    So, I'm gonna move to the Middle East & I'm thinking of getting an FJ Cruiser.

    I don't have a question. Just sayin, like...

    In the mean time the 159 will be going up on Carzone.

    I could never, EVER buy a car with an interior that ugly. I don't care what it is.

    No need for diesel, where I'm going petrol is cheaper than water. I'm even gonna strap an eco hippy to the front grill...

    I fell in love with them over in the States. Absolute beasts.

    Ah to live somewhere where retard government policies aren't forcing people down to 1 litres.

    I don't know what an amazon is. But the idea of the FJ is that it is brutal and utilitarian. The opposite of what you would want for Irish roads.

    re: Amazon. Prior to the current model, the 80 and 100 series landcruiser. Very big in Oz and the Middle East.

    Modified 80 series

    The 100 - like mine

    Both extremely capable vehicles.

    I'm sure its very capable. But the styling is a bit mundane for me. I want a car that I can love as much as an Alfa, but I don't think there is an equivalent over there...

    The UAE is the new Sin City. Everyone I know out there is smashed drunk more than we are here at home!

    edit: @blue, that first vid is unnatural!

    It may even be possible to get a Hummer. I've been having a look at www.dubizzle.com & they are relatively affordable - but the fear would be that they've been rallied around the desert. A Porsche Cayanne could also be within reach, but either of those cars will cost allot to look after...
