  1. I'm seriously considering importing when we move back the UK. On average car prices over here are about a third of UK prices... so I could easily make a bit of profit if I was that bothered. Haven't pushed it enough yet to hear the engine properly. Only another 930kms to go before I can do that. :(
  2. I don't think its available in Europe (yet), definitely not in the UK. It has a 20 gallon tank which will cost the equivalent of about £14 to fill up! :) If I'm careful it will to 20mpg :cheeky:

    My Capri

    Looks like this will be a really nice car when your done mate. keep it up :)
  4. Thx guys. :) Am having problems keeping the speed and revs low at the moment though... Am supposed to drive it at 80kmh or less for the first 1000kms. But its a real smooth cruise and I often don't realise how fast its going :$
  5. After hassles with stupid UAE procedures for loans and vehicle registration, I finally drove away in my new car today :) 3.5l V6 with 265bhp. Not super fast but, for a CUV its pretty decent. Has electric everything, which is a real novelty for me... even a keycode lock system. Full leather interior with 'vista' roof for when you need to see the sky :rolleyes: The Ford guys in the UAE are offering some real good deals right now. They gave me free insurance/registration/3yrs servicing/5yr engine and gearbox warranty... and a sunscreen for the windscreen. :p
  6. Those are pretty good vids. It is quite clear that both drivers were fighting, and thats why they drove like they did. That's also why the original results should stand. As for not watching F1 again, I don't think that will make any difference either. Not enough people will 'boycott' the sport for the FIA to care... :( Infact all this negative publicity will do is bring in more viewers... just for the wrong reasons. It will become like a reality TV show.
  7. nige chillout... Don't be mad at Lewis because Kimi is off performance... infact before the last few laps he was doing well and just threw it away because someone challenged him. As for the stewards decision: What a joke! How much more biased can the FIA become?
  8. Ah!? there must have been a comma missing then :)
  9. Hamilton was forced wide by raikonnen's dirty manoeuvre. Hamilton's only option was to take the escape lane so he gave the place back and re-took it on the following corner. The dirt came only from Raikonnen! And lets be honest it was a pretty novice move at best. How is Hamiliton a retard? He span in the wet letting Raikonnen through. Raikonnen span straight after and let Hamilton back. Raikonnen kiss with the wall after all that, was his own doing because he was pushing to hard.
  10. Hey CJ Sorry not replied to your XBL pm. As a silver acc' holder i can't do anything... plus a lack of 360 doesn't help things. Hopefully a new one soon, although my wife is adamant that won't happen :sulk: Anyway. Life here in the UAE is nice and hot and am enjoying pretty much all of it right now. Petrol is less than £1/gallon so it only cost £12 to fill up the leased 4x4 we have. Infact most things are pretty cheap out here, which is a bonus. Am in the process of looking for a house and buying my own 4x4 right now which is interesting. It is real easy to get a bank loan here though :) Hope all's well with you... hopefully i'll be able to come back to the island soon too. TimBud

  11. oh lol. that feature on any browser/document/file... has done nothing but anger me. So I'm real pleased its not in chrome. However in the default vista setup that button is used to switch between screens, so that might be why its not used in chrome.
  12. works for me... infact everything on it looks pretty good my end. :)
  13. I didn't know they just weren't using the lollipop man? Which dumb idiot made that decision
  14. Sorry mate, I've only been here for 4 weeks so far. Haven't had enough time for proper exploring yet. There should be plenty of options in Abu Dhabi though, and you may even see the LP560 a the Lambo dealer.
  15. The lollipop man will no doubt have been sacked by now... he let Massa out to early and didn't even do his jib when Raikonnen pitted causing a nasty injury to one of the pit crew. I remember a similar incident with Hamilton earlier this season and he got docked 10 grid places for it. Drivers need to take responsibility for their own actions, especially those form Ferrari, who seem to get away with everything. Track was one of the worst I've ever seen, and I really hope it won't be on the calendar ever again. It produced such a boring race.
  16. about 1 hour from Dubai. NE ish.
  17. Its not genius... that trick has been around for ages
  18. Am in Ras Al Khaimah
  19. why would you want a McDonalds anyway? :confused: Still all you're doing is stealing anyway, which sucks. :(
  20. You think? :rolleyes: : I thought i made it obvious! I guess not. :oook:
  21. Every trailer I see for this gets me more excited. Th physics look pretty spot on to me... not that you can really tell from a trailer anyway. Still it probably is some version of the Euphoria engine though.
  22. Didn't think it was possible to 'rice' a non Asian car?!
  23. Cool quiz: You are the 156. Not bad, soldier. You can just about tell your GTA from a GTI. Stay in the game by keeping up-to-date with all the latest 4Car news. Final score 21 / 40 2nd attempt (without resorting to google): You are the 8C Competizione. If you were a wolf, you'd be the Alfa male. Celebrate your success by running a seasoned eye over our latest car galleries. Final score 40 / 40 did have to resort to the back button a few times though
  24. Lol, Jack does actually have quite a good sense of humour. :p

    They only have numbers here in the UAE... :( And there's no way i'm going to get some l33t version of my name. :)
