Oh to be the boss!!

One excited boss in the office today, his 6 month old California has been traded for this



Apparently the first customer car in Dubai..... very nice it is too!!

[dxbtiger]

wondered when these would start to appear!

Assume he is local?

I've seen stacks - red, white, yellow and black. Workshop at Al Tayer was full of them too.

Lovely looking things, even better noise.

ETA: one letter or some white tape away from a perfect number plate too!

Really... I've not seen any yet.
Seen plenty of the tin top 458 but he's adamant that his is the first customer spyder in DXB

Me thinks Mr Hitch hasn't realised it's the Spider

[IanUAE]

He wasn't the only one!

[Harris_I]

Me too.

Also, it must be just me, but I can't get excited about modern Ferraris. Meh.

Help a brother out!

Have to admit I'd prefer an FF to one of these. Black on black with black wheels, yellow dials and belts. Yum.

I'm reserving judgement until I see how much of a hassle the roof panel is to remove and what the car looks like up close without it in place.

Apparently I can borrow it at some point, so I'm definately looking forward to seeing how it drives, maybe it'll change my opinion of flappy paddles!!

electric folding roof isn't it?

so no hassle whatsoever!

From the pics I have seen it looks better with it down as well.

I was hoping that was the case, I took lots of pics at the motorshow last year but couldn't really tell from them.... boss is now away for a few days, sadly didn't leave the car with me though :-(

it looks great topless. i'm not sure roof hassles are a major factor when you have the $$$ for one of these.

owith roof up, i prefer the coupe. shows how much the window lines make or break the design.

Guess who I saw at MoE today?

I emailed you last month re: the legal job. Didn't work out, as the Swedish guy wanted to use a local. He sounds like a very interesting bloke!

Shame really - would have loved to work with you on that!

Can you tell Briony her email was hacked! I got two spam emails from her account last week!

Sorry John, was early in the morning... I'd forgotten that!
It's definately an interesting company to work for, that's for sure!
