What are you doing this weekend?
 
Mixed mood in office today. We won a tender, but some of the staff (in another office) have been let go. But I'm still safe :unsure:

Anyway, your weekend plans? Off to Oman this weekend for camping and trekking around Nizwa. It'll probably get rained out.

Trying to get it up!!!

This weekend also consists of buying a car as well. That will be interesting. Anyone recommend how to do the insurance? At the center or before hand?

What are you getting?

Why do I have a sneaking feeling it's a FJ Cruiser?

When I last owned a car I arranged for the insurance through the bank. AXA and RSA offer competitive comprehensive insurance.

beforehand. make sure you take a hard copy of the insurance.
the guy at the registration was refusing to register my old car because the buyer hadn't brought a copy. That was until he saw on his computer that the buyer works for the RTA!

when i brought my beemer last Oct, the dealership wanted a 'hard copy original' insurance docs, before they would release the car to me - in other words a hard copy with the original insurance company stamp on it.
