Nice stuff! Where was the 8C spotted?


Anyways, spotted a lovely yellow LP640 at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray at the Palm today (decided to go for a drive lol). Didn't have the camera with me though :/.
A 8C has been spotted at MoE before.

Spotted at Spinney's car park Dubai Marina Walk.

Then again today at the Meadows petrol station. Oooh the noise.

Black 991 Carrera S absolutely flying through media city past the press club.

From what I saw it looked nice except for all the stupid badges on the back.

First one I've seen in the flesh

spotted a silver 930 cabriolet on al khail road earlier. the whale tail spoiler looked appalling on the narrow body.

not so much a spot, but a 'guess where i was'. all under cover, but the shapes of a maser mc12, ferrari f40, ferrari daytona and classic mustang are pretty much unmistakable!

There's an 8C convertible in the showroom (unfortunately white with a red roof though) and some sort of concept car next to it - was wizzing past but it looked lovely.

Not the first time spotting this (a Hamann LP640) but the first time getting a video of it leaving (spotted on Saturday), pure eargasm (turn your speakers up!)!

Candy red. Such an achingly beautiful colour. Was seriously considering repainting my 'grale that colour (same as the final special edition Dealer Collection 'grale) but opted for the original look instead.
That candy red looks too dark as Candy is candy red and she is a lot lighter red. Unless they used the silver base and not the gold which makes it look a harsher red.

I think that makes sense....or not.

I think I know what you mean. The red I was thinking of is a slightly more burgundy colour with a metallic base. I remember seeing a Dealer Collection in the flesh once and wanting it so badly. It's not called candy on the 'grale but I thought it was on other Alfas/Ferraris. Whatever, it's lovely.

I saw that the other night outside Motor City shops - a local looking chap was driving around waving at people. I wonder which of his girlfriends he has living there...

Found a Qvale Mangusta, BMW Z1 and a Shelby Cobra (replica?) at a garage in Al Quoz. Also saw a yellow Lancia Delta at Max Garage, looked sooo nice! Couldn't get a pic/vid as I was driving!

Headed towards Dubai Mall later that evening, mostly the same exotics except for two Lamborghini Aventadors with interesting license plates (AD 7777 and 9999).

Edit: Might as well include pics (check the links in the above paragraphs for the videos!).

Yep, that's mine. Max are good at body and interior restoration - they did a really good job on my seats which now look as new. Anything complex and mechanical would probably be better done elsewhere.

The car is number 500 of a 500 limited run. It's on at 1.1M AED.

Personally I prefer the lines of the 8C coupe.

I want that Cobra so much.

I also prefer the 8C coupe
