You could say exactly the same thing about the UK though....its not the point of where you can do it....its the fact that you 'can'.

That and racing between lights must look really cool....

Sorry, I have to disagree. I think the standard of driving is a lot lower in Dubai.

I had a 540i in the UK, and whilst not in the M3/M5 league - it was pretty quick and I could find places in the UK where I could use it to it's full potential, although limited to 155mph.

Hey you're in a better position to comment than me, I've never been over there but have heard / read about driving standards - lets not digress though, i'm sure there's a million threads about it.

So you're saying there aren't as many places to open up out there? I have to do the M60 every day and, whilst its busy in the mornings, I can still cruise at 70mph+ without a problem.

Well, its the + in 70mph+ that's the real trick here. How big is that plus?
