I took my phone out of my pocket just to be on the safe side and I saw it again a couple of minutes later in Chinatown. And to add to my car-star spot for this morning, Ollie's co-star Francesca Hull was in the passenger seat. Get the background story on him buying (and defacing a perfectly good XK8) here.

McLaren MP4-12C in London

Parked near my work in London's West End was this Mclaren MP4-12C.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it. It looks like a kit car from the 90s. The curves, generic lights, old Honda/Mitsubishi looking tail. I don't know...it just looks so dated in the same line-up as Ferrari and Lamborghini.

GT40, Aston Martin and Rolls Royce in London.

Only in Knightsbridge would you see this traffic jam. Susannah and I were walking our Great Dane Charlie in Hyde Park last weekend and saw this scene. It was just by chance that as I went to take a photo a big fat phantom rolled on by.

Spotted: Porsche 911 Super Classic

This Porsche 911 "Super Classic" was parked outside work today at lunch. The paint has to be seen in real life to be fully appreciated. It's like a high-gloss dirty white. I would never have picked it from a colour palette but it certainly does look good with the black Fuchs wheels. Read all about the Super Classic here with Top Gear.

Sir Alan Sugar's Rolls Royce

Yesterday afternoon I spotted Alan Sugar's Rolls Royce on Charlotte St in London's West End. I was surprised because while I know his personalised AMS I number-plate (standing for Alan Michael Sugar, just like his company Amstrad also started with his initials AMS), I'm more accustomed to spotting this plate on his Phantom. Well you wouldn't believe it, the big man has gone and DOWN-GRADED from a Phantom to a Ghost. I wonder why? Maybe it's for nipping 'round in London traffic.

So here's his new Ghost with his chauffeur waiting which I saw yesterday. Yep, I went all paparazzo on it.

And here's his previous car, a Phantom which used to sport these plates. He could still own it, but then I don't understand why he'd put his trademark licence plates on the Ghost.

If you want to see more of a Ghost- watch this test drive clip from the US:
