It's been too long my friends but I wanted to share a couple shots from a meet I helped organized prior to the summer. Next meet of the season is this weekend (we're driving to the capital, Abu Dhabi, and will have a go-kart race).

I hope you are all well and please let me know if you ever pass through Dubai. I would also like to hear from you if you are based here but have not joined our little "club".

Best,

JP

Hi JP,

Looks great! Is Dubai starting to be more habitable now the weather is calming down a bit? I went karting out at Al Ain a couple of months ago but even then I nearly cooked!

I'll probably be in Dubai in the next four to six weeks and will send you a PM.

Hi JP,
60K miles, obviously not all in Dubai, or it's been on a rolling road for a while..?? It's nice to see a bit of classy metal assembled, I know Dubai has it's fair share of brash expensive, but your photo does show a bit of class. No I'm not biased at all.
Cheers

Robert,

I picked her up in the US with 20k miles in the summer of 2009, and put on 40k miles since (mind you, I was in London and Singapore for 2 of the 4 years...)...she's my daily :)

Yet more great pictures JP and lot's of curves..!! I have friends out in Dubai but have not been over for about 4 years now I think, last time I went they were just on with fitting out the Burg Khalifa Tower which was actually built but still required interior work. Keep those lovely pictures coming.
Cheers

Gents, the time has come to part ways with my beloved GranSport...she's going back to the US (Seattle!) and will be in the good hands of enthusiast Trygve, who I have encouraged to join this forum.

In summary, I decided to sell because I wasn't driving her much (<3k highway miles a year in the last 4 years, showing 73k miles now). My BMW Z4M Coupe took over daily driving duties in summer 2014 and you'll be pleased to know that weekend duties have gone to a certain British supercar with a name suitable for a vacum cleaner ;) ;)

I will miss her and the relationships built around her. Thank you for all your advice and support over the years. Wish you all the best! p.s. I have asked for right of first refusal if Trygve decides to sell her in the future :)

Trygve, I'm looking forward to your first post on here!

JP!

Still remember the day you wandered in to Ace Cafe London.

Oh well, you can say you've had your time with her and I know the lure of your next Maserati wont be far behind, you dont fancy a 4.7 GTS/Strad then?

Good times meeting you and the boys! How about that trip to Silverstone!?!?!

I think I will return to the brand when they decide to go for something sporty and lightweight...without Chrysler switchgear!!!
