Living in the UAE

[Brpod]

Morning all, thought you might like to know that I just got back from the local Chevrolet dealer wh offered me a brand new Lumina SS (Monaro V8 350bhp)for the princly sum of 90,000 Dhs (= 13,250GBP) Brand new (97,000 for leather seats), 0 millage, 3 year warranty. If only petrol was not so expensive and less than the current 6.75 per gallon (=1 GBP per Gallon) that's right 23pence a litre.

I am now faced with a bit of a dilema, I have the cash in the Bank, My wife says OK (she gets an MPV), should I or should'nt I, that is the question.

Tune in next week (or tomorrow) to see what happens....

You know we pay more than that in tax on a litre

Hope you enjoy whatever you purchase over there

Yes, cars are cheap...

Yes, petrol is cheap....

How else are they going to entice you to live in a place where it's as hot as the sun !!

(apart from the huge salary that is )

Never mind the heat............its the humidity thats the killer there! Spent 2 loooooooooong years in Dubai, you should be given the car for working there

I transited through Dubai & Oman twice every 4 weeks for all of 2005.... some really nice cars driving around.

It's a pity our flowing robed brethren don't know how to drive! I lost count of the times I nearly got wiped out over there

Try India then, if you have an 18 wheeler you may survive the roads...

So who's gonna come on a convoy? If we can get it to Egypt should be ok from there?
