Never as much as yours @Gaurav 😆

Since the people with too much money got bored investing in wine or paintings, they ended up buying old timers and collector item cars which led to this craze.

It’s Reddit for me. If you register as a user you can select the sub /r departments you want to follow so only these will show up in your feed.

Displacement is passé. Look at electric cars and their performance. Time to wake up and smell the Amps 🤣

The small turbocharged engines totally make sense in Europe with all the high taxes on emission and high price for petrol. It keeps the car light and i can imagine the A110 handles like a dream. It's all about fun per hp if you ask me. I'd like to see how many +400bhp cars are still being sold in Europe. All the big German manufacturers still make them but they are mainly being sold to CEO's living in emerging economy countries where the petrol prices are reasonable and where people don't get taxed-off their socks. (like UAE) Without their commodity vehicles they would all have been bankrupt already.

Doesn't AD have a China Mall ? Not sure if they have the required items over there. If you fancy ordering online you can try desertcart.ae They are not superfast and not the most cheapest but get the job done: Safety Flag two way radio you can get through souq or desertcart, but i've never tried it and i am afraid it could get blocked in customs.

Because I live in one of the newer communities on the way to Al Quadra road, it’s a pain to get to the nearest petrol station sometimes. One of our neighbors posted the Cafu service recently on the community web page and it got quite some attraction. There is a Cafu app. If I’m not mistaken you pay 18dhs extra delivery fee. Fuel prices are same as petrol station.

Shame i can't make it. I'll be having 20+ kids visiting us on a birthday party and sleepover with tents etc... Please mention me in your prayers.....😓

Indeed a heavily overpowered vehicle, fully on 2WD which was indeed an accident waiting to happen. Makes me wonder if he had NOS or some sort on board on the passenger side, causing the immediate fire and subsequent explosion.

@Gaurav This is the one i was talking about: Evoscan Software (support for MUT protocol) I don't have experience with it, but came across some posts on other forums from South-Africa and Australia where they were able to hookup the gen2 pajero to it. Next to the software you will need a USB to MUT cable which they also sell through the website.

If I’m not mistaken your pajero works on MUT(II) protocol which is not compatible with the universal OBD type of scanners. I looked into buying one but only one kit (that evo drivers use) was available with software and cable. If you want I’ll send you the link.

Hi guys I just saw the pics. Is that @EmVarlet his Xterra ? Hope he is ok ?

😮 ooh and here I am thinking that this radio was a show off gadget ! 🤣

Anyone remembers Smokey and The Bandit ? 😂

With so many cultures and nationalities in UAE, i'd like to compile a playlist of your favourite 5 music tracks; particularly when driving offroad. Please also share your motivation on why you chose that song. I'll start with mine (in no particular order and a loose selection as i can easily put 500 songs here below 😂😞 Wolfmother : The Joker and The Thief Fantastic song while crossing the dunes, uptempo and adrenaline rushing song !! The Doors : Love her Madly The Doors should always be a part of a Roadtrip or Offroad soundtrack. America: A Horse With No Name Just love the smooth rhythm and groove throughout the song Eagles : Take It Easy Same like the Doors basically, mandatory stuff... Fleetwood Mac: The Chain again... mandatory stuff... I have a particularly liking to Seventies Rock and Americana when driving in UAE. Maybe the desolate deserts and climate gives me that typical feeling.

On my ‘99 Pajero the heat seems to come more from the area just next to the 4WD shifter. Can get pretty warm. The road noise came down a bit indeed since @Gaurav bhai gave me that piece of soundproof plate to stick under the passenger footwell. Does RTA inspection complain if the Cat is gone ? Or does it go unnoticed when they are “emptied” ?

Just release the pedal and when they get too close use your windshield spray washers.

Shame but i'll have to skip on this one. Need to bring the father in law back to the airport

Found a sticker near the windshield. It's labeled as a State Farm Insurance Collision. So American i suppose. It's actually a '95 240SX according to the label. Potential driftcar

Doesn't seem like a RHD to LHD conversion. It's pretty bad and i am wondering what the plan was by gutting this car's interior. I don't wanna burn my fingers on this one, although it would make a pretty nice JDM project. But then again if i drive around in Al Quoz i constantly find myself falling in love with the abandoned wrecks...

Thanks @Barry i noticed this morning that the dashboard is missing and havent had a look Underneath the bonnet yet. As it’s an abandoned car it will be tricky to find the owner. Probably will be impounded soon. And my best excuse to not buy it is that I don’t have the bucks 😂

Since a few days this lovely Japanese green devil is parked and left abandoned in our community. It belonged to one of the neighbours but they seem to have disappeared overnight. Is this a 240SX ? It needs a front bumper and quite some parts seem to be missing but i wonder about the value and it makes my heart bleed to see this standing here. I can only assume fixing this up is gonna cost quite some Dirhams due to the availability of the parts.
