Spotted on Hessa street this morning, lovely little thing.

Genuine?

this is the only shot I could get, it wasn't hanging around!

Seen it around the Springs once in a while - a pic I took a while back.



This SV was parked outside my apartment last week - sounded evil when it drove off.

Yup, seen the 911 "Carrera" near Dubai Trade Center during Dubai Motorshow 2011.

Saw a GT3 RS 4.0 today at MoE, production number 420/600.

WOW!

[Hitch78]

Lovely, but the front 'winglets' are a bit much non?

[Asterix]

Now that's a proper car - I'd give a lung for one of those.

Fit for purpose. I'd love to give one of those a damn good thrashing.

BTW, great pics Eccentric M!

[Eccentric M]

Thanks guys!


Here's an Aventador that I spotted last Thursday. Surprisingly it wasn't at the valet, but at the 5th floor parking at the Dubai Mall.



Edit: and a MP4-12C with a stripe at MoE.

There are literally hundreds of these on the palm on a Friday morning, coming out of apartments and jumping in taxis.

They leave puddles like a car A/C in the summer.

genuine lol!

The white Aventador was the first customer car delivered I think, Sheikh Mansour's

[Eccentric M]

^ yep.

A LP570-4 Gallardo Supertrofeo Stradale, two Arancio Atlas LP640's and a gorgeous White F430.

Thanks.

and now for something completely different.....

went out for a ride with spencer yesterday. first stop was sub zero to drop the beamer off for a session with mario and the rolling road. i have never seen so many r35 skylines in one place, had to be double figures. loads of drift cars as well, plus these pair of beasts.





a mere 1000bhp each, coming to motors tv soon.....

spoke to one of the locals in there as i thought the yellow one was his. he said no, his is in ajman and only has 750bhp. okey doke.

outside were more gtrs, an f360, assorted drift sheds, and one of the gt corvettes



plus this, an absolutely immaculate chevy nova ss drag car. paint lustre a mile deep, fresh interior, big block motor, removable wheely bars and a few drag trophies strewn across the back seat.








we then left and headed home. passing a group of nondescript commercial sheds in al quoz, spencer asked me to pull over so we could pay someone a visit. my jaw then dropped as we stepped inside door one to find some wonderful cars. pick for me was the skyline engined 260z, the minty mc mint bmw 2002 with grp 5 arches awaiting it;s new engine, and these 3.



i'll only post that one pic out of deference to the owner of this lockup [all cars were his] but some of you likely know him well [races a black clio!]. the superformance dayona cobra is likely the one spotted by one of you a few page back. i left the body guys to buff out my drool marks.
