So I get into this fight today with a lebanese driver. Abu dhabi registration 54508. Green honda Civic! The guy is driving blindly full speed into a road where I have right of way. I blow the horn to get his attention and screech to a stop. The guy has the audacity to get out of his car and start v...

This doesnt exactly fall into this black list category, but anyways...... So tell me this - After the recent articles in the paper about the police claiming to clamp down on drunk drivers, isnt it easier for the police to just stand outside places like Hard rock cafe and arrest each guy who starts ...

Sorry for saying that your mom seems a bit ignorant! She should have called the police herself and sued this f…king blackmailer! Let me tell you my story: One a bloody f…ker hit my car twice in S-D road and claimed that it is me who s done that. The police strangely were appreciating his claim and ...

You bought that 2007 from Arabian Automobiles? Because they haven't announced the new model yet. Although if you did buy it from the official dealer, they would've registered it for you.

Someone on here must know where to go!

Ford won't fit it for you.

any idea why the GS300 is only 229bhp in UAE http://www.lexusuae.com/ the same car is 245bhp in N.America usually cars have slightly more bhp in UAE cause of the less strict norms of pollution control (as the case in the G35 UAE vs G35 US. ) also is the GS350 going to be launched in UAE anytime soo...

I just realized the guy is BSing. That is a prototype test vehicle. The new G is known to be around Dubai for hot weather tests. The logo is covered because the car is not officially released here yet. And see that beautiful tow hook sticking out of the front? Have any of you ever had your new car d...

that was some really usefull info gtmash. i dont think its a typo cause same is printed in 2 places and also lower bhp for the gs430 too. so it cud be an older engine (but im sure the older gs300 had only 220bhp) very strange. guess once i get there i'l goto the dealership to chk it out. any idea w...

And see that beautiful tow hook sticking out of the front? Have any of you ever had your new car delivered to you with a tow hook in the front, covered up badge and no plates? lol i was wondering the same thing. but yeah when is the new G35 comin out in UAE? I don't know yet. End of the year maybe,...

I heard all their employees are forced to take the public bus to their 1-bedroom flat/office where the boss sleeps.

Price = cheap for a Japanese car
Parts = expensive for a Japanese car

* Rear Bumper is a bit long making it tricky to park compared to a civic *Rear parking sensors can help out What? Land Cruiser? *the smaller engine is better nowadays with the increasing and unstable petrol prices !! The Civic 1.8 has better fuel economy than the Mazda 1.6, according to company num...

hey dude dats pure rubbish info. 6.8L/100 KM civic comes with a 50L tank 50/6.8 = 7.36 7.36 * 100 = 736 736KM per full tank.... my god... cant believe 7.2 for mazda is also wrong... Please. That is under ideal test conditions, and the numbers are for comparison only. The point is the Honda is more ...

I cannot explain any further, unless someone other than a Mazda owner asks me to explain the discrepancies. But both me and the Mazda owner are correct.

And as I said, ideal test conditions. Everyone gets lower mileage usually.

The prices in the original post seem severely optimistic.

Good stuff. Price? And does it do 0-100 kph? I am assuming it can do skidpad...

It is something that I'd need, or a guy regularly dishes out dough at the Autodrome. Pricey though. Can't justify it in my budget for now.

What you're supposed to do is cancel the Abu Dhabi reg and get temporary "import" plates from them at a separate cost, then drive to Dubai and register in Dubai. Midland Cars in Karama, Dubai (look 'em up) does it all, for Dhs 200. I used them to register a plateless car I bought in Sharja...

People that are incredably ignorant and have the manners of a pig generally need actions that teach them a lesson. Its thinking like this that start wars. Likesage said, this isn't the UK or the US. You can get into some serious shit for doing something like that. Actually, you can get away with su...

I thought you had a Mazda, you Mazdaboy!

It costs Dhs 71,000. Straight from the horse's mouth.

I can blur my vision my contracting muscles in my eyes (cornea?) But a doctor told me it's a normal but rare condition.

Blurring the vision isn't freaky. I can do that. Just "lose" focus, and you're there. Fun while driving.

There are a number of guys driving 182's around Dubai, but would not like to meet an SUV or 4x4 in one!

I was going to condemn you for vaguely reccomending an SUV, but then I noticed you have a Civic.

I would slam my break too if some idots driving behind me and flashing me with it's lights when the traffic is busy, and I am on the fast lane doing the road limits (or a bit above) and some idots driving like the fomula one, flashing the lights and beeping me. I beliieve the fast lane is not for s...

I'll send you a sped-up video of my speedo too. Also search for the video where a guy on an electric stand-up scooter outruns a Corvette.
