I met some cool local guys, Mubarak Al Mansouri on the right knows me from the old NPM days, he is very much into Nissans and owns an SE-R of all things. He also has an 11 second R35. Hamad Al Mazouri on my right is an ex rally champion. |
Ken Gushi and Ryan Tureck. |
Dai gets stuck watching from the sidelines. For us, this hurts. |
We posed for pictures once the car was declared dead and we gave up. |
Frederic Aasbo won in a battle with Tanner. Afterwords everybody was doing mob drifting to please the crowd, this was pretty cool to watch. |
More mob drifting! |
After the event we were invited to a lavish after party at some totally baller club. There were midgets and all sorts of stuff there and I got to smoke a hookah. We were up all night..The next day we decided to go sight seeing in Dubai instead of sitting around sulking. We grabbed a cab and took the two hour ride to Dubai to see things there. |
The Mall of the Emirates was like any other mall other than it having stores so super baller that you can’t even bother to go inside. You can’t afford anything anyway. |
These things are as common as Civics. |
This crazy looking hotel was one of the tallest buildings in the world. The pool is a crazy water show fountain that makes the Bellagio in Vegas look like a kiddie pool. Doesn’t it all look fake like CGI? More on this building later. |
Sarah wanted me to get her a shot glass which is pretty tough in a non drinking Muslim country but I finally managed to find one here. Look at all of the tacky souvenirs. If I was Arab, I would probably find some of this stuff offensive. |
