Cruising Around Sydney With METALLICA's JAMES HETFIELD

September 21, 2010

Several of METALLICA's Australian fans have uploaded video footage and photos (see below) of the band's frontman, James Hetfield, riding around Sydney in a Ford Falcon XY GT 351 muscle car this past Sunday (September 19) — the day after the group's sold-out performance at the city's Acer Arena.

According to Macarthur Chronicle, Hetfield — who is a well-known car enthusiast — visited the Camden County Customs shop at Smeaton Grange in Camden, New South Wales, Australia on Sunday. He was a guest of the Harrington Park owners of a custom Cadillac built there.

The '55 Cadillac is appearing in the world's biggest custom car and motorcycle show, at Long Beach, California, from Thursday.
