Dubai > Abu Dhabi (Sheik Khalifa's Royal Auto Gallery) > Dubai, a good few kms but all motorway stuff this time.

From the collection, why have 1 when you can have 2 ...

I saw a Shmee video of this - looked incredible. Is this open to the public? I have remainder of this week and all of next week off before starting a new job so planning to do as much car-related stuff as a I can while I have free weekdays.

Cheers

Unfortunately it's invite only. Copies of ID and registration beforehand and all cross checked by security upon arrival.

It is the most impressive modern collection I've seen (one of the guys there did say that there is now a similar set up in RAK but bigger and better) and an invite that everything else gets rescheduled for if you get one.

Thanks - if anyone ever is in the position of inviting a 'plus 1' I would most grateful! But am guessing there is a long queue ahead of me!

I almost forgot, if Derek still looks in here occasionally then this one is for you (yes, I finally stopped lurking and started to contribute) ...

Indeed it is.

Strange. The other night I had an extremely vivid dream where I saw a vector w8 and took a pic to post on this thread. Of course it didn't happen.

Anyway: boys night out:

saw two new Panamera's out testing undisguised - unfortunately didn't get a photo. looked good though.

Porsche do the hot weather testing every year out here, tired to blag a job a driver, seem pretty boring set routes set speeds

The Garage that used to run them has closed so I am not sure how runs them now

The merc W124 500e in Bornite that was spotted a few pages back is mine.

Will be letting it go soon, PM me if interested. Not many of them around it seems.

Saw a fisker karma yesterday. They're not a good looking car imo. Will be a future Classic in the same way a towns lagonda is viewed today - very much of its time

[James72911]

couple more spotted - with pictures this time!

Triumph in Motor City, and a Morgan in U-Bora tower carpark

Older BMW 745i (E23 series) on SMBZ road this morning - passed me at Global Village. Looked in great condition

who is it on here with the testarossa? was that yours at DA today? kudos for the baby seat whoever it belongs to.

also saw the new evora 400 on the way out being given full beans, sounded a hell of a lot better than the previous incarnations.

The Testarossa is mine mate. Baby seat is for the budding petrol head she loves anything with an engine. She once even wanted to ride on the lawnmower LOL.
