Like I said I don't watch or enjoy contact sports anymore. Always knew it was fake but then it just started getting day time soap fake and that was too much to bear. In an hour long show there was about 45mins of some idiot with a mic in the ring balbbering or some behind the scene rivalry bullshit and about 10-15mins of any actual wrestling. Before that I was a super wrestling fan, Jimmy Snuka, The Iron Sheik, Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Bret and Owen Hart The rocks father Rocky Johnson were there, it was fake back then too but a lot more colour full characters. Heck their managers and even the ringside commentators were more interesting than todays wrestling. Like Jimmy Hart and Mean Jean. McMahon took over and eventually ruined the whole thing. Turned it into fekin soap opera

You need a new therapist!

I stopped watching after it got way too fake in the 90s and now I just don't enjoy watching and fight related sports

Thats because avg joe public is ignorant, cheap and like to stick to what is familiar. Complain about a 1.8 using up to much gas and should have bought a 1.3 instead. Wont pay 14 dhs for an original oil filter and buy one for 5dhs instead. And I hardly ever see any jap crap corollas, camrys and sunnys from the early 90s even out here in RAK where is filled with old clunkers and beaters. Mechanics just love old jap crap because its so simple and easy to deal with. If you are not going to have a nice ride even here in the UAE then either you ar not a car guy and a car is just like a washing machine to you, that is justs serves a fixed purpose or you are an extremely boring person. P.S : My current ride at the moment is a beater 1998 Maxima with 589,000 kms on it. Still beats driving a jap crap corolla or camry any day

That part I agree with"Bmw engineering" is highly overrated as me myself and sorta suffering with it myself. Mercedes on the other hand anything pre 2000 is pretty much solid, specially if you can get your hand on a early 90s 190E That thing is built like a tank and will outlast any jap crap. Another buddy has a 97 E320 and S320 both over 300,000kms and has them from new and they look and drive just like new.

Just because its budget, doesnt have to be boring, specially nowadays, thats my motto at least.

I think the Jimny Liwa Team will disagree with you on that one. For such a small and light car that weighs just 1ton I think its sufficient, acn always mod for more power if needed Or you could swap it with a 300hp LS corvette V8 and yes thats a thing

This thing is creating a big buzz all over the internet cant wait to see it in real life. The previous Jimny was a great little proper suv with a ladder frame chassis, low ration gearbox and pretty capable off roader. This look even more off road worthy. Cant say the same for the lime green hero colour they have chosen for it though!

Thats what happens when you buy all the stuff from a going out of business sale car accessory shop in satwa

Well that was all fizz and no pop! I was so disappointed at the "conversion" I didnt even bother to look at the pic closely! Well at least I eventually sorta guessed the car right.

How was last weeks suhoor drive? Think I missed the drive report

You're most welcome.

Put in a max cap of 5000 on the seach on dubizzle and many facebook car for sale groups ans watch in amazement what you can get for 5k for that amount nowadays in this tanking used car market. I was just looking at This yesterday and sent the link to my friend so that why I have it handy. Slightly above budget but I bet you can beat him down to 5k easy. Single owner fully loaded reasinable kms with every bell and whistle and looks immaculate from inside and out https://tnydu.biz/DOwBrA 5k goes a loooong looong ways nowadays. Recently I was very tempted at a 1999 2dr Z71 blazer with factory fitted offroad package that includes a lift kit and uprated suspension 32 tyres and swing away rear mounted swingaway spare tyre carrier, asking 5k Would have made a great desert toy Bump up to 20k and you can have almost anything you fancy Can get two of those and change left over for 5k

Well if it is some dumb ass fiat or Lancia which none of us here in the middle east have seen or heard off then dont blame us for not being able to guess it.

Maybe an old volvo then.

Been there done that, thankfully got rid of it after 3 months for an unbelievable good price.

Some old 80s JDM crap like a skyline or cedric wasting a Lambo motor in a crappy FWD configuration.

RTFM

Almost impossible

All sheeps have a built in diagnostic code reader. I think you have to keep the trip reset button and turn the key to position 2 and hold it and then the odo reading will display the code or something. Google for precise procedure and report results as to what code its showing OR Sell the sheep and buy something useful and save your self the daily agony of owning one

That shouldn't cause the car to immobilized as it clearly was from the pic posted with the no key entry light on and No Bus error. No bus error usually means a car has lost contact between certain parts and ecu and in an XJ its usually means the gauge cluster has lost contact with the ecu which will also show dead gauges. This is probably due to your "enthusiastic" off road driving style In your case simply open up the gauge cluster unplug it ans clean the contacts with some electric cleaning spray, NO WD 40! And plug them in real tight and you should be good to go.

Yes ofcourse and also because it has a huge battery and if that catches fire then you are looking for an extended fireworks show.

Older car, heat and extreme driving conditions. Your radiator or fan not be working at 100% capacity. enough for everyday conditions but not suitable for being pushed. And why were you doing such a long climb just in 3rd anyways!!!! If nothing happened to the motor you can risk overheating and causing permanent damage to the transmission. Ive driven up and down Jabel Jais a dozen or more times there are only a few places an auto trans hunts for a gear. Only time I use the manual triptronic is when coming down to use some engine braking and not just rely on brakes and avoid brake fade.

Wadi beah is a strange place and a lot of strange and unexplained things have happened there, some I have seen myself and some Ive heard directly from people who lived there. I'll write in detail of one the stranger things Ive seen later on, It's from the time when it was totally open and ypu could enter from Dibba and do the entire track and exit from Ras Al Khaimah. We use to call it the grand canyon tour.

Or maybe the speedo was just wonky!
