Lincoln Navigator or Range Rover ?????

I have about 65k dhr to spend and am looking at either a Lincoln Navigator or Range Rover.

Does anyone have experience of how these 2 differ out there and what age car I would get for that kind of cash?

I'm not interested in resale value - just the most car I can get!

3/4 bed house with communal pool - how much rent to pay?

I have 2 kids and need a family home to rent, max 30 mins from Nad Al Sheba area, safe, off main road and with a communal pool.

Need a house rather than apartment and unfurnished.

Any idea where I could get something like that for a decent not mad expensive price???

anyone got any experience of how easy it is? Do many villas have fenced in yards for them?

errrr - NO!

not unless you plan to homeschool and eat lettuce!
