Get a 3D 4 wheel alignment done after you get it lifted. If you don’t reset the geometry, it will eat through tyres and bushings.

I'll just add people driving on hard shoulders and if you try to block them they would flash and honk at you as if you're wrong.

The DB5 was popularized in Goldfinger but actually appeared in six Bond films, including Thunderball, GoldenEye, and Tomorrow Never Dies. A die-cast model of the car was sold in 1965 and quickly became a holiday hit for children. In its first year of production, 2.5 million full-size models were sold. Fast-forward to 2018 and you can now park the real DB5 in your garage. But before you do, be aware that it’ll cost you a whopping 2.75 million pounds (about $3.5 million). It also won’t be available for delivery until 2020.

I cut my teeth on twin and quad carburetors, but sadly, that skill is no longer in demand. I used to also rebuild slushboxes as you call them, but I have not so much as touched a spanner in almost a year, and with some luck, I never will again. However, as per your OP, I would dearly love to be able to compose music, and particularly guitar music- and off course being able to play the guitar like David Gilmour or Mark Knopfler. I even went for lessons once, but I just don't have what it takes.

Oh yes, even if the traffic light is red and the green man is showing, I will never cross the road if a AD plated car is approaching. I don’t know what it is but they have no road discipline. It’s like once they cross to another emirate, they think the law doesn’t apply to them. Another pet hate, people sitting in the car with babies on their knee or young children bouncing around all over the car. I know some people believe god will protect them and they will go when it’s their time to die, but god helps those who help themselves.

Indeed like every other Pajero said, I do agree 2-3 inch lift is good and sufficient for offroading. Also, Ren13 comment is for extreme cornering like roundabout at 80 and above, he is an ex-corvette guy lol. For normal road user and if you are driving the same 4x4 from some time, you will not feel much difference in cornering tbh. For Pajero most important offroad mod is the reinforcing the rear bumper with a solid metal plate to avoid scooping the sand which results in breaking the rear bumper within a couple of drives. Old Man EMU VS Ironman is a tough call but can be decided based on the product you put your hands on. Old Man EMU being quite old and offer a reasonable mix of comfort for road + firmness for offroad as oppose to Ironman that is more oriented towards offroad means you will lose road comfort more unless you choose their adjustable shocks (if they have), which will be eventually more expensive.

I hate the most is lady drivers (Sorry in advance for that i do respect women but when it comes to driving i guess some or rather say most of them are in their own trip) they drive as if they are all alone on the road and no one around them. they will change lanes without indicators and most of them are busy on the phone while driving. the other guys i hate are the Abu-dhabi number plate guys as they are always in a hurry for what reason only God knows😉 Please note:- Nothing personal just my observation for the past 10 years 🙏

I have many many pet hates on the road but i'll just mention these: 1) The unwillingness of people to let you move into another lane when you see the exit appearing. Although i always use my indicators when moving into another lane; they speed up to close the open gap that you want to drive into. 2) The complete and utter inability of so many people to keep distance between cars. 3) Swerving between lanes like it's a video-game. 4) The third-world quality of trucks: the black soot coming from their exhausts and their worn out tires that cause accidents to themselves or leave debris for others. They probably never heard about EURO3 or EURO5 emission regulations. Even their lights and indicators hardly still work. 5) The lack of decent highway parkings for truckers. In most European countries there will be overnight parkings with some restaurants, public toilets, showers, etc... 6) Putting the car on the service lane to perform your prayer. You are risking the life of yourself and others and i see it every single day on the 611. 7) The Toyota vans carrying 10+ people driving 130km/h. No wonder accidents happen. 8 ) Reversing on the highway after missing their exit. Those people should be taken away their license for life. 9) The lack of resting rules for commercial drivers. Mandatory resting times should be put in place. It's not the first time i take a taxi and the driver is nodding off and i have to keep him awake to reach my house safely. 10) The use of high-beams or constant warning indicators as soon as a bit of fog appears. That was my rant for today

What is the coolest supercar ever? In your own opinion. For me it’s the Ferrari F40. I borrowed a book from the local library about cars when I was a kid and saw it. Ever since then I’ve had the poster on my wall. My family were dirt poor when I was growing up and I begged and begged my dad to buy me a toy one. He saved for 12 months until I got it and I felt like king of the world. I saw one in al quoz a few months ago outside cafe rider and I was shocked how small it was in real life but happy I had actually seen one. If I ever get to drive one, I will happily die in a ball of fiery flames. now that I’m older, I appreciate the Ford gt, Porsche 959, Lamborghini Diablo, Jaguar xj220, mclaren f1, but the f40 will always be my hero. Whats yours?

Very nice topic @Barry I have just two PET Hates When someone behind you come close with a supersonic speed + gives you instant flash as if we can't see such huge FUGLY car + Don't wait to see if the car in front can steer right or not (no free lane) + After coming in front brake intentionally. When the car in front of you is slower by 20-30 kmph than road limit and still adamant to drive on the fast lane. I usually go close and wait for few seconds for a person to realize, but some AH don't even realize for minutes and then don't even react with tiny blip unless you flash them full beam x 10 times like a donkey.

Of late it's the bus drivers that transport labourers back from work that kinda pisses me off Today while I was coming home on Yalayis Road (leading to JAFZ Gate 1-3) where the speed limit is 80 km/h, I was driving at close to 100 km/h a bus was tailgating and flashing lights at me and when I gave him way he was driving at a speed of 120 km/h on the fast lane. Further, in some of the roads in these areas, you have an unpaved area where the speed breakers limit ends. These bus drivers suddenly move from the paved road to the unpaved road so that they don't have to go through these speed breakers.

Like today all off a sudden was hit by a torrential level downpour just before maleha on the way back from Fuj and right on cue one guy starts flashing his hazards!

Tr @treks my father has been working in this field since he didn't had mustache on his face and now he's bald and gray whenever I get stuck I ask him for help and believe me I have been stunned they way he leads things but things weren't like this in his working time....and yet he gets things done when asked....so it's a matter of understand and not missing the details...
