mice selection outside my hotel tonight. 993 cab, 993c4, 997gt3, cayman r, maser granturismo and a very nice orange murcielago.
also spotted a very broken toyota previa on the way back from work after a brief but extremely bumpy desert excursion. i say spotted, i was in the passenger seat!

The beemer is lovely but modern metal does have its place.
I sold my Mustang today and there was a lovely Exotic Cars plated Murci SV in white and black going through the test at the same time. Stunning to look at and even at tick-over it sounded just so...angry. A wonderful piece of kit.

my hotel is showing the footy, outside are various ferrari's and a merc slr.
i'm siding up to the slr to have a look in the window when the concierge comes out and asks me if it's mine. i say yeah, fancy going for a spin?
no sooner have i done peering when he's back at my side with the keys. a ferris bueller moment occurred before the word PRISON loomed large and i had to explain i was just trying to be funny.
all the while i'm wearing shorts, old tshirt and flip flops. gotta love dubai!

A $500 car (purchased from someone I know so its condition is verified in advance) plus $1500 or so for shipping and USA export charges plus 5% import duty here plus inspection and registration still makes it a reasonable overall price for a near-unique car that is easy(ish) to look after thanks to its Honda Legend mechanical bits and excellent backup via the internet ( www.rover800.info/forum ).
Put it this way, it will be cheaper than the shagged out, million mile Toyota Camrys and Honda Civics that you see advertised locally!

Brit - born and bred. So the Alan Partridge stuff is understood!
I've been running 800s for years now and therefore know them inside out. I got rid of my last one 12 months ago when I moved to the UAE but the idea of having one out here appeals to me. The reason for going for the American Sterling is that it is LHD and easier/cheaper to get hold of than an LHD European one.
The current owner was quoted $1500 for "ro-ro" shipping from Galveston, Texas to Dubai (including all US taxes etc) and so the only thing I need to add to that it the 80 road trip from Houston to Galveston. A container would be double that price, of course.
