I'll wait till the winter....I know someone who lives in Dubai but visits USA frequently, and the summer heat is brutal.

It was around 68 degrees the other day....and he said he was freezing

The drive back and forth between AUH & DXB is not that bad. I do it at least 3-4 times a week. The downside is that it can get very boring as the scenery is not exactly pleasant...maybe a bit too bland. I loved long drives on the east coast of Canada because the scenery was breathtaking, but this repetitive desert really can put you to sleep.

But hey, as long as you know where the cameras are, then you can enjoy a 45 minute voyage...

I agree, however, I do not want to put those sorta miles on the Z, circa 200km per day x 5 days a week = service every 5 weeks!

Although I have 'orange' blood running through my body, I would want any Asian team to do well. I think Saudi have a good chance, Ukraine are beatable as is Tunisia. As for Spain, I think their history speaks for itself, anything is possible against them. Plus I don't think they can do worse than 8-0??

Scarface, I am a huge Titi Henry fan being a Gooner, so I'll be cheering him on.

Default Hey guys

Hey Everyone

I currently live in dubai and was curious to know if anyone has shipped their Z's over from america?
Im origianlly from chicago and have had my Z sittin in my garage for the last 2 years and ive always had the intentions of shipping it over, but at a 15% duty i didnt think it would be worth it since im moving back to chicago in 2 years. although if i was to ship it over and sell it, how much of a profit/loss margin would i be at?
its a 2003 Track with 18k Miles....not to mention i dont know the interest in an American spec Model.
i have UR ss Pulleys, Megan Exhaust, Injen intake, Tinted ,sittin on brembos and 18Rays Track rims.

Anyone with some insight?

yah man, i hate how the resale of Z's is dropping as fast as it is.....you go to any major city in america and theyve become as common as corrolas. in los angeles its almost impossible to go a day without seeing at least 20 of them....even in dubai theyre popping up faster an faster.

yah the new GTR, i hope they stay true to the twin turbo all wheel drive and not try to take away from its heritage.........nissan is all about that.
