Vector W8 on SZ road

[oilydan]

Wow, well spotted!

Edit to add: We could possibly have the best 'Spotted' thread on PH here (if Harris stops posting fakes )

I'm heading out with a camera today to see what I can find. Although I'm only going to Dragon Mart and Karama so don't have much in the way of expectations!!

A fully functioning Urvan/twin cab pick-up. They would be rare sights to see.

Saw an Enfield Bullet with a sidecar at MoE and a C-Class Merc 4 door pickup. Oh and a red Carver in Barsha.

Lovely 599 GTO in Metallic Pearl White (Dubai Marina Walk)

Silver 911 SC in Emirates Hills this evening. Looked in good nick and sounded great - was in the Prado, so switched the stereo off, opened the window and listened to it ...

Just remembered I had this on the phone - outside Raffles at Wafi.

Yellow mini (proper one, not one of the BMW pastiche things) on SZR road this morning. Looked tiny in amongst the 4wds

Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni growling it's way down SZR this evening. Magnificent looking and sounding car.

This guy is my neighbor, he also has a 'vette Indy 500, a couple of old Caddys and a Diablo.

Unfortunately he also has a mk II golf 4x4

This morning I saw one of those Can Am trike things on SZR. I always thought they looked quite cool but;
a) they don't lean so they look a bit awkward and not much fun, and
b) chap on it was stuck in the same traffic I was!

This evening I saw a horrible pastel yellow new Cayenne at the Porsche centre as I walked out the office. Oh well I thought, each to their own...until I noticed it had matching painted wheels. Horrific, should have taken a pic.

An immaculate Lotus Esprit V8 outside Grosvenor House hotel.

Lovely!

That new Bentley saloon in baby blue on the back of a carrier yesterday on Emirates Road. Not a great looking car.

Talking of Bentley's, I sa a pimped up GT yesterday. Black with a huge spoiler and silly wheels. Looked a bit off to me.
Also a 911 GT4 RS...I didn't know there was such a thing.

Stand out car seen recently for me was one of these on the SZR. It was white and was beautiful. So classy compared to all the modern stuff.

There isn't - however, there is a penchant for muppets to stick badges on anything. It's just the slightly more expensive version of sticking a 'Type R' badge on a 1.3l Civic.

Ah, I see!

Had a mammoth weekend spotting on Marina Walk and in the surrounding area.

Gemballa GT



3 Ferraris, a Lambo and a Roller



Murcie Roadster




Also saw an ABT kitted Audi RS6 with 25" rims and the F458 with 45800 on the plate...

This is the car I would buy if I had to go back to the UK.

They are around the GBP20k mark nowadays, I wonder if you could get that one for AED180k?

Bloody hell! That is a serious collection of cars in one place. Think the F458 with 45800 is white?
