Which is your favourite supercar?
Sheikh Khalifa Al Nayan was dressed in his full regalia; a black gown and headscarf over a standard white kandura with gold trim all around. The man struck an imposing figure as he strode into the room. Whilst Khalifa was not a patch on his late father he was still an attractive and powerful man.
Which is your favorite supercar?
“Which is your favourite supercar?” he asked me completely out of the blue. I was taken a-back and had to consider the motivation behind his question. It was obvious that he picked up my pause and the reason for it. He laughed boomingly and clapped me on the shoulder. “My friend, do not worry! I only ask because I am interested. You are not being trapped.” 
“I find it hard to pick a supercar to be honest. It depends upon where I am.”
“What supercar would you think is best for the UAE?”
It was my turn to laugh now.
“My friend that is a broad question. What suits Dubai would not suit Al Ain. In Abu Dhabi it would depend if I was on or off island.”
He nodded sagely at me.
“Indulge me, please. Let me say you wished to attract a young lady.”
“Are you in the market for another wife, Your Highness?”
“I am always in the market but it depends upon it being the right woman. You were right to suggest My-Sugar-Daddy the selection is fantastic.”
“It has worked for me. So you wish to impress a date? Where will you go?”
“Why don’t we suppose that the Police could close the road from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and clear me a route to my tower?” He winked in a way that told me the hypothetical was already sorted.
“In which case traffic is not a concern. You want to thrill the young lady with your supercar, don’t you?” He nodded. “What about the new Koeniggsegg?”
“I want a supercar I can spell, my friend” He laughed again. “Plus I wish to thrill her not terrify her.”
I had to think. I’m an oilman not an expert in the supercar field.
My favourite supercar!
“Look… I know that it is a much older supercar but it still performs better than many new ones… I have a real soft spot for the Jaguar XJ220.”
“You wish to tame the monster! Next birthday that will be yours but it will not do for this.” I inwardly hoped that he would remember my birthday present but if I simply got another helicopter it would be fine.
“I know! The Lamborghini Huracan. Gorgeous.”
“I have three! I want som
ething new.”
“Ferrari F12 Berlinetta?” I was clutching at straws.
“My friend that is a true supercar but not one for impressing a lady, I think.”
Supercar to impress a lady!
“If you really want to impress I suppose you could try to pick up an early 1960s Ferrari 250GTO. Those things go for tens of millions though.”
“35 million dollars, I believe. Yes. And gorgeous to boot! You have done it.”
