Greetings from Dubai Nov 04, 2004
Hello all you people.

Well, have arrived safely. Flew in on Sunday night (Tuesday for you all). Damn, this Ramadam is hard to get used to and with the passing away of the King, has really thrown me. Can't drink or smoke in public, can't eat in public. But I have to obey the local customs, so I am getting by.

An expat and his wife took me around Dubai yesterday. They showed me all the local shopping centres, Souks and intersteing places to visit. Man, is this place growing or what. There is sooooooooooo much work going on. I am looking forward to this weekend to get around a bit more. Have no internet connection in the serviced apartment, so having to visit cyber cafes to log on, so sorry for not getting on here sooner. I am work currently, which is a half day, well, not at Ramadam, so I have been told.

Unfortunately, with the passing away of the King, a lot of the shops are closed as well as being Ramadam, so, not much to see and do. Plus with being on HK time, by 9PM, me is fooked and ready for sleep! hahahahahahaha

Anyway, it's good to be here. It looks a great place to be. Looking forward to getting a car in near future, as the roads look awesome and smooth and WIDE!

There are some stunning women here, and I am not talking about the Russians either.

I am desparate to get hooked up by mobile, but it is proving difficult. went to City centre shopping mall the other night, but only to find out that NOT 1 shop had a sim card available! WTF is going on. Are these on a quota system of something? And yes, I tried all the shops. One shop (Axom) told me they had just sold there last one!

Anyway, back to work. Hope to be able to speak and meet some of you guys soon.

Cheers

Sorry matey, don't have a car to get around yet.

Bloody frustrating, i lost my "rag" with the salesman a few times, as I kept getting moved from shop to shop. when i was told, "we have just sold our last one", that was enough for me. Shame, poor sod!

you can not get a sim card from a store you need to go to the telecomunications department known as etisalat and apply there pay about 120 and pick ur number and receive the card on the spot.

650bhp. What ya selling, a bloody F1 car?

It's tempting, but to be honest, a little out of my price range, and I don't have the capital put together yet, so I need to wait a while. Sorry, but really tempting.

Fake is 19, WTF.

I am old enough to be ya dad dude! hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Jamal, I will give ya a holla dude when I have me shit together. Bit early yet, but you serious that you have 650bhp from a 2.0l turbo scooby? man, that is some mods you have done. I just cannot see how the hell you get the engine to hold together.

Have heard of a nice Evo Vii going. Not many km, very low in fact, 2002, blue colour. Slightly modded to about 320bhp. Now thats about it for me. otherwise I am going the old mans route and going Z4. Hahahahahahahahaha

Then again, knowing me, I will end up with a 1.3L Nissan Sunny.

Jamal, you going in for ICE sound-offs? There's a ICE shop below where I am staying. Run by filipino's. They got a very nice Lumina SS, thats got more subs, twets and amps flying around that there are seats in da car. Have not heard it yet, but gonna wait for the to finish it, and then get them to take me for a spin in it.

well its not a 2.0 litter engine its 3.2

when u call me ill take u the place show u how its done

well right now i got a mazada 323 well its my spare car ive been having it for a while
i just went an got it a pare of 18inch rims and its gone to sound on wheels

its gonna be hooked up with 4 speakers in the back plus two 15inch sub woofers and two speakers on the rear door and 2 other speakers on the front door plus four tweeters and two cross overs controlling the speakers an two capacitors to help the voltage an battery an shit i guess an three amplifier two system amplifiers contrloing the six speakers an one mono amp controling the subs and ive put a 10inch kenwood dvd/mp3/wma/vcd/navigation display in the front an two 7 inch monitors in the back and since everyone puts a playstation in the car im puttin a xbox in mine.... well thats half of it ill put some pictures when its done and after they finish we gonna figure out how i can take the back seat out and fit 3 more 15 inch woofers with amps controlling each one of the subs

belive when its done this car will cause quakes

and yeah the entire sound system will be ROCFORD FOSGATE even though sound on wheels only deal with earthquake i had to beg them to put this cause rockfords are the best well im a rocford fan but some would says JLaudio is better guess it comes 2nd

All depends if ya going for SQ or just for SPL. I would seriously suggest you look at getting another alternator for ya motor. Thats a lot of juice ya need to generate to get thaose mothers cooking. Plus you may need a few extra batteries slipped in somewhere. Oh yes, you gonna uprate the suspension, cos that shit you got in there ian't gonna be light. Your rear is gonna be ditting well low.

Me, I am a Genesis man for amps, and totally overawed with Focal speakers.
