Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

Are Middle Eastern plates valid in the EU? The pic of the purple Merc was taken somewhere in Europe?
 
Rich Mid Eastern people just drive their cars where ever they want. I've heard/seen pictures that cars from Dubai, Saudi etc are all over Europe.

There were pictures (I posted here as well) of a white SLR with Qatar plates in Paris.
They import their cars. It's not an odd thing. :)
 
A little bit of comedy. Prius passing me on the highway and my Cruise Control is set at 120 km/h. :lol: His gas mileage will be the same as mine at his speeds...:lol:

I had to get up to 140 km/h ;). He was moving ;).
 
These are rare around here, but is usually an M Coupe when I see one, this wasn't ..

Wow! That MC12 in the middle of Stockholm is extremely weird! My question is, how did the driver get it there without causing damage to it.... That underbody must be no more than 30mm off the ground....

Speedos are KM/H in Canada, U.S is MPH.

That CLS is awesome. I love it. And yeah, I could read arabic "Al Kuwait" as well. Mid Easterns get crazy colours for their cars, as I said before.

The Enzo and MC12 and I'm asuming the FXX and Corsa also have a height adjuster so they can just manage to clear big bumps and driveways.
 
Mercedes Benz 220S Coup?

I think the bronze color is cool. And I like the styling with the vertical headlights.

I doubt that the MC12 Corsa has any height adjuster since it is built as a race car for the race track. In other words no need to clear speed bumps out on the track.
I'm guessing that the owner probably doesn't really drive it around town, he probably just likes to show off his car.
 
With soaring gas prices these days it's no surprise that there are a lot of nice cars in the Middle East :D

P.S. - so cars with Middle Eastern plates in Europe are running without auto insurance? And that's legal?

I saw something really rare today and felt the need to share so here goes.

Maserati MC12 Corsa (cousin to the FXX) on the streets of Stockholm.

Hmm tbh I think this one is photoshopped... Not sure.
But I think that car is just a little bit too rare to just stand there in the streets of Stockholm. So I took a better look at the picture. Now if you look in the window of the building you see a reflection of some car (kind of van or suv I think) in it while that MC12 Corsa is parked there... Could be that the reflection is from a car on the other side of the road but just doesnt look like it imo.
Also the back of the car is bit blurry.
I repeat that I could be wrong tough.

Why shouldn't they be insured?

It depends on the insurance you get of course. For instance, I could drive my car with German plates to France, Italy, the UK, etc. and still be insured.

Plates have nothing to do with insurance, but maybe those Arabs have to pay extra (because the cars are not registered in the EU) to be covered in Europe or something.

you are overanalyzing this. There are other sightings of the Corsa

here is one from a parking garage in Monaco
http://img275.imageshack.**/img275/5531/maseratimc12corsamonaco3nw.jpg

the car itself is very low to the ground and may even be picked up in the reflection. the rear of the car is blurry because its not in focus. also if you look at the front of the car, you can see the reflection of the bike.
 
eLIX, that's not a chop. What the hell are you talking about...

Bartboy, car you posted is not a Corsa. It's just a normal MC12, one of the 50s built.

There are only 12 Corsas around, and differences between normal MC12 and the Corsa are obvious.
