Oh man! The owner should be kicked in his nads for that, it will cost a fortune to bring that one back to original spec...

I rather like it.  Based on the rainbow-stripe accents on the other two cars in the picture, I would guess that you are at a gay pride car show, but one that is unlike any that I have been to before.     In contrast, I very much dislike the "gullwing" doors on the other car in this thread.

UAE

I visited the Rainbow Sheikhs collection - also known as the UAE National Auto Museum - on Monday. It was about 60k out into the desert and the cabbie looked very dubious as we headed off on the Saudi Road from Abu Dhabi into the sandy bit.

It lives in a purpose built pyramid and was "shut". A small gratuity encouraged it's opening for me, but not the switching on of the lights. A few small/electric cars such as a Smart Fortwo, but a real odd mix from the 80s... The 7 rainbow coloured S-class were in one corner. He has a Grosser, a Lambo LM400 (4x4), several G Wagens, a small Unimog, Several Landies and an E500 (W124) which was among the newest thing there. A collection of ex-US military Humvees too

Did I mention the Dodge truck fetish? See the youtube below....


All in all a very odd experience!

I wept when I had no shoes until I met a man who had no class.
