I have seen a ton of these videos of guys drifting in the desert using Camry’s and Altima’s but this is the first time I see it done with a new 7-series BMW. [Video]

Thanks bo9agr

I first passed by Auto Bullz around a month ago when they first opened and I was pretty impressed. Tonight I passed by for the second time and took a more careful look at the place and it really isn’t as good as I thought it was the first time I went there. Its mostly filled with cheap knockoffs which really sucks. Instead of the pimped out H2 they had on display the last time they now have an MV Augusta motorbike which I personally think is cooler. But really the place is too big, over staffed and just feels cheap.

The car looks really amazing and these are only spy shots. [Pictures] #

I saw a Ferrari 599 parked outside Salhiya tonight. I thought this car was supposed to go on sale next year? [Link]

I was at Marina Mall yesterday meeting up with a friend when I noticed Alghanim Automotive (my sponsors) had the Escalade EXT on display right outside Virgin. The EXT was my favorite version of the old Escalade and I didn’t know the new one was out yet in Kuwait. So I emailed my contact at Alghanim and asked him about the price and this is what I found out. The Escalade EXT costs KD18,500 and if you trade in your car you get 500KD back. Also the regular Escalade (ie: not pickup) which I previously took out for a drive now costs KD19,500 and according to my contact the price is negotiable. Thats around KD1,500 cheaper then when I reviewed it which is pretty cool but still way out of my league.

I was flipping through Al Hadaf which is like Al Waseet and decided to find out how much certain cars cost to rent. Turns out you can rent a Mustang Saleen for KD60 a day. [Link]

You can also rent a Lamborghini Gallardo for KD400 a day but from a different place, call 6977266 if you are interested.

You can rent a Porsche Carrera 4S for KD145 a day while a Caymann will set you back KD125. Also from a different place and you can contact them on 5649100

Yesterday night on my way to the airport I saw an accident on the 5th ring road just before exit 50. The accident was still fresh since the medics were still at the scene. Turns out a bus carrying works some how rammed into the back of a truck so it was pretty messed scene with a lot of injuries. Here are two pictures I managed to take as I was passing by.

update: Here is a good video shot at the scene by Zaina [Video]

I was checking the forum today and found cool pictures posted by Mocman of a pimped out Honda Accord in Saudi Arabia. It looks like it could easily fit into the upcoming Transformers movie. [Link]

update: Thanks to yazeez, here is a video of the car in action. [Video]

Spy shots atleast.. [Link]

On my way back from dinner yesterday around 10:30PM I noticed a new store had opened just before Marina Mall opposite Eastpak. The store located under the Ponderosa restaurant is called Bullz Auto or something like that. According to a friend of mine it opened up on Thursday.

I took a quick stroll through the store and they basically sell stuff for pimping your car. They had a ton of rims, front and rear car lights, sound systems and a ton of small accessories. Downstairs was closed but it looked like they had clothing, could be biking gear or something.

I only had my phone cam with me so the pictures are crappy. Outside they had a pimped out Corvette and Avalanche while on the inside they had a pimped out H2 with 28-inch rims. I will pass by another day and hopefully take better pics and check out what gear they have downstairs.

Here are some more pictures:

update: its called Auto Bullz not Bullz Auto

My friend just asked to borrow my camera because he wanted to go shoot pictures of his car. I asked him why and he told me MBC have this thing at the moment where if you are bored of your car or don’t like it, send them a picture of it and they might choose to pimp your ride. So I checked the MBC website and it turned out to be true, they are now accepting applications.

If you want MBC to pimp your ride head over to their website and fill in the application form. [Link]

Porsche Kuwait recently launched a local website and they’ve been advertising it kinda heavily in the papers and magazines. So I just checked the site out and the coolest thing has to be the fact they have the prices listed. Porsches seem a lot more affordable then I thought they were. I thought the Boxster started at 16,000 but it actually starts at like 13,000 while I used to think the Cayenne started at 22,000 but it actually starts at like 14,500. [Link]
