Do car showrooms get any better than this ?
Discussion
Out and about this morning (call it tyre kicking) and dragged my camera along for the journey. No flash with me, so you'll have to excuse the quality.
Anyway - a small selection of the motors from this morning for your delight / slating / general comments.
Three wheels on my wagon.

Outside we have this. Which, if I'm to be honest - reminds me of Seymour from the little House of Horrors. Yours for about £60K

Not bad at all. The best one I've visited (under duress - it was for a repair) is Auto Storica in Barcelona. These photos do not begin to do it justice:
What makes it so surprising is the Spanish don't really do classic cars or sports cars. Because the current moneyed generations grew up in the aftermath of Franco's rule they never aspired to own exotic cars. So it was a bit of a shock when we found a Ferrari Daytona, numerous Aston Martin DBs, a Miura SV, a Lamborghini 3500 and more TRs and Austin Healeys than you could shake a stick at holed up in an industrial unit in a rather rough suburb of Barcelona.

I believe so. AutoSalon Singen.
Was about to post this, best by an absolute mile. Makes the Dubai places look like income support specials.I believe so. AutoSalon Singen.
They have a cool walk-around flash feature on their website, on a visit a little while ago they also had a 250GTO in what can only be described as a drive-in safe.

Great pics Craig but i thought you was working in america/Canada?
I do, but that doesn't stop me travelling the world and perving at car porn.

Hshs, I opened this thread thinking I bet it is not as good as Al Ain Class.
Which branch was it?
As above - out at the second hand place.Which branch was it?
Tomorrow I'm looking for engines and gearboxes at Sharjah.
Anyone fancy a slightly used Bentley engine or a brand new Subaru engine for stupid money ?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
