With a face like that, she should be arrested for indecent exposure regardless of whether she had sex or not. Seriously though, Yes, I've done a lot worse, and I do feel sorry for her, but If you get caught, you cop the punishment without complaining. The UAE gov are right to draw the line before th...

So what you are saying is that it is illegal to import a right hand drive car into the UAE, convert it, and then try and register it?

On another note gt,
Would you reccomend that I get rid of any cars older then 10-20 years by the end of this year or should I keep them?

My 2 cents on the issue: 1) With most and both parents working late, kids ar enormally on their own. And you know very well what kids on their own are upto.
