Hamann has given this F430 a totally different look, I have always liked the combination of black and orange, but this is slightly different with a matt black and glossy orange which gives this machine an edge. The wing doors with the lightweight rims round off the look of this Ferrari. With their modifications they have also improved the engine to provide an extra 50 bhp.

I went to the Audi R8 launch with K.TheKuwaiti on Wednesday around 6 pm and I have to say that pictures don’t do this machine justice. It is a beautiful work of art and sculpted perfectly in every way. A lot of technology has been integrated into it, and I have to say that I love the gear shifter, it really feels like a machine that is meant to fly. The R8 is larger in real life then I thought it would be, and it also has a very nice interior for a race oriented sports car. It has the true Audi touches which make this one beautiful vehicle. The vehicle is going into production in July, and there are currently 30 people on the waiting list for this vehicle, and only a few will be coming into Kuwait by September. Amazing machine, too bad it was only a prototype and they wouldn’t have let us test drive it, I don’t think they would have even if it was the real thing, but it was nice to see. This event took place at the Sahara Country Club which is also worth a visit, its a very nice golf course, I’m not sure of the membership fees though.
Update:
The price is around 43’000 KD
The Audi TT modified to be a true driving machine with ceramic breaks, modified suspension and supercharged engine to make for a such a powerful small sports car with extremelly streak lines. They really did it this time, they have created a one purpose vehicle, only to be driven in the right areas, it looks amazing and I really like the lines of this two door machine.
I haven’t changed my tire by myself in a while, but last night I was happy to see that it was as simple as before. I walk out of my house to find the Landcruiser leaning onto one side. My back right tire was flat, so I undid the spare cover and proceeded to replace the tire. I went to the Mishref Coop Garage and they patched up the tire and pulled this large broken nail out of the tire. I’m assuming its from some where in Shuweikh, and I’m happy that the tires held out without any issues.
This is the concept vehicle from Lexus which is supposed to have 500 plus horsepower and the latest technology possible. I think its a beautiful machine and I hope they include into their new line-up of vehicles. Cross drilled brakes, 8-speed gear with paddle shifting, mid-mounted engine for perfected weight distribution. There is no price tag to this machine, but I wish they had one, it would probably be better then any vehicle currently out there.

With the arrival of the new BMW X5 Hamann has taken it and modified the look, handling, and performance of the vehicle giving it a different feel then the standard. This version looks a lot better to me then the original vehicle from BMW.

I previously posted about the Lexus IS-F, and it seems Lexus are now taking orders for it. It will be in production for 2008, a 400 bhp sport sedan from Lexus. Some people are putting down payments on it. I think that this is an amazing vehicle and probably good value for your money. I would take a Lexus IS-F over an M3 anyday.
Sport suspension, body kit, and exhaust system makes this Scaglietti look and handle even better then before. There is something about the Scaglietti that I like, its different then the usual Ferrari and I think it has a different attitude to it that I like! I wouldn’t mind getting behind the wheel of this beauty!

This is the most annoying vehicle I have ever seen. I remember it has been around for a while now, but really really dislike it and it annoys me. It makes the Smart Car look big. It reminds of a big nose on wheels, and all I want to do everytime I see it moving is kick it over. It costs 6000 – 9000 pounds depending on the options you go with, and the top speed is between 40-45 mph which is nothing short of a snails pace. Just because London has so much congestion charges and parking problems some people get this vehicle. They should be banned because they are so damn ugly!

This is the modified 3 series from Alpina, its surprising to see them modify a 3 series since I haven’t seen them do that yet. They have bumped it to 360bhp with a good amount of torque with the Turbo. I don’t like the lines of the Alpina too much but I do think they did a pretty good job with this vehicle but I’m not sure about the rims. I don’t know how much they are charging for it as well.
