I am curious how the 993 is received over there in Dubai.

My sense is that it is a place which is crazy for the newest, glitziest stuff.... Any truth to that?

Funny you should ask this...I sold the car today!

Yup...an enthusiast offered me great money and I sold it. Typically most of the population thinks "its a 1998 911 and its soooooo old" whereas Porsche enthusiasts in Dubai appreciate the 993's.

So....what's next? Dunno. I'd like a Turbo so I'm planning to look around and see what turns my crank.

A TT eh ?
US Car already in Canada been listed for awhile :

http://timmismotor.com/sportscars.php?viewcar=579

I haven't gone to look at it yet but can do a (non expert) RennFax.

OT: I was working in Abu Dhabi in '92 for a month and got to Dubai for a couple of day trips. This was before the really big construction boom. At the time the main form of traffic control outside of the cities was 2 really big speed bumps placed close together. Are those still there? I remember the black strips of rubber at the approachs to these things and the first bump having gouge marks.

Jim - I've been here since 2005 however I have seen photos of the main road to which you've eluded to. No, since long replaced with a 10 lane wide freeway called Sheikh Zayed Road. Was the Hard Rock cafe built when you were here? Its just been torn down and was the first building you saw entering Dubai for quite a few years. Now replaced with the Dubai Marina which you can see from space of course (world's largest reclaimed marina I believe?)

The city is uber modern now...its been neat to watch and experience.

Thanks for the link on the TT however black isn't my first choice...
