Please, those are Gatling guns which are far better than machine guns because they offer a very high rate of fire without overheating if used constantly.

You'll be needing one of these:

Just get a white car with a "taxi" sign on the roof, then dress like an Indian . As long as you don't use indicators etc. you're sure to get away with it.

Anyone can be for a shade over a million quid (Bugatti Veyron is the most expensive new production car in the world), good oppertunity to clean behind the sofa...

That car was actually the prototype for the Veyron.

To me nothing screams penis envy like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. A Bentley is more of a gentlemans machine.

My preference however would be a nice Citroen DS 21 Décapotable Usine:

Wasn't the Volkswagen designed by the Nazis?

Well it was designed by Herr Porsche, who may have been a member of the party at some point.

Yeah, I just checked Wikpedia. Quote:

"In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a 'Volkswagen' (the name means 'people's car' in German), a basic vehicle that would be capable of transporting two adults and three children at a speed of 62 mph. The People's Car would only be made available to citizens of the Third Reich".

Blimey.

So you take his registration number.

You go to the police and report it.... the police say....

It is your fault, we can not do anything to the driver of the other car because even though he was driving the car the trailer could belong to anyone and the trailer caused the damage....

What we actually mean is the driver is a local and we arent bothered, here have a red ticket! G THANKS!

Another perk of living in Dubai!
Next time you should apologise to cars that hit you...Them's the rules...
