Think Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and a bunch of limited editions and heavily customised builds. It’s a dream garage that actually hits the streets.
They regularly host casual meetups and Cars & Coffee-style gatherings, usually every week or fortnight, popping up at different spots around Perth. Announcements usually go out through their Instagram community channel.
The Lee boys are building something epic, and their events always draw a solid crowd. If you spot a Lambo tearing through Burswood or cruising around the suburbs, chances are it’s one of theirs.
Definitely worth checking out their Instagram to see what’s on and where to catch them next.
Most of these meets don’t have fixed schedules. They’re announced a few days out, usually through the club’s own social channels. Worth checking each week if you’re keen to head along.
