There are many more clearer photos (including those in the parking lot before the Ferraris went out on the Gulf Road Cruise) on Mishref's Camera... Hope he can upload them here too

Also, there is a part of the population in the middle east who are poor but that doesn't seem to show up in the news anywhere. I see peple begging around trafficlights and in parking lots daily and some go to the extent of cutting off their own arms to seem more needy. It's not that wedon't have an underprivelaged population, it's just that all what is sent on the media is either our rich businessmen and royalty or conflicts within our countries. If people want to see what the gulf islike they should witness it first-haand and realize that we to have differant levels in our economies and we too have people who are needy and who end up begging on streets.
To add to this, some car owners are deeply in debt and are financing their cars (This causes a great financial burdun upon them). Whether they do this purely as a front or truly to experience exotic cars is beyond me, but to each his own and all hopes go out to their financial wellness.

i was just telling meanmachine about that red 355 earlier today.
i now feel a bit guilty for not attending and bumping the 355 count, would've been nice to go head to head with another mint-condition GTS F1!
but anyway, 4Thirty (or anyone in Kuwait for that matter), if you can put me in touch with the owner of that 355 i will be very grateful. please PM if you have any leads.
sure, i do like other Ferraris but if i were to have TWO, my choice would definitely be two 355s .. can't explain it.
if you guys in the Kuwait crew can get me a quote on asking price, that would be awesome

I am currently editing my pictures; should be online soon.
There were barely any classics on the road.. the 355-GTS picture was taken inside the Center. I am sure Zayani would know exactley who owns it; or themselves possibly.. its truly mint.
