Indeed it is..

Just seen a McLaren Roadster being driven like it had been stolen on the SZR. Unbelievable, both in terms of the noise and the way it was being driven.. nuts

Am I the only one that's semi-actively spotting nowadays? :/
to be fair i don't tend to pay much attention to supercars anymore as they are such a common sight on the roads. the mansory et al editions also don't count to me as they are normally such an eyesore!

hoping winter will bring some interesting spots as the older cars come out to play.

What Shirt said really - it has to be very rare for me to even notice.

Same here really-plenty of rollers around, as nice as they are.
I did take a photo of a rare car today though, parked in Deira city centre.

A Rover SD1.

God alone knows why it's here, but it is.

I agree shirt. Most of the more common exotics (RR's, Bentley CGT's, 458's, etc.) I ignore, although I do snap the Mansory's and the Fab Designs and what not (for some odd reason my pictures of them get a lot of views) but I don't post it here, and an odd classic here and there (if it piques my interest).


Edit: How about a short video of the silver Exige S I spotted a while back? Boy it was hot that day! (I don't know how to embed on PH...)

I was in Al Quoz a while back for a meeting and close by was a garage that had a couple of Jag XJSs - I was far more interested in those than I was with all the other new shiny stuff.

Went to Ikea today at DFC and got stuck in a que of many many nice cars (mainly american V8's) which all parked up next to ikea.

Any idea what the meet is as it seemed a properly organised job?

For a brief moment I was sandwiched between a wonderful Merc SLS (reg K 17) in a trick green/blue paint and an orangy red Gallardo with a stupendous wing on the SZR yesterday - I must have looked a right tit in my car in the middle.

Time to change...

That was Motoring Middle East's car meet! I was there as well, saw a LM002 and the yellow 993 Carrera RS amongst other cars...

Clears that one up then! Was a rather lucky find to say the least then.

Yes some fantastic cars, R35 Spec V in the car park, Morgan, AC Cobra (not sure if real or not but looked fantastic)lots and lots of cars.

My only pic of the LM002 was blurred annoyingly, never came across one in real life before!
