thanks ! am gonna need it ... it's crazy in sharjah !!

@fahad - well technically speaking u need a week for the theory, a week for parking and then about 20 days of classes (assuming u put in 2 a day) and say a month to finish both kuccha & pukka tests. of course this is assuming you clear everything in first attempt and u need to factor for public holidays etc.

hey there ! i am swinging all over the place.. i was tilting towards the new mondeo, probably 2nd hand though (see another string i started on that subject here - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11241), but resale is a factor for me as i am not sure how long i am gonna be in the UAE.

i wanna stay between 60-70k, want something sporty and inspiring...any suggestions ??
