From Qatar With Love


Black95-850T5R

Recommended Posts

The odometer is stuck at 86986 Km ~ 54K miles, but I got the actual number from under the hood the other day and it was 130,xxx Km ~ 81K miles. The thing is my brother (the owner of this car) used to travel a LOT around the world to participate in chess tournaments (he's a Grand Master). And, before I got the car, it was sitting in the garage for around 8 months because he got a new car and didn't sell it because he loved it and wanted me to have it :D

I'm feeling old now, too. And my relationship with my older brother is lacking :(

Wow, great-looking stock car! Amazing how the car sits low on stock suspension. Perhaps the struts have become soft? Mine sits about the same in the rear but higher in the front.

I notice the tires are Federal SS595. How do you like them?

Yes one gets old, but one doesn't have to feel old (just made it up :lol: )

And yeah, when you have your own family, it's normal your relationship with parents and siblings lacks a bit.

I actually don't know why it sits that low although I only wiegh 110 lbs lol.

I really love the federal SS595. Set at 35 Psi, the grip is amazing and I really can't spin them even when I brake boost. The treadwear is 240 which is good enough. And they're not noisy at all.

Holy crap that thing looks immaculate.

Sums it up perfectly. Literally looks like perfect brand new paint, perfect trim, everything (tint on the back A little if possible.

What id you change the calipers too, or did you just paint them?

That baby is so sweet, and isn't your country really sweet? Do you guys get checks from the government from oil revenues too like they do in the UAE?

What other cars does your family have? The Middle East is notorious for having absolutely SWEET cars isn't it?

Also, manual or auto? Also, the best looking volvo grille I've ever seen

Just painted the calipers.

My country is actually getting sweeter everyday and all the tourists love it. I'll try to take some pic of Doha (the capital) ad other nice places. And, no we dont get checks fom the gov., but we don't have any kind of taxes to pay and electricity and water are for free + gas is cheap. You can call these indirect checks :P

We have the Volvo, 2002 Nissan Maxima, 2003 Porsche 911 Targa, and 2004 Porsche Cayenne S.

Yeah, ppl here love exotic cars. I have seen like 3 Mercedes SLR's (I tried to race one by the way :lol:), Porsche CGT, Ferrari F430 and a lot of lambo's.

The car is Auto, and thanks.

Where did you hear that ?  :blink:

AFAIK, they give checks if you want to get married. Something like $20K.
