Be careful about warranties on used cars. While some might genuinely offer a warranty, like Al Futtaim Automall, Al Tayer, etc, others advertise a "remaining" warranty, which in reality they mean the official dealer "might" fix problems on "goodwill," since not all car...

ta for the advice. not looking for anything fancy, just a decent 2 ltr european or japanese saloon (peugeout, mazda etc).... the only thing mechanical i know about cars is where to put the petrol, so id rather not buy privately. would prefer to buy with a warranty If you are buying a car that is 20...

+1 on that CA, however, I think we might be in for a bit of a shoick on Sunday. My guess it is mainly due to people still being away on holiday and so forth.

My drive from AUH to home is a breeze, even arounf Trade Centre/Defense ra. Long may this continue, but alas, I think not.

Pretty staggering if you grouped them accroding to Continents.

What!! do camera's in UAE 'outer roads' only sparkle from 160km/h and above? Thats nice. Here in Holland we got to many of them all going around 50 or 80 km/h. On the highway, you may clap your hands with max. 120-130 before the camera flashes your azz. 160 is allowed? 160 (or for some 159) km/h is...

Evolve has some wideband 02 kits in recently, not sure if they have any left. 04 - 3408869

Interaco in Shj sometimes have them as well - 06 5395535

Or, if you want, you can order the whole kit from Innovate in the USA.

Forgive my ramblings above, I was thinking of something else, but try the above numbers anyways, they may be able to help.

Just curious, I found many Asian women hooked up (or eventually getting married) with white men. ... I'm referring Asian here as South East Asian (Indonesian, Filipino, Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, etc) and East Asians (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc). When I initially came across this and for a l...

Just a question guys. It's starkly obvious that two or three members of this website just post anti-emarati news articles, anything they can find about the emarites economy or society. It's done in a purely inflammatory way. All other forum members (of many nationalities, I can see) exist in reason...

I for one do not understand this concept of "views of the sea" especially in the Middle east when one has such stunning deserts and surrounds. Why pay all that money reclaiming land (and it does cost a shed load, I have worked on lots of reclamation projects) when you have such stunning sc...

I saw a cop the other day driving casually in the truck lane doing 80. There were half a dozen trucks behind him not daring to pass, and probably swearing all kinds of things because they couldn't drive as fast as they normally do. You may not know this, but trucks on the AUH motorway are NOT allow...

The scariest things are when you come up behind a Tiida/Yaris doing over 160/180 km/h, these things are all over the show on damn skinny tyres.

and vise versa, when you get overtaken by a Tiida or Yaris doing over 160/180

Agreed, its about time something like this happened. Nothing brings it home more than a bit of humiliation/loss of face in front of your countrymen.

I would URGE people not to "tap" their brakes when they have somebody tailgating them, not only is it stupid, it is also dangerous. The best thing to do is to just indicate and move over at the first possible moment. Lets not forget that the far left lane is not a lane to dawdle in, it is ...

I am not lauding tailgaters, but trying to look at the consequences of doing what some have described as the appropriate action to take. Yes, I do speed (but not fined as I do not exceed the "allowable limit") :wink: , yes I do get angry when people don't move over and they are doing 100 (...

There was carnage in and around Ghantoot this AM.
