Autorun

This weekend a group of car enthusiasts organized an event called Autorun.
Starting from the desert resort Bab Al Shams they drove to the Dubai Autodrome, and then afterwards to The Fairmont in Dubai. Each participant paid 10,000 dirham (about $2700 USD) to enter, and there were approximately 100 cars in all.

They ranged from the Bugatti Veyron, the most expensive and fastest street legal car in the world, a myriad of Ferraris, Porsches and Mercedes, and one Chevy Lumina (go figure).


Many had been modified by specialists like Hamann as well as local garages.

My favourites were the Cobra’s that sat on either side of a Ferrari 599 GTB (SLS favourite).

Of course there were agency girls there for the major sponsors, Exotic Cars and Red Bull.

Another small sponsor, Aquatic Style, decided to match their girls with a pimp style guy (Gunther lookalike), altogether a strange combination.


As we left we passed this unknown car (kit car maybe?), outside and alone.

The porche was pretty cool but personally I'm more into something built rather solid... however I have been looking at the mustangs pretty closely
