There was one in Tomini a few weeks back (surprised how short it was in length) but now replaced by an F50. There is also a 959. You know, just the usual stuff :-)

Would love to go get some plant vases from Dragon Mart in the F50!

The one at Tomini Classics is Bill Cosby's old car.

Spotted another when I was in the UK recently. The perfect Ferrari IMO.

Ok, I need some inspiration... Thinking of swapping out the 997 for something a little more practical that can seat four people with at least some level of comfort. Must be fun to drive, 6 or more cylinders, over 300bhp and not be a total disaster on a trackday.

So, asides from an E92 M3, what else is there that fits the bill? Considering a M135i but can't find a good one (Seen the blue one on Dubizzle and it's a mess. The Red one is sold). Test drove a Golf R but really didn't gel with it.

Searching on Dubizzle hasn't really helped. Help me before I do something daft like buy this: http://tnydu.biz/DOra2c

Max budget around 200k

Chevrolet Lumina SS? Only saying that as I seem to have accidentally bought a Range Rover and now the Lumina is surplus to requirements.. biggrin

RS4 or M5? Can't remember the model spec of the M5 I went to Le Mans in but it was effortlessly awesome..

I think tomini have/had several f40s in their stocks. They also rotate the showroom fairly frequently so may not have sold.

Last time I drove by they had a db4, 5 and 6 parked lined astern in the main window. Lovely!

Out of curiosity, I've just checked what this sold for through the auctions in Japan using the 'auction price history tool' available on a Japanese import website. Looks like it was a grade 4 car, which is very high and suggests it's in excellent condition. Sold for 3,500,00 Yen, which is approx 106K AED before shipping costs. The price on the Dubizzle ad is less than that!

That's got to be worth a look.

Granted, its not all that expensive, but it would be worth more as a standard car than dressed up with an RS ducktail, wrong seats and steering wheel....

Nice enough for what it is, but dressed up as a lightweight with those bumpers.....I'll pass.
