Default Ken Block doing what he does best!

Hi,
Take a look at this Ken Block video.

http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/media/w...ubai-1.1682409
It's great to see him driving on roads that I use every day!
Luckily they probably switched off the speed cameras (they are everywhere here!)
Cheers
Steve

Speed bumps every 50 yards as well on some of the roads, stayed at the fairmont al bahr a year or so back, and the 'dual carriage ways' close to the hotel were interesting.

Hi,
I live in Khalifa City - 5 minutes from the Fairmont (which is owned by same family company that have the Mercedes dealerships in Abu Dhabi).
Did you visit the worlds largest BMW dealership that is nearly opposite the Fairmont?
Too many speed bumps near that hotel!
Cheers

Drove past the BMW place a few times, didn't go in but looked pretty impressive.

Spent most of the time at the circuit, was there for the Ferrari world finals, the company I work for had two cars racing. Ferrari world is a very impressive building, spent a night there. You also get pretty good views of it from the shopping mall next door, that we seemed to almost have to ourselves when me the misses walked around there one afternoon.
