Hey, I'm moving to Dubai soon (most likely in a few weeks) and sorta have a few questions if anyone's interested in answering (thanks for which are given in advance!) and clarifying. 8) Just to introduce myself a bit, though: I'm moving in from India, but have been a Singapore citizen since birth (...

Good for the odd Can of beer, not worth driving to Ajman for that.

I never had any cats at home, but I always keep a few sachets of Cat food in my car...I feed the odd Stray!

So I guess no one can help with the Laptop Ram thing.

Dont worry, When I find out I will let you all know, where I got the Ram from and the price. I just want to get some cash back for the current 512 chips in the laptop....

I played Eve Online, very briefly, during a free trial period. I enjoyed it, but at the time, I couldn't see myself putting in the hours to level up...hence I am not a fan of MMORPGS...more into the quick shooters. Still, I was impressed with EVE online. With regards to the Charged magazine, I cant ...

I drive a Mazda 6 2005. to answer in point form: -The market price for a good condition 2005 model (with dealer warranty and FSH) is about 42,000 dhs. - Majority of cheaper mazda 6 have no dealer service history and no warranty (perhaps no log books either). -A lot of Mazdas are sold (new + fleet) w...

you should be getting at least 300 km from 50 dhs of 'special' [normal petrol]. (based on driving style, traffic, A/C, etc).

Anything less, then you need to service it.

Check:

- Your Air intake filter
- Your hoses
- Your Oil.

V-Man

welcome. Tbh, I would definately buy Mazda 6 again. It gives me a sporty compact sedan, with a decent boot size and space for 3 adults at the back. But, unfortunately I wouldn't buy a Mazda (again) in Dubai, until Galadari sorts itself out, OR you know where to get cheap parts and servicing. If you ...

Damn Admin powers!

what ever you do, DONT get worked up or upset...you will lose instantly.

Go to your Emirates Bank Branch and Speak to the manager...

V-Man

to add to your points 3. Buy Comprehensive insurance 4. Drive safely and slowly. 5. At the time of an accident, find an Arabic speaking person, and get them to explain the situation to the Police man over the phone... If you are really desperate, go the Police Traffic Dept and speak to someone there.

theres this one:

The 2.0 Litre is slightly underpowered, but when you push it, after about 4,500 revs, it can give enough 'umph to overtake... I cant really give you an opinion on road noise, since I drive a 'used' mazda 6. Mine certainly does have some road noise, but nothing that a nice tune wont fix! (besides whe...

Wow...looks great.

Any ideas on a release date?

V-Man

Careful Gtmash...I think you stepped on a few cats tails!

V-Man

what about International city...

V-Man

I too am looking for a reasonable place to do my tracking/alignment and balancing.

Try this place: As you enter Karama from the Trade center road, take a right at city corner supermarket (or madinat supermarket..)...

On your left, you will see a small tyre shop. They seem to be good.

V-Man

how good does eve online run on the internet connection here? Any lag issues?

V-Man

@ Bear: Well I am looking to get into it a bit more, IF i have the time.
@ Singh: I would presume anything Gaming related would also feature in the High tech forums.. (someone correct me if I am wrong).

V-Man

the thing is, out of all the strategy games made, the old formula of starcraft (and red alert) was actually better than the likes of Generals, in terms of pure game play.

If they can encapsulate the experience of starcraft and have more eye candy, then it should be a winning formula!

V-Man

Looks like a nice car and nice price. Shame about the colour though.
And what about part cost/availability and Servicing?

V-Man

Buy some STREPSILS

V-Man

It just may hit 54 degrees between July/August... watch out!

good thing is I have my escape plan all ready for then!
