Wow, what a collection!

Without wanting to sound like a dick, not sure about the 722 edition of the Mcmerc? There is a "standard" one that parks outside where I live, and I think it looks loads better, the turbine wheels really set the car off

What a car as well, the noise is simply incredible, can hear him miles away

Not only that but it really is a practical supercar as well, he uses it day in, day out without any problems at all. Great car

Wow

I read in the latest 911 & Porsche World that Gemballa got the "instant green light to buying a new V10" Carrera GT engine simply for development "with a shrug of his shoulders"

Obviously a lot of people with quite a bit of cash to flash!

Saying that you see pretty smart cars in London most days!

Nice cars. However, the Merc SLR looks bad, the shutlines are very poor and un-german, the 722 numbering doesn't even line up properly.

As to the lack of Subaru's in Dubai - the sole dealer is totally useless. I bought a brand new MY02 bug-eye WRX, as no STI's were available. That year they sold a grand total of 7 WRX's - as they were 'sent' them by FHI - they only wanted 5!!!! Since then they have never had any WRX's in stock!
The car came with a 6 month warranty only - but that compared favourably to Mitsubishi who were offer no warranty at all on a new Evo 7

Since owning my car it went back once to Subaru for a service, where they managed to destroy an amplifier - for which I got no compensation at all. They have never had the 'pleasure' since.

Trackdays here are a lot of fun with some pretty expensive stuff coming out to play. The 'best' I have seen was a Carrera GT (including a parking 'dent' in the bodywork - ouch!), but Ferrari 360/430, Lambo's, Astons etc are common - with Porsche 911's (GT3, GT3RS etc) being extremely common.

The quickest cars are still the Radicals though - but not much fun to drive home!

Not attempting to 'top' the photos - but Mercedes Benz had an event at Jumeirah Beach Hotel recently, and in the car park on day 1 were 7 Mercedes McClaren SLR's all in a darkish blue, and the following day these were replaced with 7 large Maybachs

As was stated above - there ain't too much money here!

Neil
