Porsches, BMWs, Mercs, Maybachs, Rolls, Bentley's, Astons, Ferraris, Lotus, Jags....you name it.
If it is not a '99+, its not a car (that is the way they think).
NO ONE, here works on their own car like you guys. Just take it to the dealership, and have it repaired there, so i do not know where you got the idea of a '79 Peugeot witha Merc badge on it (some one was pulling your leg).
By the way, did i mention we have the world's first 7 star hotel that was nominated the world's most luxurious hotel in 2002 and 2003? along with the world's bext airlines for 99 and 2000?
Hmmm.......just imagining that '79 peugeot again........nah......been here for 20 years, never saw ONE........
Anyway, seem's that Skylines, Supras, Subarus, Evo etc are the way to go here. This is a 'bigger is better' market (some idiot got a 1,000hp Turbotonics wastegate and fitted it into his 200hp set up, claims that wastegate was worth every penny
what a laugh).
We do not have much services here like ceramic/jet coating, tripple chrome plating/polishing what-so-ever. IF there is a car with 26" chrome fat a$$ wheels here, it was imported and costed $15K+........
Now i hope you all know what kind of city this is.......but then again, when people see my car and say "Oooh what car is that" I go 'Porsche' They say "Really, i though it was a '95 Toyota or Nissan'. ONly the porsche specialist and the dealer know what i am driving, and they are trying their best to meed my demands (especially the specialist, he used to own a 951 in germany, yes he is german and knows this car's potential).

Dubai is a fantastic place, it is definately the way forward, clean low crime rates great weather. I spent some time there on business and was lucky enought to spend some time down at the Yacht Club.
So many top level celebrities are buying places out there now.
To anybody who has never been there, get yourself out there!!
The Burj Al Arab hotel surely is one of the modern woders of the world too
As Hosrom says it is probably one of the best hotels in the world shaped like an arabian boat sail
Did they just decide "Were gonna be special, lets say our hotel is a 7 star one"?
