Very nice pics, Imre

Especially the sheiks on their little boat

But the "supercar" looks like ridiculous imho. Very tasteless.

On Palm Jumeirah I see free fronds without buildings yet. What are they planning there? Just more Villas?

3.Supercar

I think that this is the same $14 million license plate. That they look different there is only one number "1".

That car doesn´t look like a Pagani Zonda

It´s a chromed Ford Mustang, look like a 1930s car.

Is this a standard Dubai-number-plate? Or one of the other UAEs?

Why does he have the Saudi Arabia coat of arms emblazened on the trunk spare tire of the car?

Who would chrome a car that had bumpers and taillights installed as an afterthought? Looks pretty ugly to me. I'd be happy to sell him my car - there are 0 like it in the UAE and it would outrun that piece of crap.

GO_UAE · #**7810** Posted **Sep 24, 2009, 6:44 AM**

Ive seen "crap" cars , and i wouldnt put that car into the same category , however , i would never do such a job on my car , its not my taste at all .... though that exterior paint job might of cost 2 times the price of the original car and all that modification , meh !!!

and yes i agree john , you might be able to over take him with all the extra weight he put onto his car

haha

Why is this stuff is in the BD thread?

Tom In Chicago · #**7812** Posted **Sep 24, 2009, 3:29 PM**

^Not sure how to move all the posts (everything from #7802) to a new post in City Photos. . . perhaps a mod or admin can PM me with instructions on how to do that. .

I just thought I would put in a interesting article relating to a pic. I agree that we shouldn't post pictures of our cars and feelings regarding how best to pimp one's ride.

Back to the BD.

I am desperate as this project wraps up for them to restart Nakheel Harbour and Tower. Pipe Dream though.

(Thanks Tom for clarifying about the plate though)
