The Maz doesn't look half bad but similarities to the Q35/Q50

The Bentley is just plain butt ugly!

A Bentley SUV screams Dubai (and the rest of the rich Gulf states).

My Mrs drives a 5 seat XC90.

Just sayin.

Came very close to buying the Armada. Just put off by the size of the thing. It's ridiculous.

You dodged the bullet there mate. The tyres on that thing cost a fortune - 1800Dh a piece.

Still, I'm trying to understand why 2 "single" people with no kids need the ability to transport 14 people. Living the dream... or maybe a safe contingency plan of transporting workers if the recruitment business goes south? Obviously, I'm on thin ice here and I know it.

I wanted a big car without being stupid. I wouldn't pay for a 4l 4x4 in the UK ever unless I had silly money. So out here, it's cheaper than my Lancer hire car and therefore a bit of a no brainer.

Reccruitment business go South? Are you kidding me, this is the best career in the world and opportunities are endless and theres loads of work and theres loads of money and and and.....

My mrs wanted something big and safe. She gets wet over Volvo's for some reason so when hers came up in her budget it was well worth getting. She wants to be safe too and apparently they turn into bouncy castles on the inside if you crash.

All that being said, I see your point, it is stupid but from my place in business bay she drives to Mirdiff and I drive to Internet City and wherever else I need to go (AD tomorrow morning, Sharjah next week etc).

scamp - there is a deal on cobone for tinting. I think you could get the exploader done with 3M for 500AED. Also, for 99AED there is a fat and cellulite reducing massage. Just saying.

Today's cobone? They end up in my ****ing email filter.

Bastards don't trust me it seems.

Fat and cellulite reducing massage? I'm in there like swimwear.

Erm, I've got the V8 7 seater (3rd hand, 50k on clock, 60k AED cost), and 2 kids, and erm, yes, with folks, it's rather handy.
