Spotted a lovely bond spec db-s in the marina around 6pm, only mentioning it as I thought someone on here bought one?

Also a 7series bmw reversing between junctions on SZR near ibn battuta around 10pm. This one gets a mention for him doing so in the second lane of the bloody motorway!

horrible sight this morning - by Media city on SZR. Saudi registered white Porsche 918 been in quite a serious crash... caused quite a tail back

Grey La Ferrari on RAK plates from back of DIFC up past Dubai Mall. Looked brilliant (and so much better than red in my view). Did not look like a wrap but I could be wrong. Sounded quite good too.

Hi folks, long term lurker and resident of Dubai here. Finally decided to sign up and my first post will be here. Shelby Cobra Coupe (or more likely one of the replicas?) on Shk Z earlier today. A cage in the back, 5.7 badging on the front wings and a truly ridiculous full size number plate stuck on the inside of the windscreen right in the centre. Apologies for the not so great pic, I promise to improve going forward.

Anyone? E11 towards Dubai around 1400 today.

Would bet the 356 was Phil McGovern - uses it as his daily!

Well done that man!

It's a replica BTW.

the green hardtop? saw it and his orange 912 outside cafe rider at the weekend. i know there's a company who makes a hardtop replica but i very much doubted that was the case [didn't stop to tap the panels mind you].

if it is then i need to speak to him.

if it isn't, its a genuine 1600 super.

it both cases, it looks awesome

martin & walker make a 356 coupe

there's several companies who do

this looks familiar:

whilst i weep for the fact you could buy a genuine one for the same money not all that long ago, a bent window outlaw with a subaru boxer engine is a tempting prospect.

There was a gold/metallic beige Cadillac XLR (the hard top convertible) parked where the catering staff had their cars but the security guard would not let me in to take a photo.

Long short but do any of the racers on here happen to know who owns it? I have been looking for a decent one.

World's worst photo alert:



G63 on portal axles with twin air shocks at each corner

Cooler than a very cool thing

Mate just spotted a white Lexus LFA at the DIFC/Emirates Towers roundabout. That and F1 have long been the first that would be on the transported if the Euromillions came up

[XB70]

Anyone one here with a yellow GT3 that was from DIFC, past the Mall and along Al Khail last night?

I was behind you - very nice looking car. Pity about the clown cutting in front of you outside the Mall!

I think someone in Leyan community must be importing cars.

This morning outside of of the blocks were the following Japanese imports which looked to be in amazing condition:
F355 coupe
F355 targa
F360 challenge straddle
911 GT3RS (with rollcage)
964 shape 911 with what looked like bolted on wheel arches (not sure of the model)


All next to the Viper that lives there

Someone in my building has exceptionally good taste.

Jaguar Project 7 has just appeared, tucked away under a cover in the corner.
From the very little of it I can see under the cover it looks incredible.

I believe only 2 in the UAE.
Need to find out who's it is and try and blag a ride. Pretty much my favourite modern day car.

I cant see the appeal personally, but there you go......an old volvo
