Spur of the Moment

Bentley Continental Flying SpurSecond one on the blog.

Black and White

Jaguar XKR convertibleYou know a driver values their car when they take up two parking spaces!

I'm not a big fan of Jaguars, but this is the first time I've seen the XKR up close. This is definitely the hottest Jag I've met. I've heard other people say that it looks a lot like some Aston Martins and I would agree (especially that front end). Maybe that's why I like it.

Bentley Continental GTSecond black one I've seen.

Porsche Cayenne SFirst, two black Lambos and now a pair of pearl-white Porsches.

Ramadan Nights

Sorry about the dark photos. The exotics are pretty scarce in the daytime during the month of Ramadan. I think all the high-end cars are at home sleeping in the afternoon. After dark, however, some of them come out to play.

Bentley Continental GTThis is a different GT than the white one I saw last month.

Porsche Cayenne Gemballa GT BiturboA Cayenne that has been tuned by German aftermarket company Gemballa.

Two Chevrolet Corvette C6Two Corvette convertibles stopped at a traffic light. That's the front end of a Porsche Cayenne on the right-hand side.

Rolls-Royce PhantomThe driver is waiting for several ladies in black.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead CoupéThis is the first time I've seen one of these. It's the two-door convertible version of the Phantom. Gotta love the suicide doors.

The most amazing car that I've seen during Ramadan was a black Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. I didn't manage to capture a photo of it, but I'll keep on the lookout.

Evening Closes In

Mazda RX-8
Don't see many of these around here. In fact, this is the first one I've seen in this country.

Chevrolet Corvette C4
Lots of C6s in Qatar, but I rarely come across one of these fourth-generation Corvettes.

Bentley Continental GT
Another first; a white GT.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur
This is the four-door version of the Continental, introduced in 2005. Like the GT model, it has a powerful W12 engine.

Ferrari F430 Spider
Even Ferraris can get tickets!

Classic Luxury

Bentley Continental GT
Another Bentley to add to the collection. First black one I've seen.

Rolls-Royce Phantom
A serious luxury car. These cost something like $300,000. Notice that the handles on the rear doors are close to the front; rear-hinged doors! Not very common.

Ford Thunderbird
Fourth generation (c. 1965). Really don't see many classic cars like this around here.

Evading capture today was a white Mercedes SLR McLaren and a white convertible Lamborghini with the top down!

Weekend in the Village

Porsche 911 Turbo

Turbo!

Porsche CarreraMay be convertible?

Chevrolet Corvette C6
Haven't seen this deep orange colour one before.

Bentley Continental GT
First Bentley of the day. This guy just decided to make his own parking spot. First time I've seen the nine-spoke wheels.

Bentley Continental GT
Second Bentley of the day. That makes four in a week! (red, white, sliver & blue)

Audi R8Built on the same platform as the Lamborghini Gallardo (same chassis, same transmission), just with a smaller engine. And about half the price!

Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

One of the most expensive production cars in the world, at about $500,000.

Also saw another Prowler today, deep red in colour. Didn't manage to get a photo.

North Side

Bentley Continental GTC
Two Bentleys in two days! This one was a soft top. 550bhp!

Dodge Charger R/T
I believe that is a 5.7L Hemi V8.
This Charger appeared to be locked down by the police. That's a real car capture!

Porsche 911 turbo
Type 997, I think.

Landmark Starting Line

Bentley Continental GTI think this is the Continental GT Speed, but I'm not sure (check out those wheels!).
In any case, that W12 engine gives it a top speed of over 300km/h (326km/h for the GT Speed).

Chrysler Prowler
"Inca Gold" paint colour? 2002.
