Obviously the 'Onda 'ccord - who the feck in their right minds would put an interior in like that? hahahaha

Depends on your application for this car: if its a DD then for me: XKR. If its a weekend thrash and pose mobile (bankers stuff), then Lambo.

If it's required for daily duties, the porker would be my choice but as your budget keeps on increasing i'd plump for the viper green gt3rs for 330k on the bizzle. Reson being I don't like the XKR and reckon the Aston could cause you bother.

If weekend only then I'd also go lambo, or the F355 that's been up for 245k for months now - could be a barry argain. I'd also go looking for a 550M.

Overall, the R8 would make be the best of both worlds. They look so much better out here than in the UK, I'd love one.

I put this up in a thread about a year ago. Imagine it would be a great project but you would have to do the entire vehicle and who knows how long that would take or cost. I still love it though!

Lambo-frikin-ghini. Seriously, how are you even unsure?

R8 would be second but it is a big TT in comparison.

was it this same car [orange one] you posted about?

depends how stock you want it and how much time you have. on the 2nd link that guy seems adept at converting bits to fit. it would make an awesome desert camper and the perfect SZR rush hour machine.


fancy going halves? if you can come up with 50fils we can bid the full dirham.

Same one, same picture. I love it - imaging fitting something stupidly powerful and cresting dunes with all the weight behind you!

Thats some very nice "muscle" there. You won't go far wrong with a 'vette. I would ask you, if you were serious about a 'vette, to please check out Al Ghandi service costs.

I am, and it's option number one for me please Phil.... that looks like a cracker - price is a little toppy maybe, but it's expat owned and has full history which brings its own peace of mind.
As we know from our walk around Al Awir the other week there's not normally many Vettes around in the +/- 100k bracket so it's definately a consideration.

Not too sure about the "special features" on the other, sounds likely to be a dirty great stereo and neons!

I know Al Ghandi's man to have a social drink with, not too sure it'll get me preferential treatment come service time......

I think that blue one has been for sale for a while. Go and see it, leave it a day then bid him in the nuts,, say 120k, let him say no then leave the offer on the table whilst he works out what's best for him. He will come back. Tried and tested Dubai methodology!

I appear to have used my own methodology to pick up another bargain LR2 this morning as a daily drive. Trouble is we now have two, plus the Jeep, plus the wife's old Seat Tolnedo which I've been tooling around in.

There are only two people in our house, and we have four cars again. I am going to be in trouble tonight...
