Im off to Dubai to live!

[Mark.H]

For all those who dont already know I'd just like to say as of 29th September ill be a local resident in Dubai! Ill be sad to leave you all behind but ill be back periodically so dont worry! As im missing the next meet the September meet will be my last one, aside from the obligatory leaving do's and OBVIOUSLY the last run out which im going to organise! I lookforward to my new adventures and will be sure to keep you all updated on what i get upto out there!

Im already window shopping for cars...insurance is based on a percentage of the cars value so it'll work out v.cheap for me compared to the UK...so far on the shopping list Ive got

Good luck mate and can I say I this is far too early in the day to be pissing us all off about being able to have a shopping list of motors like that to decide over, even if the last choice is a tad quiet

[burriana]

Like i said last night, got to be a 911 to get that tick on your list. Trust me, you'll love the way it handles (do they have any twisties out there?)

Or ... a C5 or 6 convertible ... in white or yellow

hahaha, im just excited thats all! ignore me!

Went on autotraderuae.com and they had all of the above (bar a 355) at stupidly low prices...for the first couple of months ill be sorting my life out out there and furnishing the pad. I have a friend out there who is my age and just bought a new mustang gt in black with matt black viper stripes and red leather interior....jammy bugger takes delivery next month! He assured me that the kind of car im talking about is well within reach however ill just have to see roll on the test drives!!! Id be buying with a mind to tracking it at Dubai Aerodrome on their night time track days...

Anyways, got so many forms to fill in im gonna be a busy fella for a while.

You also need to wear an old bed sheet and practice your drifting before you go out there.

Citroen, surely?

[StuB]

You could get a seriously blinged Skoda out there Mark!

Anyway, I've heard the weather's $hite, beer's warm, the women don't take it where the men prefer to and the pay's cr@p, so I'm not jealous, at all!

Now, mine's a large one as they say

[Killer2005]

Good luck old boy

Brilliant m8 well chuffed for you nice to see people doing well. Best of luck with it! An old m8 of mine left for Dubai to set up a BMW dealership and never looked back so I'm sure you'll love it!

Well done Mark and good luck!

I had a look through that auto trader website and simply cannot believe the prices!

How utterly, utterly selfish of you,.... running off to make lots of money and drive lovely cars in year round sunshine!

All the best Mark
