By the way, this is finally a car thread I can get into!
(As opposed to car I can get into....never mind )

I didn't understand that bit about EU spec. What's the option, de-tuned Chinese spec maybe?

BTW those are the sports seats and known to be less desirable than the standard seats, jus sayin.

as oppose to it being GCC spec

Bad day on the golf course better than a good day at the office?

I think bad sex is better than no sex. It's still sex.

Holy. ****ing. Hell.

Honestly.

err is that in response to my comment, or to DXB coming out?

Your comment, Mission.

what's wrong with my comment?

Nothing. Just forget I said anything.

Nothing, mission. Nothing. Really.

I'll just say I never liked the term 'coming out' as I am what I've always been

Scamp - let's get back on track. What car did you get?

my apologies if that came across offensively

The new Explorer.
Working Laaandan this week with all the hipsters and cool people of E1. Land on Saturday at 0800. Pick it up at 1100. Quite excited.

Okay. Had no idea they would have a GCC spec. Does it improve on the EU spec I wonder?

Barf.

I remember Shoreditch before it was cool. Mind you there was a high likelihood of being mugged too

Have fun with the new Explorer when you return. It is neat to know there's a new car waiting for you.

GCC is probably lower spec - haha! (i.e. the Golf Rs are detuned for the middle east due to overheating of the turbos etc).

...But it means it was imported officially rather than a grey import from Europe. GCC means less hassle with dealers wanting to work on it etc and easier to resell.

Also a lack of history on the grey imports means it could have been involved in something nasty outside the country and no one would know. Same like the US spec ones.

It is what it is. Last night in the hotel bar / restaurant the amount of 'young' people (my age ish) drinking wine and wearing Yeezy's coupled with ultra trendy / hipster chic clothing was astonishing. Also astonishing given the charity shop ensembles and the super pricey shit trainers. Irony isn't a strong point of the E1 hipster helmets.

It's cool though, nice to be here and to be busy, nice project that I'm involved in for the business and nice to bowl around catching up with buddies and my Mummy at the weekend.

Cheers, it's exciting. Looking forward to getting it and spending Saturday on the roads going nowhere.
