Check this bad boy out, it’s not actually solid silver but it is polished Aluminum, finished in a clear protective lacquer. The car was put together for a Saudi Sheikh buyer by Roland Mayer and his team at mtm (Motoren Technik Mayer) tuning in Germany.

This particular design project is known as the Audi A8 D3 polished. Before applying the final, clear finishing coat the metal surface of the car had to be totally free of any marks or defects because retouching later was not possible.

Of course the plastic bits could not be polished, parts like front and rear bumpers, spoilers, exterior mirrors, side skirts and fuel tank cap. These parts were finished in a special enamel paint to match the polished metal surfaces before they too received a clear finishing coat.

A wealthy Arabian fella spent a record £3.5M on a single digit number plate which went on sale at an auction recently in the United Arab Emirates. The most ever paid in the World for a number plate.

image

The number plate “5” was bought for 25.2 million dirhams in Abu Dhabi, the oil-rich capital of the UAE.

Dubai-based businessman Talal Khouri placed the highest bid in the first auction of its kind in the UAE, with the proceeds going to charitable projects for people with special needs.

The price beat a previous world record set last July in Yorkshire, northern England, where the licence plate “M1” was knocked down for 331,500 pounds or $657,160.

Al Khoury also offered highest bids for two more numbers - number 55 for US$1.8M and number 45 for US$1.4M.

It’s officially THE most expensive MP3 player in the World today, the Lorsch 18 carat gold bad boy, adorned with 63 diamonds!

image

It’s got 1GB of space a stereo FM radio and integrated voice recorder. It also carries a price tag of around £10,000.

Why you would want this is beyond me, but with loads of Paris Hilton wannabes in the world today, no doubt it will prove nice gift idea for some lucky teenager (who’ll probably lose it anyway!)
