Today, in Al Ain:

Merc S63 AMG
Two tone pink and white - pink below the swage line
Pink wheels
Sparkly pink spoiler

My mate and I both flew to grab our phones and take a pic but it vanished in a cloud of pink dust!

I saw it this evening. Without any comment from me, my wife thought that it looked "camp" and my 9 yr old daughter thought it looked "silly". They were both right! It does make a nice noise, though.

I drive past this place every day on my way to work. It looks like there's a real collection there. Never mind two, I think he's got more like four or five!!

if you see any for sale signs on them geoff, i will pop along.

al awir was AMAZING! i actualy got bored of seeing so many top end cars that the mini and original suzuki jimny's were a relief. al ain class motors though, just wow. has to be the best showroom offering in the world right now.

got a few snaps of interesting cars i'll post tomorrow. the only thing that took my fancy [aside from the dauer 962 of course] was a bmw z3 breadvan. shame it was only the 2.8 else i'd have took it for a spin.

I counted seven American classic cars there this morning. There's a big 'For Rent' sign on the gate outside but I don't know if they mean the cars or the villa that they're parked in!

It's the villas that are for rent, not the cars...

Can you imagine taking the Daurer 962 on a track day and the the valet parking guys faces would be utter confusion when asked to valet park it.

i don't slow down for speed bumps in the hire car, the 962 would be fked!

a bit of digging reveals it's not a dauer but a barnard, and available from 750-1500hp [though i smell arabian stallion scheisse]. like this one:

there's an xk120 or 140 in JBR car park, rimal section. would have taken a snap but it'd under cover so would have been somewhat rude to remove it, even partially.

An immaculate black 928 GTS in my car park this morning. Appears to be a US import judging by the bulky plastic bumper at the back. Otherwise very nice.

Spotted a lovely black Ultima GTR Driven in Old Town near Dubai Mall, looked lovely - heading to le mans next year with a friend who's just finishing one in the UK.

Got me thinking maybe I could import one!!!
