    If you are a car person you can never have a bad time at any scrapyard. Infact its one of my favorite pastimes. I was so excited to visit all the scrapyards here in RAK when I first moved here little over a year ago. One thing is for sure if you need anything for the first couple of generations of the Lexus LS this is the place. A couple of places dedicated entirely just to the Lexus LS here. Prices generally double of what you can expect in sharjah.

    You'd be surprised how much life the barren desert has. And yes, the side winder, horned viper, saw scale, carpet vipers and plenty more venomous snakes, . Hell Ive seen water snakes out in the Hatta Fools. Not to mentions tons of frogs and tadpoles there too. And all spiders are venomous just how deadly their venom is a different story. Other than the imported ozzy red back spider, used to be often found in homes because they hitched a ride with the ozzy expats I can't remember if their is a deadly to human to indigenous spider here. Camel Spiders are actually a species of scorpions which do not have a stinger or any venom. If I remember correctly. But nasty looking creatures and often very quick and seem to attack you, but actually just looking for shade to hide under, but can be a scary experience for some with a nasty big bug charging towards you, they pretty fast, ask me how I know!

In no particular order and not a complete list. Snakes of all kinds, Scorpions black and sand coloured, Camel spiders, silverfish, dhabs, lizards, weird bugs and beetles of all kind, crawling and flying even got bit by a red oriental wasp! deers, gazelles, oryx, gerboas so on and so forth.

    I use to like Gene Simmons until I found what a huge douche bag he is, now KiSS is on the boycott list.

    Like I said for me its never about the bottom line power or 0-100 figures.. Strap enough blowers and inject enough No2 you can get a gazzilion hp from a 600cc 3 cyl. I'm more from the Rolls Royce and Bentley school of thought. Its about how that powered is delivered. In which case nothing beats V8s and V12s And as the saying goes 2liter is not an engine size its a coke bottle

    You need to get out of your European/Turkish mindset and stop dreaming of VW engines in Peugeots! Lol

    You would be wrong, There are quite a few unimogs here in UAE I even know a couple of guys who own one and even today you can buy a brand new Lada in the UAE. Since all my choices including a unimog are diesel I really don't have to solely rely on Diesel fuel. I can stop at any megamart and fill up with cooking oil. And get in line, I have dibbs on running over that Lada, didn't you read my post!

    My thoughts exactly.It will be a cold day in hell when I spend that kind of money on a Honda Accord or Civic! P.S : I hate the new NSX! Just thought I put it out there.

    Haven't you watched any of these types of movies. Its usually that majority of the earths population is wiped out and there is enough fuel left over in abandoned gas stations, storage tanks and refineries to support a vehicle or two

    Long time ago there was a shabab who fited one out of a suburban in his silver samurai in Dubai, was quite well known. Many here wouldn't know but back in the day coming from shj to dubai, getting out of the tunnel opposite the airport the parking there was a famous place where people would park their exotic rides for sale. And that samurai was parked there for sale for a quite a while. I also remember a greenwood corvette c4 parked there for quite a while

    Right! Id go for a standard Pinzgaure 6x6, Unimog or 8x8 Tatra which have a lot of living space and actual go anywhere ability,out of the box, plenty of place for mods like the aforementioned solar welder and to crush anything in their paths like zombies and Ladas Who would want to live their lives out in a cramped over inflated Lada

    You didn't know this was a thing? http://www.suzukiconversion.com/suzuki_v8.htm

    Personally I think Fox bodies was the ugly stretch of the mustang blood line only beaten by the Mustang II.

    Thats a new one! Looks like a chinese job since all their English print work are like this. Seems like they just took a google image and printed that. Since English is so poor no one realized that reference only shouldn't be included. This point will make sense to anyone who has ever come across those pirated 10dhs 4 movies per disc DVDs and tired to read the back cover only to realise its just a lot of words in English put together which make no sense at all. The pirates are just happy there is a lot of English back there and in China pretty much most of the population can't read English anyway so it doesnt matte to them anyways.

    Me personally never been a Mustang fan, more of a Camaro person, which makes sense since more of Chevy guy than a Ford.

    Im with you man, hell for the last 10 years or so I dont even wear a watch no more. No matter how expensive a watch it, it has just one function to tell the time, and thats it. A watch cannot tell time well or badly. It can just tell time. Which my mobile also does hence I don't even wear a watch no more. Watches now are more wealth and status symbols or at best fashion accessories.
