So, it seems that this "global recession" has not impacted negatively on everyone.
Check this out!
It's a Mercedes McLaren SLR owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).
That is NOT stainless steel people.It's WHITE GOLD!!

Money can't buy taste it seems..

Oh well! Very impressive but damn ugly!

And about 1,000,000,000,000,000 times heavier than my white gold wedding ring

Jasus could you imagine trying to sell that on , although whoever bought it probably never intends to do so.

1. Arab oil billionaires have no taste.
2. The SLR is inherently a very ugly car.

That's old, before recession old

While gold tarnishes easily and needs frequent re-polishing.

Should have gone platinum if money was no object

Now that's what I call good taste.

It looks like the owner loved the 80's cult classic "flight of the navigator"


(and being the Arab world that movie may only be premiering recently )


Either that or its the kind of car that looks like it could transform and lay waste to that mall

I agree with your first point but I really like the SLR.

Also I can use this joke in this thread:

What do you call a camel with four humps?

A Saudi Quattro

Money can buy anything but taste (and brains).

Only for these kind of things i hope the world soon runs out of oil.
So, as Jeremy Clarkson once said "they can use their flying carpets for transport again"
