Hi guys, I need some advice and help please...

Can I bring my car & two bikes over to Dubai and retain my UK plates and if so do I need to pay any tax, etc...?

What is the best option for me to use my vehicles in Dubai?

Thanks for any help...

Hi guys, any recommendations on a removal firm that can deal with all the usual household stuff as well as two motorbikes and possibly a car?

I know I can't register a rhd vehicle but surely therre'snothing to prevent me keeping UK plates and using it?

So basically you can't come into the country in a foreign (well European) car?

I'm not sure how long I'll be staying and might only be there for a year or less...

Thanks for that, I rode in India for three years in the chaos that is the roads system there, so I'll hopefully cope with it. In any case it'll be more in leisure time (mostly off road) that I'll use the bikes. I have a BMW GS1200 and a Husqvarna TE610E..pics below: http://www.midnightphotos.co.uk/u...

Been given a quote of approx £3.5k for door to door service, moving contents of a 3 bedroom house + two motorbikes - does this seem about right or too expensive?

No they haven't quoted by kg, using a 20ft container I think and also crating up the two bikes. The car looks like a no go as the rhd will be a problem...I'd like to bring it over thouh.

Keith, going from his original question that's not what his intent is.

Given that Dubai won't let you register a RHD vehicle, I thought I'd ask the question, there might be some way that I can use my vehicle there.

Given that Dubai won't let you register a RHD vehicle, I thought I'd ask the question, there might be some way that I can use my vehicle there. That part I understand, but I really struggle with the logic of retaining your plates for use here. The fact is that I intend to use the car there for a 12...

will need to leave the car here as I ain't selling it... oh well will buy another in Dubai I guess. I will be bringing my two motorbikes and hopefully there shouldn't be any issues with them.

But your bikes are right-hand-drive, right? Bikes are neither right or left....there are never any problems...

Looks like I'll be bringing my bikes with me... Anyone know of any trail riding clubs?

Okay sounds good... :) Some more pics from my tour across Europe this year...

Pipe & Slippers compulsory.... Just kidding...!

Well I've got a TT 3.2 DSG but I'm still in the Uk at the moment and as my car is RHD, I won't be bringing it over...

Well our Home Secretary this week had a meeting with 'Muslim Community Leaders' to tell them that they should keep an eye on their kids for any suspicious behaviour that might lead to them becoming 'radicalised'. So despite saying that all Muslims in the UK were not being tarred with the Terrorist b...

One thing that most folk seem to be missing is that the US & UK went in on a supposed high moral ground to stop the torture and killings, yet have proven themselves to be just as bad, if not worse.

No it's not as simple as that, you have the larger community already suspicious of the Muslims and this is making it even worse.

I'll need to find out more about registering it in the UAE, I asked on the forum before and everyone said no way...

The DGS box is in the R32 and the 3.2 TT. Mine has a forced induction kit, sports exhaust and is tuned to put out 305 BHP.

Have young Christian, Jewish or Hindu Britains been blowing up any subway cars and double deckers lately? 17 young Canadian Muslims have also been arrested under suspicion of plotting bombings on Toronto and Ottawa. What is wrong with speaking to the people who are most at risk for turning to extre...

What good does blaming the coaltion do now? What does it really accomplish towards making Iraq a secure and thriving country? What it accomplishes is to see that they DO NOT repeat the same acts, for instance in...Iran or elsewhere. The point is that the US & UK went into Iraq on faked intentio...

And what do you suggest is the alternative? Turning a blind eye and let youngsters become brainwashed into committing horrible acts by fanatics, preaching nothing but hatred? It's because the muslim community is not taking responsibility for these things, that this kind of action is taking palce in...

I never said anything in my posts about those countries doing the Iraqis or the world a favour by ousting Saddam. That is your assumption. No you implicitly implied it by saying the following: Maybe they should let Saddam loose and set him back up to rule again. If the Iraqi's don't like the coalit...

Mr Enoch Powell was correct The U.K is a "CHRISTIAN"country and are very tolerant to other religions (they are even allowed to build places to worship some thing they would not be allowed to do in other parts of the world)they should remember that they are aliens in the U.K If they want t...
