Google Earth photos are outdated by at least a few years

I'm surprised they don't just ban the damn things. Cheap labour I guess. And gotta keep the white man happy, hehe. Somewhat.

p/s Google Earth is probably a lil outdated but not 3-4 years. Dont they update from the satelite regularly or how does it work?! As others have said, it's just aerial photos, not satellite. You can actually see the lines where the photos are joined. International City is shown half-barren and half...

I have been hearing buzz for the last few weeks that prices for fuel will go up to AED 11.00 a gallon! This is in addition to all the price hikes that we have had in everything from food stuff to luxury items in the last few months. So lets hear it, what is everyone doing to cope with this dramatic...

I get the feeling you roam the seediest parts of Dubai, outside bars or something. I've never seen local guys blatantly harrassing local women in my 25 years here. There is the occassional case in the papers, but it is not as rampant as you make it seem. So what have you been doing for the last 25 ...

Having a name is useful as well. Is he just in charge of Salik, or RTA on the whole?

He must be only a grunt, considering his photo never gets printed whenever RTA pats itself on the back.

Hi! Today the new statistics from the German automobile club were published, they publish statistics on breakdowns and other technical problems every year. For many years japanese cars were on top, as they used to be the most reliable cars. Two or three years back things changed and this was even m...

Every local rag has specifically mentioned that the S5 will not come here.

A dude on another forum said he sent an email about mods to the RTA in Dubai. They said ANY mod is illegal, even stickers. It is more feasible for you to find out what and what not you can get away with.

This will eventually force all these low paid workers to think about other ways of earning extra money to keep ends meet..... hmmm...maybe, although I doubt whether there is a direct relation between inflation and crime. You will be absolutely amazed how "creative" people can get in order...

I couldn't believe at first that the supposedly most progressive city in the Middle East will be entirely shut down for Bush. He will then say tomorrow how amazingly traffic-free Dubai is.

ah amsterdam the sin city.. i souldnt have bought those.. eh dubai is so restrictive.. how do people live there?? jeez no p<3n, no love, they restrict media, etc.. but its a nice place i dont know if i can live without p<3n :( Actually, all your favourite things are available here in huge doses.

'Her indoors' has been told by her employer that she 'must try to make an effort and get to work tomorrow'! This is in Internet City...and we live in Jumeirah 1. Any suggestions (forget the helicopter option!) as to how she is supposed to get there? Incidentally...she doesn't drive yet! :shock: :sh...

Yes, very believable. A German report praising German cars. :roll: I knew someone would say this, but believe it or not.. the German automobile club ('ADAC') is considered to be neutral. And as I said, for decades japanese manufacturers were on top of the list... but not any more. BS Our friend is ...

She dont need bars for the real deal.

I have black leather. No big deal except for the first 1 minute. Even better if you get branded tint.

www.evolve.ae lots of bolt on parts available....... You should eventually list all the parts (with prices) you have available on your official website. I keep putting off a trip to your garage/shop for fear of not finding what I think I might want, since it is a bit out of the way. Or that it will...

trafficlinq wrote:How much this 3M costs? The honda people told dhs 450. they told it doesnt resist heat and only Vcool does(dhs 1100 to 1500). is it?

For 450 bucks, it better be resisting something. 3M costs 700+ outside.

Dubai is fast-paced? Hehehehehe...

I think 1995 had far more than this, I remember Al Wahda St. in Sharjah with around 1.3m of water and it stayed around for months. Also same year a hail storm that dumped about 10cm in about 10 minutes. It seemed more because the drainage system back then was worse than it is now. There was a time ...

The lake outside my house looks quite clear. What might be a problem are the cockroaches. We had to lift all the drain covers yesterday in an attempt to relieve the flood level and the manholes were absolutely full of swimming cockroaches, some of them huge! I did see one with a mask and snorkel......

Stop moaning for goodness, sake, wash and iron you own damn shirts, really it's not that hard, and actually quite theraputic. For once, I agree with her (although not 10% on the therapeutic part).

Hehe. I get the feeling this post is a very creative way to get you people to click on that link. And y'all fell for it. Maybe Michelle will even carry on the conversation to keep the charade on.

I don't think I've seen many yellow mustangs. If you expand your search to other colours, there are tons of these cars around. Try souq.com, autodealer.ae and gnads4u.com also.

So with all those new islands crammed in, all those rich people will have neighbours who can spy on each other with binoculars? Like at the cramped Marina?
