Small dunes are ok, but you cannot stop or you might not make it out. Even cars can do gravel. So what is the minimum specs for my requirements? Low-gear? XX litre? I'm totally noob with 4x4. If I knew about cars, I could have bought used but with better specs. You'll have to get a 4x4 with at leas...

For a recent graduate, very good offer around here. Although I don't know, but maybe you can do better in USA itself?

It is not 5% for all cars. Civics are at 4% or lower, Lumina SS is 6% to 10%. Also rates are higher if you are under 25, or choose a V6 or V8.

Since when is GITEX shopper good for deals? The dealers usually reflect their stall/show prices at their stores too. And the stuff isn't really cheaper. It is the normal depreciated price of electronic goods. Go back to stores next week and the "Deals" will still be there (since gadget pri...

I think there is a practical point behind this mysterious sand colour paint on most Saudi plated cars (especially Jeeps)... I think its some kind of anti- chipping protector...when they drive fast on the long barren desert roads towards the UAE, it protects the Glass of the Front Lights and the pai...

thanks

Any place that does cars should do it, dude. Whacha up to nowadays?

You are in trouble my friend. New rules dictate Dubai visa holders have to take lessons and get a Dubai license. Assuming you don't have a license from a Western country already, you are screwed if you stay in AD with a Dubai visa!

I don't think half the people here are non-Muslims. Maybe in the social circles you hang in.

Does anyone here know a place that paints bikes in Dubai? Not looking for something fancy... just one colour thanks :wink: Any place that does cars should do it, dude. Whacha up to nowadays? Hey Mash, hows things?? !! :D Still going, dude. I believe you can get away with not wearing a helmet around...

Heehee. Serves you right for using fish as your personal pleasure machines. Power to the fish!

I will track down the stores that I owe money to, thats for sure. I guess im freaked out by all these stories about innocent people going to jail over very minor things, in my opinion, that is no way to treat a honest law abiding citizen, people can easily lose confidence in a justice system like t...

Keith'll do anything for the cheekitas.

Is that really what it's marketed as?

P.S. Intercoolers are part of some turbo engines only

So you'll be making LESS in Dubai with MUCH higher expenses here.

Dubai is bad for new cars. I figured that out years ago. Have you tried talking to "professional" detailing companies like ProShine?

Well, you will still have higher expenses all round. You will save less. And coming from Saudi, a lot of things go on here, in terms of clothing and hotel bars, that you might find offensive, if you are of that mindset. But its easy to live with that by ignoring it. Traffic is a biznatch too.

Cos its built cheap.

MJ wrote:so, in another word, crap?:)

I dunno. It's just built cheap. It oozes cheapness.

Dang! This place is a haven for scam artists to operate "legitimately."

Hehe, that use of this mudpaint actually makes sense.

Expensive, unless you're offering furniture too.

No, they only mine pistachios.

Karachi Darbar serves from hours before.

As others have said, they can't do anything to you. You were here on a visit visa, and...

Carpentry here is a low-dollar profession. He won't make much here.

I get the feeling you own shares in the company.
