Check the link and watch the vid, not tech savy enough to figure out how to put a you tube vid on here! If im honest i'm impressed! Not buy the cock doing burnouts in the middle of SZH (???) well, maybe if he had a better pick up like a V10 Dodge Ram for example!

Oh and if anyone from the Sun or Daily Mail or the Mirror happens to see this, yes this is exactly what happens every second of every day on the roads in the bankrupt Middle East.... rolleyes

Right... off to get my Nissan Sunny on two wheels... !

Doh!!! Guess that might have something to do with the grand prix circuit here as well then!? getmecoat

There is also that massive RUF building at the entrance but ive never really seen any activity there apart from when F1 was in town. I think the guy who runs the Middle East Porsche series lives here too?

Is it? I thought they were based out of lovely DXB - at least the Middle East boss is

Talking to a coleauge about the SZR driving, and he says that SHK Mohammad has taken charge of this persnally, and that all involved have been arrested.....about 20 people I understand. The drivers will have their cars confiscated, between a 50k-80k fine and between 6 months and 3 years inside. Ther guys were all from Al Ain, which I think miffed him slightly.

Be interesting to read the details when (if) if does get that far.

Good stuff! If thats the case those lot are F'd!! Had this happened back home they would have just got a fine and made to attend a driving awareness course! wink

My dad has always said England would be much better if it was run by a SHK!!

PH late on this story!! Should have just checked their own forum!! hahaha!!

Also loved the comments from all the people who have clearly have no clue about the ME!

Well done to Hitch & Matt there for some corrections to some posts! Dubai may have its fair share of aholes on the road but trust me Bahrain is the worst!! DXB, AD, Qatar, Q8, KSA they are all here with their blinkers on!

Had a look out on the way home last night and there are 180degree shaped skid marks all down the SZR from where I work above the Porsche dealership to about half way down Al Quoz.

I remember seeing one mark last week and wondering when the SZR was ever quiet enough to do that. Seems you just need a few mates to make a Land Cruiser rolling road!

Fair play to em - we've not had a good bit of Dubai bashing for months now. It's always good when some wingnuts who've never been further outside their estates than the dole office start spounting Daily Mail stories!

Middle East boss (Ian Gorsuch) moved to Bahrain a couple of months ago. I had a few beers with them before they left.
