Shouldn't be too hard.

Boo Boo Boooooooo :? whew...now I feel a bit Ok....hehe Last night I was in Dewa by 730 pm to pay for my monthly bill, since I have some clarifications with it,I went to customer service first.

Off Road Cars seems like a big outfit, but I'd still get the car checked.

I know I can't register a rhd vehicle but surely therre'snothing to prevent me keeping UK plates and using it? UK plates? No. Unless you want to put it in your window as a display piece. Though cars do come from Saudi Arabia, Oman and what not. And RHD cars converted to LHD also do not get register...

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

Well, you'd be the first to do it, so no one really knows. I haven't seen any plates any further than from Middle East countries.

No it doesnt have to. I have an amazing friend who is a female and we got along so well, spent alot of time with each other .. and just had a great time. Then this guy we both knew wanted to date her and for some reason came over to me and asked if it was cool with me .. i was very happy for them a...

But your bikes are right-hand-drive, right?

Thank you Dr Webster.

I am not a clinical doctor.

Save 15,000 more for future repairs.

We have a company here now that originated in the Uk I believe, called Dentmaster. Think it is along similar lines.

Dentmaster pushes out small dents in which the paint isn't damaged or scratched. This dude's paint has come off.

Wow. Similar to my story. I was in Atlanta.

The police don't always side with the foreign party sadly.

Could you please elaborate more about this?

Many sell cars which were cancelled in USA due to floods or otherwise.

nope.

that will be a LE sort of edition. Saw a camry LE V6 Manual lately. She was a chick Eclipse & evolution are the brands i would recommend if you are a road rasher..but then their parts are, as said, expensive & can give you homeworks at times. If you saw a manual V6 Camry, she sure went thro...

That's what I've experienced. I went to the cour...

Palkid the cost of spares has no relevance to me.

Wiat, you actually found this car in Dubai? Awesome, but where would you get parts? The dealer will have to ship parts from Japan, which can take a while.

Bushra is Asian.

Yeah Yorky, Go for it I totally agree with you man. But you giving them advice as to where they can find the fog lights, man oh man, before coming to Dubai most of them fools could not find the car never mind the lights. :roll: :roll: :roll: I dont like to "Racial Profile", but these guys...

i've been told i have a dirty mind .... not quite sure if thats a compliment or not though

Depends on the type of dirtiness.

I've reviewed the BMW 330i. It is much more expensive than the other two. I'm reviewing the press-fleet IS300 in two weeks. I don't know how some of you guys are saying you drove the all-new IS300 when there are none in stock (my buddy tried to buy one). The new G35 is still a long way away from rel...

New cars are designed to be driven from the turn of the key. Keep revs below 3k rpm until you reach normal operating temps. You are actually doing damage to the engine by letting it sit there and idle until normal operating temps. ^Correct, according to experts^ Warming up was for carburetted cars ...

OK...I am looking for a sedan, and i'm entertaining the Camry '07, or Altima (2.5l) '06, Lumina LS '06 & Sebring '06 or a nice second hand car with the price equivalent. I think that i will be gone in four years time (unless i get fired before that) so perhaps resale value could be a considerat...

I can take my entire car apart if I had the complete WORK manual. I have parts of it, and I've taken my dash apart partially to do stuff underneath. I've also fixed a coolant leak myself once by cutting and modifying the piping, after some dumbass told me my water pump is gone and I was ready to get...

Which turbo Supra are we talking about here?

I have a 1987 Twin Turbo with '91 2.5 1JZ-GTE conversion and other mods. It passed Tasjeel for one year at least, somehow (although it failed Shamil).
