••Photos of Exotics in outback Australia including an AMG E55••
Guys, you may have seen an invite thread earlier regarding Exotics in the outback of Australia.
Anyway I attended and flew the flag for us. There are no speed limits in the Outback, Northern Territory of Australia. My official fastest speed was 303 kph or 188 mph until my supercharger belt started slipping at around 5500 rpm, see photo.
All I could hear was squealing through each gear at 5.5k. A problem I'm still working on solving... anyway another story.
So... four days of high speed fun around central Australia "Alice Springs" and socializing with like minded individuals.
The following images are a few Photos I snapped around Alice Springs. By the way, the dog is a wild Dingo. The Kangaroos come out at Dusk and Dawn so we speed around late morning to late noon. Very messy hitting one these at 300 klackers... Ha.
I had no problems keeping up with all the cars except the new 997. This thing is eff-in quick! Anyway... Enjoy the photos!

Thanks for the pictures. When I was down you way for my sisters wedding the fastest thing I drove was a diesel Land Cruiser that I rented to cruise the rain forest north of Port Douglas.
