Default Just back from Dubai/Abu Dhabi. SO many 997 and 991 Turbos blasting around town...

Hi Rennlist Folks,

Was curious to check out Dubai and Abu Dhabi one day so I finally went this past week. So many high line cars, high line dealers, and Porsche Turbos blasting around town noisily on and off exit ramps. It was exciting to see them all, in addition to the other exotics that floated about. They almost scared you as their exhausts were so loud when they blew by our taxis.

7 lanes of road on each side of the "highway" that goes through town and it was always filled with hot Porsches - many Turbos and Turbo S's. At rush hour, it crept along at a snails pace, miserably, but a good opportunity to see them up close.

If you were curious what it all looked like last week, here you go.

Hope the link works. I never used Flickr before.
