Doesn't matter, it's still not legal. And I don't know anywhere in Europe where it is either. If you have an accident, you're not insured. And as I said, this certainly is no safe way to transport children either. Just because it's not used on a main highway it makes no different, if you are still s...

Oh please, making out in the back row of the cinema is soooo over.

Chocoholic

Cool! So you Pimped Your Bike! Does it do the suspension jump down the road too?

Chocoholic

There's a chance with anything on the roads. But the point is, ANY vehicle used on a PUBLIC road, is required to be registered, licenced and insured. The kids you see whizzing around on their quad bikes and scooters are none of the above and are illegal and if they get caught, their vehicle is confi...

I like the Coupe version of the new Mustang, the convertable version not so much.

No I'm a girl, who happens to like cars.

Chocoholic

Children are in school at 3?!! And good lord it gets worse, you want to put a child that young on the back of a scooter?!

I'm at a loss for words.

Chocoholic

Hmm I had heard in the past that some insurance companies can make it a bit difficult, you might just want to search around a bit.

Chocoholic

I still prefer Dunkin' Doughnuts.

But my REAL love is Baskin Robbins - hmmmm mmmmm I love ice-cream.

Chocoholic

There's lots of flavours:

Twin Berry Cheese Cake
Prailins and Cream
Cookie Dough
Tiramisu
Chocolate Fudge Brownie

I could go on, but they're my favourites.

Chocoholic

Why? I'm just a bit of a girl racer at heart. I'm thinking a white Mustang Coupe with hot pink stripes over the roof and round the bottom of the body kit, with a few neons underneath, kicking sound system - hell ya. I'll give those boys a run for it. Plus I couldn't even afford to runa car like that...

Chocoholic

Racer on the track! I'm certainly not a speed demon on the main highways. But having a car with decent acceleration is useful to get you out of a sticky situation if necessary. It's all about knowing your car, knowing its capabilities, listening to the engine and knowing how to handle it. My driving...

Chocoholic

Personally I wouldn't go for anything too small, as it's very easy to get intimidated on the roads here. The Japanese cars are cheapest for parts and run very well and last forever. Mazda 3 and 6 are both good cars, Peugeot also good but parts and maintenance can be pricey. Nissan and Toyota very go...

Chocoholic

Well yes a medium sized car would be best. Too small and you're going to get pushed about and too big she might not be able to handle it. Having said that I see drivers here all the time in big cars with zero spacial awareness, they think they're driving tanks. Go for a test drive in a few and see h...

Chocoholic

Well I've been looking around and I can get a 2006 Mustang Coupe for between 85,000 - 90,000. I'd want to trade in my Pajero though.

Chocoholic

I have to ask though, does what s.e.x you are determine what car you buy? Are there really gender specific cars out there?

Chocoholic

I'd say the answer is no, otherwise everyone from every country would just get an international driving licence and no-one would ever have to bother taking the test again here. I guess it depends whether the International Driving licence in the country where it's issued, states that it can be used i...

Well I've been looking around and I can get a 2006 Mustang Coupe for between 85,000 - 90,000. I'd want to trade in my Pajero though. Be careful. Some are actually grey-import V6 models. Yeah I know, the new ones are V8 engines with 4.6 litres and 300 BHP. But to be honest a V6 is enough. There's no...

Chocoholic

The V6 I've seen is to GCC spec. Anyway taking it for a test drive later.

You don't need a V8 here. V6 is enough, afterall I'm still a girl

Chocoholic

Yeah but lets face it GCC spec really isn't upto much anyway is it.

My main question will be, that if there's an engine problem, how easy are parts to come across for the import car and warranty coverage.

And what would you recommend in that case?

Chocoholic

They're groovy little cars, I used to love driving them.

However, still need a licence, insurance etc etc etc.

Chocoholic

The thing is only a year old, with 25,000 Kms on the clock, so it's only going to have 2 or so services under it's belt. 1 female American owner. Oh don't worry I check everything, if I buy a car and they say they'll service it, I dip the oil and what not before I take it out the showroom, if it doe...

Chocoholic

For the life of me I don't understand how people can lose mobiles.

Chocoholic

Er yes both! Sorry but you can be a gorgeous as you like, but if you smell bad, keep the hell away from me!

There's never any excuse in this day and age for poor hygiene.

Chocoholic

Excellent - major villa party piss up then!

Chocoholic

A good laugh? Hell I think I've done most of those

Chocoholic

I used to collect Buffy/Angel and Pokemon cards - does that count?

Chocoholic

Well normally when applying for a visa, they do a mandatory police check to look for prior convictions, certainly that was the case with both my companies.

Chocoholic

Actually I would say you should not be as liberal as you would at home. Women should not go into a shopping mall dressed in what they just came from the beach in. For clubs/bars etc fine. But remember that you are in a muslim country and there are some areas and times of the year when you should dre...

Chocoholic

Oh come on that was hilarious! haha and trashing the garden and everything. I thought the comedy was great.

Chocoholic

Yeah I was soooooo annoyed at this, and yet they showed the whole thing in the cinema - how lame is that!
