Speed kills.

Just come and see. There are ways around everything. Living here is a risk in every way, be it property or driving, but the rewards are there if you make it work.

Definitely has some past experience, but I just wanted to know if there are any courses being offered in Dubai?

Cheers!

If there are, no one's heard of them.

Today i tried Nissan Pathfinder 2004 model. Its wonderful 4x4. Anyone have idea about its spare parts and maintinance cost, What you suggest about 2003 or 2003 model. Please pass your reviews since im searching for it. Cheers '03 and '04 are same. Reliable, but remember to try the back seat. Even a...

Jailbait

Make her buy a small car. Buying a big car just to act tough is pure bull. I've been driving a compact since I got my license. A new driver in a big 4x4 is the most dangerous thing on the road. A Camry-sized car doesn't help either, since they are even longer than 4x4s. But avoid stuff as small as t...

agentx wrote:Is this problem of lack of space for back seats is with all 2003-04 Pathfinder models or some specific model?

All. The back is cramped for a 4x4.

Well, either way, the guy's career in any Western country is ruined. He's back in India now, getting job offers for probably pathetic rates. At least Australia is a fair country where he can sue instead of "putting up or shutting up" like in some other places of this world.

Be careful. Some are actually grey-import V6 models.

^^ to tell you the truth there are some cars that only women drive, you can say its a "women's car". Im afraid of mentioning some coz i know im gonna get flamed for it :( :lol: :lol: At the lowest price ranges, there are no "guy" or "girl" cars. It's only about what yo...

Yeah I know, the new ones are V8 engines with 4.6 litres and 300 BHP. But to be honest a V6 is enough. There's no...

It's an all-round piece of &^$$#@%.

Smart is not officially sold here.

Chocoholic wrote:The V6 I've seen is to GCC spec. Anyway taking it for a test drive later.

You don't need a V8 here. V6 is enough, afterall I'm still a girl

If you choose to believe the used car salesman over the guy who has direct contact with Ford HQ (namely me), then I guess you found a GCC spec V6.

2 in 8 months.. :( I felt like trashing me.... like i said.. wasnt drunk or anything.. both times.. i've the same reason.. I was wearing my not much used trousers.. There's alot to be said for the 'male' handbag! All the rage here! Ask Mr AG, I'm sure he will be able to give advice, on the trendy s...

I'm also turning out to be a comfortable person.. as they say.. the one who makes the same mistake ...

buy a honda civic

Heck, I rented a car when my car was down, because the taxi drivers are *%^(*%^*

I am an expat. I go to government hospitals and the Iranian Hospital (run by Red Crescent). Has worked out fine for me since I was born. Cheap as heck, and a family member had a stone-removal operation for free (back then) too. Can't comment on your specific case though.

International City is the cheapest one already built. But you missed the boat if you want a 1-bd between 300k and 400k. My studio itself is now worth almost 350k. Next cheapest is Lagoons. But they are so pathetic they haven't started building yet, and already months behind. Changed developers too. ...

Pray the construction does not drag on even longer due to funding issues.

Yes on both counts easily. Don't listen to the Europeans who will answer "impossible."

Hi nuzbim You stay at JBR.. i did google on JBR.. found pretty interesting videos as well.. Is it possible to get a 2 BHK for 100K in JBR.. Also how much will be a 1 BHK in JBR? i guess its pretty close to Dubai media city where i'd work,... Any inputs will be highly appreciated.. cheers! Expect on...

I think they changed their name now.

We just go to the nearest one. What's the big deal?

come on gt, what is this about?

No, I just didn't want him to get the wrong impression. People in the other post said food for Dhs 1000 a month is impossible.

A husband can sponsor his wife if he has a basic salary of 3000+1000 for housing....

...or Dhs 4000 without housing allowance.

If you go by Dubai-Sharjah road (Garhoud bridge towards Sharjah), off course it'll be nightmare. But since you'll work in Festival City, you'll be taking the other road (Rashidiya) or a tunnel (?) south of the airport. As in Ghusais itself, there's not much traffic as it's a new developed area (at ...

To extract a tooth took 50 aed, for a friends root canal 750 Aed, and pretty efficient doc.

I would've extracted your tooth for Dhs 45.
