View Full Version : I finally moved to Dubai!!! Precious is gone...kind of : (
sleepy740 01-05-2008, 10:15 AM Hey guys!
I'm excited!!!
I finally moved to Dubai last Thursday night.
Here is my apartment...I live on the 38th floor of a 60 floor building!!!

So yeah, pretty crazy!
I gave Precious (my 740) to my twin sister and her fiance as an engagement present, so I'm sad to see her go, but I couldn't take the car with me :(
But I am going to ship out Bandit (my DSM) within a couple months, after I figure out everything! It will be the only Talon in the Middle East, to my knowledge. And it will make an excellent fun car for Track Days at the Dubai Autodrome. I am looking for an 01 Imola 740 sport, so that should make a good replacement for Precious.
Anyways, I will most likely still be roaming around for awhile, until I get another 7!
Happy New Year!!!
:)
Does anyone else on bf.c know of anyone who is in Dubai?
OhGeez 01-05-2008, 10:59 AM Congrats on your move and good luck to you. :)
That building is INSANE. 2000+ ft tall. :eyecrazy Man, it's crazy to see all that construction going on at one time.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your career?

T56 Impala 01-05-2008, 12:48 PM From the looks of it, the whole country is under construction! Pretty awsome. I would love to visit some day.

Anyone who watches the Discovery channel knows that Dubai is always under construction...
Those islands they have been making are incredible.

Haha, yeah that always did bother me. Though, the plants were sharp.
Sleepy, have fun in dubs... Every picture you post of Dubai is always dirty tho, don't they have window washers there?
victoriabmw27 01-05-2008, 09:24 PM That place is crazy. I'll not going anywhere close to a building that tall, I dont like heights.
Cashmere740IL 01-05-2008, 09:40 PM Congrats man, I hope you enjoy all your time there. That's a tall @ss building.
Platinum4Life 01-06-2008, 03:08 AM From your pictures, it looks like the national bird is the CRANE...
Enjoy Dubai.

haha alright alright, only full car pics from now on, that last one was a quick snap when I first got my new camera...
Looking at those pictures again, I just realized how truly giant that tower is, chillin in the top floor must be exhilarating to say the least, I think I'd be scared though, I hate heights, especially when its just you and half-inch of glass :eyecrazy
amd4me 01-06-2008, 09:06 PM Where did you move from?
And finding a Bimmer in dubai is like finding sand in the desert.
My buddy is from Kuwait and he was telling me about the exotic super malls out there, pretty crazy.
SE7EN40RTY 01-07-2008, 04:22 AM Ah man nice to see your in Dubai! I'm in Houston right now and will be in Dubai very soon. If you need any type of information please do let me know.
