British tourist hits every speed camera on Sheikh Zayed Road in a rented Lamborghini Huracan and racks up 175,000 dhs in fines. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-45085991?ns_source=twitter&ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbcnews&ocid=socialflow_twitter

Been watching this YouTube channel for a while, Garage 54. It’s an old Russian mechanic doing all sorts of crazy things, mainly in old Ladas. Nice break from the seriousness of life.

Twattery of the highest degree. https://m.gulfnews.com/news/uae/crime/online-video-challenge-can-lead-to-dh2-000-fine-23-black-points-in-uae-1.2255768

After a lot of research and patience, I bought my first Mercedes ever about two years back - Mercedes Benz GL 500, recently crossed 200k kms last month. I have driven my friend ML500 for a week before buying this and I was completely convinced that I needed such amazing, spacious, and powerful daily driver. Thinking for 5.5 engine it consumes way less than any V6 in the market as Mercedes have done some crazy fuel science and I get around 12-14 L/100 gas mileage with a combine in 30% city + 70% highway. With 382 hp there is no shortage of power and as per internet, it can sprint 0-100 in 7.5 seconds for such huge 4x4. This car has some amazing blend of luxury and ruggedness which make me so happy to own it and I hope I can keep her forever if she continues to behave well in long run. I really love her three-row spacious seating that can accommodate 7 pax without any fuss and noise at the far end. The interior's quite a bit more overtly luxurious, with wood trim and glints of metallic trim; its controls are laid out well, and there are fewer of the tiny, inscrutably labeled switches. GL 500 shifts power through a seven-speed automatic to all four wheels, with an electronic all-wheel-drive system that limits wheelspin through anti-lock braking, a system pioneered on the M-Class, which sometimes I hate too much %^%&^&*. For safety, it has standard curtain airbags, stability control, all-wheel drive, a rearview camera, Bluetooth, Adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitors etc. For entertainment it has standard power front seats; a power-fold feature for the third-row seat; a glass sunroof over the rear two rows of seats; a COMAND controller for climate, audio and navigation systems; Bluetooth; and an AM/FM/six-DVD changer, navigation system, 610-watt Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio system with surround sound; and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with twin 8-inch screens and wireless headsets. Things that needed repair or replacement from time to time Air suspension Oil cooler seal leaking ball joints, boots, bushes, moountings etc. Minor electrical issue with music system - no volume sometime Coolant leak due to some burst Battery, tires, wipers etc - regular consumable

Is this car the cheapest car in UAE for under 30k Dhs. Has anyone test driven this? or know someone who bought this car. ? Chery Arrizo 3 Before anyone gets on the bandwagon of cheap Chinese cars are not reliable etc... This is the same company that has done a JV with TATA to start production of Jaguar and Land Rover in CHINA.

car info: 2006 w211 E350 japan spec with 77k km radiator tank had a leak and have splashed small amount of water into the engine bay.. tank got emptied in a week and got check coolant level error message... changed the tank! in a week i got the error message again but this time it was half there cuz only the cap was bad (because it was used)... replaced it with the org problem: I noticed a small tick tick noise when the car was running 2 days ago i didn't really cared. Today all of a sudden it is really audible and no need to mention, its irritating and annoying along with the sbc humming... the sound cant be heard when making right turns, decelerating or braking to take exits from the highway, and on highways with speed above 90kmph. the speed of the tick-tick sound increases with the car's speed. heres the video at idle and running at city traffic. what is the cause and possible fix!? it sounds expensive to me...

Hi Guys, I am planning to to go Hatta Lake for Kayaking Friday 09.03.18 morning. The venue opens at 8am and its 60Dhs per head for unlimited time. I am attaching the route going to the lake. However i plan to take the Route B which crosses a wadi and just drive through it. I have taken the route before through that wadi but half way only. This time i am planning to cross it and connect on the main road going to Hatta lake. If any one is interested can join. Meeting point is the only ENOC station on the E611 at 6am. https://goo.gl/maps/LNCq796fte92 Those interested please sign up on the below callendar link.

Warning: Owning, registering, insuring, or driving a Jeep implies knowledge of and intent to abide by the following rules, regulations, and guidelines. Failure to obey the letter or spirit of the rules may result in your being ignored by other Jeep owners as you sit along the side of the road next to your stalled vehicle in a blizzard surrounded by toyotas, Nissans, and Hyundais. As i see Jeep wave is not popular in UAE. If i am seeing any other Jeep specially another Cherokee XJ i am giving wave or honk to say hi. Seems like most of people dont know the rules. I can understand if a brand new Grand Cherokee owner may not know about the rules(because for most of them this is just a SUV) but i think Wrangler and Cherokee XJ owners should know. For explaining the rules i want to write something. For the wave one of the important thing is hierarchy. You should know what is the point of your Jeep. Lower point will wave first the higher point Jeep. For this one; Model year of your Jeep Is your Jeep stock daily or Off Road monster Is your Jeep classic or nostalgic model These are effecting your point. For calculating your point please find the link below; Jeep Wave Calculator For better explanation please watch the video below. Jeep Wave

I would like to know the pricing to get my resonators chopped off and replace it with an x-pipe... Also about the regulations, if any! I have seen cops pulling over ricers and asking them to floor it and next thing you know is that the car is getting impounded. I don't want to get in any troubles nor want attention by putting on a super loud exhaust but just want to bring out the rumble a bit on acceleration. anyone with previous experiences or knows such shops that have readymade or fabricate one?

So anybody knows any place to get such lenses and glue from? FYI I know buying a new headlight is a lot easier but then again for my specific model it's 1000+ for a piece OEM and about 800 aftermarket.. about 400-600 for a standard one but I'm having the bi-xenon + the labor. Just put in here cuz last time when I asked about the windshield, that was the popular answer. The point is... If it's not necessary, then why waste the hard earned money be it a couple of 100bucks!? A lot of people don't know that just changing out the lens is all they need and according to what I know, it can be done for most of the cars out there!? In most of these kinda car videos, people buy stuff from Chinese websites like alibaba/aliexpress.... I have had bad experiences with it but got a refund although lost some money due to exchange rates and I think it was because I didn't give any P.O.Box number mainly because I don't have 1. Have anybody else bought stuff from aliexpress? It's an awesome place where we get almost anything for dirt cheap price. My elder brother whose in India buys from the site frequently. The only problem he faces is the international shipping time period. There are people who buy stuff in bulk quantity from alie and sell it on Shopify for triple the price. Back to the thread lol. I would also like to know if any of you have swapped out headlights with a new one and how much you paid for it.

@desertdude @Rahimdad @Gaurav Hello again, I browsed around google with no success. The question! what happens on switching to off road gear on road? Let's take the lc100 series as an example, there are 3 off road gears, one for standard road driving, one low and one high. I know the low one shouldn't be used on road because it provides low gear ratio and excessive fuel consumption. What happens on high compared to standard road driving. What if someone started using the high gear for everyday road driving? If you want me to be more specific let me know! Thanks!!

How to Whatsapp or Text while driving: 3 Easy steps. 1. Buy a Tesla. Engage the autopilot and text until your battery drains off. 2. Employ a full-time Chauffer. Yes they are availble here in Dubai. 3. If you can't afford one, give the phone to your wife/girlfriend/sister/brother/parent whoever the hell is sitting next to you while driving and let them text for you. Please never ever text and drive. Please don’t even touch your ducking phone while driving. There has been a plethora of research and studies conducted on the negative impacts of texting while driving. Motor vehicle crashes are among the top two causes of injury death throughout a person’s lifetime.3 They also are the No. 1 cause of work-related death. In 2010, an estimated minimum of 160,000 crashes involved texting or emailing, versus 1.1 million crashes involving talking on cell phones. If you are still insistent and think that you were born to do multitasking and endanger pedestrians and your fellow passengers live while driving please at least consider using the following apps, which assist you to reduce your phone usage whilst driving.

I was browsing the YouTube for off-road videos and came across the following. It occurred to me that the driver is doing something WRONG. So why not use the carnity.com experts to comment on what was wrong in the approach, skill or the vehicle that made it " DOING IT WRONG". I am hoping this thread to be not just limited to this video but as an opportunity we can share at least a video a week to have feedback and experience learning from Carnity stars. Let's see.

Hi Guys, So last night a crazy idea came to my mind. Why not do a road trip around UAE? The idea is to just drive alongside the borders as much as possible. I came with two versions short one ( https://goo.gl/maps/GVYahWP27rM2 ) as most of the Fujairah region has been explored anyway or the long one ( https://goo.gl/maps/312mYbvwDoH2). Any suggestions are welcome, such as change in route slightly to make it more scenic. Any watchouts based on past experience

Muffler replaced with straight pipe! How bad it can be? I have alot of friends that have done this and passes RTA and stuff, nobody ever got pulled over (luckily maybe, who knows). Although everywhere on the internet it says its not legal, 500 fine, 1 month impound, blackpoints etc. So is it really not legal to do it? I mean there are resonators that still muffle the sound so its supposed to be legal somewhat. What about these ricer hondas and nissans that's all over the place?
