What about toyota camry and Honda Civic?

Not as exciting, but will last forever.

The Dutch will take off more just for fun.

Exchanging here isn't hard at all. There are 3 frigging within a 1 minute walk from my place.

Well looks like big brother will give you all a helping hand with your addiction very soon; Facebook next for the itisalot chop; http://www.arabianbusiness.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=495784:uae-bans-orkutcom&Itemid=0 IS it just me, or does anyone else think the TRA...

Yes.

Yes.

I guess BMW still haven't brought over the Mini One. They did say they will bring it over later.

Beware of the Mazda dealership in Dubai. Very incompetent people.

I carry a few hundred, sometimes bordering on a thousand. Good luck finding a place that accepts credit cards in Sharjah (besides the malls).

I don't no much about the gulf aspect of owning one, but I know the car itself is a lot of fun, they are also very reliable from my experience (there are a lot of them on the European roads). I had one in the UK for about two months (the Cooper S) when I first got in the car I thought 'what a horri...

Just one is more expensive than the other. Neither goes offroad. And engine specs tell you which is faster.

I only got one because MEBank's debit card does not work online. Now I use the credit card simply because I did pay an annual fee for it, and I collect miniscule MePoints for fun.

dxbsoul is right, you are supposed to finish off all loans before you leave the country (since there is the theoretical possibility that you will not return). Or they will catch you at the airport.

And Ian is from the Far East.

The RTA stop in Sharjah is at Rolla, near the "UAE Exchange" (which seems to be a landmark). Buses leave from opposite LuLu Karama, and I think Ghubaiba station and Deira Taxi Stand too? But from Sharjah, it only goes back to Ghubaiba.

^^ yeah theyre excellent at getting payments... but are the payments get credited to ur salik acct on real time? or do u still need to wait for 2 days?? How can anyone know anyway? Although I'd assume the money from MeBank goes directly into RTA's account. Petrol stations probably don't have a dire...

Why not? There is already a "FastTrack" at the airport for VIPs.

Hey, thanks for the info. Good prices, although it's when things go wrong that parts prices are high(?)

Does anyone know if there is a type of quick fit tyres and exhausts/brake pads etc company in the Barsha/Marina area and actually have parts for most type of cars in stock ? I went into the petrol station fast fit centre by the jumeria beach hotel and they have to order the parts from Al Futtain (j...

Fast track is for people who have paid and got themselves an e-card, great value for money, straight through and no lines.

Yes of course. Like Salik.

75% of people on this forum make 20k to 60k? Now we know what management does all day in their offices.

Oh this is just such a joke - I was on the site yesterday as I saw the article on the gulf news website discussing if it should be banned. A majority of the comments were no as most use it as a way of contacting friends or families. Etisalat and TRA are just backward buffoons - why not just block t...

"For a European"

HAHA, awesome wastaa. One month for attempted murder.

You are right on hiring people with the most qualifications, but the lady in question is a secretary. To make 19k a month, she'd need a PhD in secretarism or something.

Congratulations Dee Dee !! Does anyone have any idea as to what the cost of a used IS300 would be like? I know that they've only been out for around a year, do depreciation wont be that much I doubt you will find one a year old. Al Futtaim has been very lazy in shipping them, so most are a few mont...

Many government departments and many banks branches work even fewer hours, calling it quits by 2 pm.

isn't it probably because she is academically more qualified than you ? or you are simply not doing the job assigned to you in a proper official way that satisfy your firm? Yes you're right she is more qualified than me. I have masters while she has just scraped through basic college. You're again ...

You have two different systems here; Straight Shift - 09:00 - 17:30 Split Shift - 09:00 - 13:00 & 16:00 - 20:00 These times may vary slightly from Company to company Thank you very much for all the replays!! Well it is not a straight 09:00 to 18:00-Still...I have tried today after 16:00 and nob...

I feel like I have more rights in Dubai as an expat than in the country where I was born, and if I ever step out of line, I would rightfully expect to be told to leave. In fact, expats should be shouting locals drinks at the bar for being so accomodating. It's good that you enjoy your high-paying E...
