Default This is why the gas is expensive these days

I know it's a lame joke but the car is ridiculous. Who would pay for a real silver MTM A8? It had to be a Sheik. Ok, It could have been a rapper or a filthy rich footballer, but still...

Actually this is not real silver. It´s just a polished A8, means that they removed all the paint until the blank aluminium appeared which reflects the surroundings. MTM actually built this in a limited edition. This one has been build in 2003 and was A GIFT by MTM for a sheek from Dubai after he visited the Middle East International Motor Show.

^sorry for the l8 repy dude
well u won't believe it.. we don't get australian badged cars here but we do get the Caprice, the Lumina (commodore).. and ppl here adore the Lumina V8.. though we get the LS1 engine not the LS2 engine its much weaker.. and the Lumina ain't agressive as much as the commodore.. but ppl here just adore that car!!

to be honest i am not a fan of the Lumina.. i kinda h8 it actually, and i guess the main reason of me hating that car is ppl here, they are ignorants and just becuase it has a 5.7 V8 engine they think its sooo fast! the Lumina we get here does a 0-60 in 6.3 seconds and quarter mile in 14.3 !! on top of that they believe it can beat an Evolution..

and yeah our crown prince wanted the Super V8 be represented in bahrain all because of that reason, he knew it will be a BOOM and most of the young car enthusiasts will go..

if u have any thing else plz do ask and its so nice to see someone who knows Bahrain here
