As long as there is no hidden police especially when they will always give a no presence summon and out of no where you will see fines out of nowhere when you re-new your car registration

and no additional road cameras which is on every 50 meters in Dubai *lol*

As far as I'm aware, it's the first 86 that was officially delivered in the UAE. Don't really have huge modification plans; some light wheels and a TRD exhaust planned for the moment. I drive fast cars for a living so this is plenty enough power for a daily drive!

Now that they're more broken in, the speakers and the head unit actually aren't thaaat bad...but I'm still going to change them for some nice Kenwood action!

Congratulations.

Any pics available for us to see? I mean start your own thread(maybe I missed it, link?) so we can demand high-res pictures. Not that I'd want Giado's thread hijacked or anything similar :P

FROM WIKIPEDIA >> "The Jebel Hafeet Mountain Road extends for 7.3 mi (11.7 km) up the mountain, rising 4,000 ft (1,219 m). With 21 corners and three lanes (two climbing and one descending), the immaculate road was called the greatest driving road in the world by Edmunds.com. The road scales the mountain and ends at a parking lot with only a hotel and a palace belonging to the country's rulers." <<




Cheers,

Final part of my delivery diary is now up!

It's always nice when the dealer goes the extra mile at the end!

Congrats on your new WhiteOut 86!

I got my Raven 86 on June 15 here in Lebanon. Possibly the first 86 in the Middle East

I'll basically quote what I said in the Middle East thread :

"I said a little something about the cars in Lebanon earlier but I thought I'd give you guys some more details.

Toyota sent 3 cars to Lebanon: 1 WhiteOut, 1 Silver (forgot the name), and 1 Raven.

Subaru still don't know when the cars are arriving and don't have any information on price.

I bought the Raven GT86, it comes with every option in mind except for seat warmers (we live in the Middle East, who cares :p). [Picture attached]

The car cost $36,000 BEFORE TAX and amounted to around $43,000 with tax and registration.

I heard the Silver is going to the son of the owner of the Toyota dealership and the WhiteOut was sold (but I haven't seen it anywhere).

I'd love to start a GT86/BRZ community in Lebanon and feel free to hit me up if you want any additional information that I can help you with.

The car has been nothing short of amazing so far. "

All I know it's a blast driving out there sometimes you are 3 wide and other times 5 wide. Last time I was there driving up the mts. At night I was 3 wide on the right hand side and the left hand side was 2 wide. Super crazy.
