2 x BMW z8's in Abu Dhabi. Both an absolute mess and someone has been allowed to paint pictures on them with brushes

What would possess someone to do / allow that!? BMW apparently made 5,700 odd examples, most I assume are tucked away in collections so I suppose two, together, all messed up, is a rare phenomenon.

It's had the fuel cap redone since then I take it?

It could have done, or it could be a different example of their work. If you look around their website you'll see other cars with that filler.

Compared to a Singer, the lines of the wings and front valance on this car are completely different, and give the car a much heavier look. If you parked the two alongside each other they'd look completely different.

Thanks. He just text the photo and I questioned whether it was a Singer. Turns out it's a 3rd hand pic, his friend sent it to him...

Anyway, still nice nonetheless

Kind of cheating as a bit easier in Dubai

Mine have all been at the Atlantis hotel, but the malls are good also. I've just come to Abu Dhabi for a few days before flying home and they are everywhere here.

Poor pic. But the V12 noise was incredible

Were you in Knightsbridge this morning? I was admiring a green Sagaris that was driving past Harrods earlier!

[DickyC]

UK registered RHD and no hint of a front number plate. Stylish.

Seen this morning beneath the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo Parkway shopping centre in Newbury.

Yep, that was me. En-route to South Ken

That's not a Singer.

I questioned him too, but he said it was... because of the RSR fuel cap, the mad rear arches and what looks like the recaros that are often fitted I thought it could be, but something doesn't look quite right.

Care to enlighten?

Certainly looks like one to me too.

Looks like fibreglass especially around the rear arches. It just looks a bit off even for a Singer, too bubbly or something.

Rather than stand around Dubai Mall just go down Sheikh Zayed road in a taxi and stop at Deals On Wheels next to the Oasis Centre. Then walk back towards burj Khalifa direction and there are are more. Back in cab and ask to go down to Al Ain Class cars near mall of Emirates. Also have a poke around the new Bentley dealership which is nearby (worlds largest I think) then back in cab and five-minutes further to Tomini Classics on Umm Suqqueim. Email them in advance and get an appointment (they are car nuts so not a problme) and you may get to see their storage area.

Aside from a McLaren F1, you'll see just about everything you would want :-)

Seen this a few times in the past, luckily I caught a photo of it this morn. Not up on Aston’s but it’s a lovely looking thing.

[DickyC]

That's a DB4 - and I'd go so far as to say it's a Series IV.

This blew my mind today

Transformers, robots in disguise

Nice though.

Nice!



Anybody know of a "Driving experience" type place where you can drive a P1? Everywhere I've looked just has 570s or 458Italias with a smattering of Lambos. I want to drive a Hypercar

[Zippee]

No pic as I was driving but was passed by a stunning carbon/black Zonda on the A14 near Corby this afternoon. Reg was 760 ** and it sounded immense, the sheer road presence of it as well

[Master Bean]

An orange McLaren 720S near Ampney Crucis this morning. First time seeing one in person.

That is not a Singer, The instant giveaway is the positioning of the wipers, they should be much close together so they almost act like a double bladed single unit. Check out a real singer and you will see what I mean
