Hi all. First off I just wondered if anyone knows what its like owning a VW in Duabi? ie - Are they reliable enough in this climate etc? I know they dont hold their value quite as well as back in the UK but they're still great cars and they seem to make great second hand bargains over here! The ques...

what is the purpose of device ? Does it make someone laugh ? :roll: We dont use "Made in Israel products" in UAE? :roll: Used in the right way, yes it could quite easily make you laugh! ...... but that's certainly not its main purpose! Lol I doubt very much that you'd find any dildos with...

Haha, yeah I guess you could say that! ......depends how big it is!

I would say its a definite necessity! Everything is very spread out in Dubai and because of all the construction you cant really walk anywhere (no paths!). Unless you want a very old one you wont find a 330/M3 for 30k, more like 110k+ for a decent M3 that's a few years old. Saying that, cars are ver...

OMG, they have to produce that car! It looks amazing!!

I'll have to go test drive both and make my mind up then.

Fayz......what would you spend your money on instead? Similar price, spec etc.

thanks guys. also any rough idea of what insurance and fuel costs will run me per month for a 330 (assume i get one within 110000 AED). also, if i have an indian drivers license as well as an international driving permit (issued from india) and i have an indian passport, how long will it take me to...

Does anyone know if they have banned the above game in the UAE??

All the stores use to have it and now Im after it, no where has it! I was told by a friend at work it has been banned but wasnt sure?!

Im a QS but not a senior/manager like yourself just yet! Most of the guys I work with in your position earn around AED 35-45,000 per month, which is their total package. Of that you would get a car allowance of around 3,000 and a housing allwance of about 10,000 so that would leave you with 22-32,00...

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a gas cylinder supplier that delivers to JBR? Im really struggling to get one. It seems they dont want you to have gas in JBR!

gezza wrote:you arent allowed gas in jbr mate.
Thats why we all have electric cookers

Bugger, already bought one with a gas hob because the agency that found me the apartment said I could!

gezza wrote:Just take it back mate.
cooking on leccy is great eh!

Wish I could but Ive had it a good 4 weeks!

Tell me about it. Thats why I wanted gas.

You think I might be able to get a bottle delivered to work and sneek it in?

No fella, to your relief I am not in Murjan!

Ive got plenty of cupboard space around the cooker so thats not a problem. I just dont get it, you can use gas in other towers!

Having a car that's black with black leather interior in Dubai...................ok or a very bad and sweaty idea?!!

Hyundai, not cool.

Im afraid its not a Ferrari..........but its a bit nicer than a Hyundai

is that a leeds badge as your avatar?? :oops: It sure is!! .....and Im proud of it too. I spent 24 years growing up ten minutes away from the ground so I cant really support anybody else! Im a big believer in supporting the team where you're from. Besides........we're doing great at the mo! Could b...

I went for electric oven and gas hob, think thats the best combo.

I'll let you know how I resolve this then Fayz. Im sure I could just sneak a cylinder in!

Does anyone know where I can go to play soccer regularly. Maybe join a club. A guy at work I know joined an 11 a side club really easily. He wasnt a great player back in the UK but he's much better here because of the standard! He plays in a serious league match at least once a week, travels all ov...

Hi. Does anyone own a jet ski on here? I was thinking about buying one and read that a new law has just been passed saying that you have to register them (yet another stealth tax to pay!!). The law also states that jet skis are banned from use in certain places, but the news articles dont say where?...

sharfraz wrote:have you checked with the shops for the new laws about owning a jet ski?

Good idea, I havent up until now! Im buying one second hand so it hadnt crossed my mind. Just wondered if anyone on here knew.

Nice to see another Mighty Whites supporter in Dubai. Nice one yorky500, are you a Mighty Whites fan too? There's a Dubai Whites supporters club you know? We're an official LUFC branch. There's a BBQ next week that about 40 whites fans are attending if you want the info for it? Jet Ski's are a mena...

I found something saying its AED500 to register one through RTA Marine and it lasts for two years.

No mention of the new fines they have dreamt up or where you cant jet ski though.

It sure is a fire breathing monster..... 600bhp., is that availabe here? I should hit liberty automobiles and check with them.... The highest powered Lumina they sell here is called the CR8. Its also a bit of a beast. 400hp, 550Nm of torque and 0-100 in about 4.9s! Its a bit on the expensive side t...
