Pics from Jebel Hafeet.

[Dubai182]

Hi Guys,
Here are a few pics of my run up Jebel Hafeet,i've got a pretty cool short vid aswell but struggling to change its format from moviemaker project to something useable on the net. Hopefully will get it up soon....Anyway here they are... It was so hot,48 degrees throughout the day. Really enjoyed it though,going back with a friend who's got a R32 which should be cool.

The Palace at the very top..

cool, very jealous, struggling to find good driving roads here in Surrey, North Wales was much better.

 

[James.]

Nice roads!

That house/mansion thing is fantastic.

 

[Rich]

Looks like your own race track!

 

[Spiezels]

Is that Afghanistan or sumink LOL. Looks absolutely superb, lovely stuff. x

 

[Dubai182]

Yeah its a great road,60 corners,7KM long...vid on its way..

 

[Spiezels]

Christ sounds lovely, and empty. Hope you stayed speed limit. lol

 

[KyleB]

is it a private road that can be used ala the nurburgring? or is it actually a public highway?

 

[Gareth]

public highway methinks

 

[Dubai182]

Public highway but its so empty you can go as fast as you dare,no camera's,no police. Aston Martin tested their Vantage there not too long ago. The cambers and corners are something else!

 

[Spiezels]

i'd s**t my pants consistantly the whole time.

 

[KyleB]

that would be awesome then, is it toll free too? road looks immaculate

 

[Andy.1.2-16v]

Why don't we have roads like that in this country....

 

[Dave S2K]

Looks excellent! Clio's cope well with the extra heat then!

 

[Dubai182]

Toll free and smooth as a babies bum...puts a lot of race tracks to shame. Cost around £100 million to build about 12 years ago...7 minutes til the vid is ready!

 

[Andy.1.2-16v]

Is that the road Top Gear tested the new Bentley on a while back mate?...

 

[Dubai182]

Not sure mate...Top Gear is a season behind here and sometimes the Mag is really slow coming out.. Alot of cars are being released here now which is great. The Cayenne Turbo S was tried and tested here for obvious reasons.

 

[kully]

:race: :race: gr8 views as well...........cool

 

[Blue4Ever]

Wow, that road looks very fast, great pics, great views.

 

[Ross M]

wow, stunning.

 

[Christopher]

looks great!

i dare not think of the power loss because of the heat though. hope you still have the OE airbox on.

 

[Dubai182]

^^^ Yep the heat is really starting to effect performance especially with the temperature reaching 45 degrees already. Its like being in a huge sauna...no joke. Can't imagine how hot it is in the engine bay!
The vid is up now if you want to see it action.

 

[Alan]

Cool pics...

Wheres the vid mate?

 

[Dubai182]

Crackin vid mate, nice one!!

Decat on the standard system?

 

[Dubai182]

Yep although the bracket holding the decat to the centre section isn't quite tight enough....it makes the bracket rattle at certain RPM. Need to get it up on ramps so i can tighten it. Thanks,pleased and not pleased with it...need more fast stretches in it. It looks like i'm not going that fast but it certainly felt quick enough,lol.

 

[Alan]

Cool...

Tinted too?

 

[Dubai182]

Yeah 30% all round except the front window obviously. I did want a blueflame but shipping was the same price as the exhaust.

 

[Alan]

No issue with tints over there with the cops etc?

I had my dynamique tinted 35% on the front windows and 20% on the back 3..was a bit dark lol

Aren't there any custom places to have an exhaust done mate?

 

[blue nose]

great pics and video matey enjoyed them, well done

 

[Dubai182]

There is a tinting limit but police really do not take any notice at all. Most arabs black the whole shebang out,front windows included...pretty scary really. There are a few but they want big bucks for it and as i'm coming home this summer its not really worth it.

 

[MarkM]

Public highway but its so empty you can go as fast as you dare,no camera's,no police.

Lucky b*****d

You will be telling us the petrol is dirt cheap next

 

[GarethM]

very nice looks like a good road

 

[Martin]

amazing pics...the road and scenery are look awesome
