Thumbs up Bahrain

Since I'm here for quite awhile... setting up a thread for Z guys in Bahrain. Anyone out here? I remember seeing some people's profile saying they were either from here or out here now. Let me know so we can meet up! Show me around Bahrain and the "spots"...

If you are planning on staying in the region for a while, you might want to consider selling yours back home and getting another one here. I did that when i moved to Houston for a year, sold my BMW Z4 and got my current 350Z. Although i wish i didn't ship it all the way here, for the dealership to say they cannot fix a lot of stuff because it is so different to the local models?!!?

You can definitely tag along. This will be my first time to track my car, but it should be interesting to see some of the other professional cars out there. You will like it, and being in Bahrain, you will see a lot of these events. Just check out the link above for the dates.

So I hit up the track today... pretty cool stuff! it was open track day today and my buddy and I got to chill with some people that were doing some runs. met a cool guy driving a red Ferrari and was able to get some photos/videos of him on the track... plus got to hit up the go-karts for 5 BD and ran laps for 10 minutes. Totally worth it. Took some photos, i'll try and post them up today...
