Gaffer and I spotted a rather interesting car last night. Sorry for the lousy camera phone pic, but we know where it lives.. Called Red Dragon - seems to be a one off..

Aye, that was me. Phil at Crank and Piston took some pikkies of it and they are running the story soon. There are a couple of pics on the site. Drive it everyday to work....cant help it. How can you leave a car like than in the garage. Drive it from the Ranches to Media City everyday. : )

I guess you have already seen the new speed camera near the Emirates ID place?

Pinging me a couple of weeks ago flying back from Els Golf club

Very nearly got caught by that a few days after it was put in as well, thankfully the Cayenne in front of me knew it was there and I guessed why he was braking.
God know how many people it's nabbed... reckon the flashbulb will need to be replaced soon!

I had spotted it on the way out to golf, but forgot as was on autopilot and rushing to get to a brunch.

80 kph is a stupidly low limit on that road.

The only upside is that the fine isn't showing yet, fingers crossed.

Spotted in good old Al Aweer, strage they wouldn't let me take it out for a spin though!

If that is the one they had when it was first released then it chassis number 001

Morgan Aero coupe at the golf club at Meydan on Saturday.

Sounded bloody glorious when he fired it up in the covered parking.

Spotted my first new Boxster this morning, (981 is it called?), in black in the Greens.

Very nice I must say.

define proper.

I think there was a fair amount of tongue in cheek in that post.

He means some random POS car that you'll never normally see here eg a mk1 Mondeo, a Rover 600, a Corsa etc.

Supercars are so passe

On the subject of buying there, my Stang was bought from Al Awir, it was GCC spec though and did as much homework as I could with Al Tayer pre-purchase.

Caveat emptor was designed purely with that plave in mind!
