While we could only hope to be on the receiving end of a sum of money amounting to SAR 3 million, an Egyptian expat in Saudi Arabia has reportedly refused to accept an offer for his exclusive number plate that reads “SSS 1”.
We in the Middle-East are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a nice piece of metal to hit the dunes. Of course, among pickups, there’s only one top dog, from the Ford camp. However, the folks at tuners Lingenfelter and Southern Comfort Automotive ask you to think otherwise with their Silverado-based Chevrolet Reaper.
With all the hype over three-row crossover SUVs such as the Ford Explorer, the Honda Pilot and the Nissan Pathfinder, we’re wondering why more people don’t ask us about the Dodge Durango when discussing their shopping lists. They should, because we could hardly find a fault with the facelifted 2014 version that we just drove across the country in.
When it comes to cars, how do you turn more heads than a Bugatti Veyron with only a Dhs 25,000 budget? The Nagawa XFR is the easy answer, and yes, that’s what it costs.
Rolls-Royce recently revealed the Ghost V-Specification model, a limited edition version of the Ghost and Ghost long-wheel base version. It will only be available from this January to June 2014.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the United States runs a unique “small-overlap” crash test where they make all test-subject cars to crash into an immobile object with only part of the frontal area of the car. It is supposed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or a lamp-post. In the test, 25%t of a vehicle’s front end on the driver’s side strikes a rigid barrier at 64 kph. And the 11 mini-cars tested performed poorly, although it’s not a huge surprise.
Here we are, trundling around in the all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla 2.0 Limited again. This time we have it for a longer period, so we can dig further into its features and mannerisms.
The stares and the curiosity were unavoidable. I saw jaws drop and grown up men behave like children. Suddenly, everyone wanted to prove that their motorcycling days started astride a motorcycle like this. All this drama took place on one of the weekend rides earlier this month when I turned up on this, the all-new Royal Enfield Continental GT.
