How do from leeds! Im gonna be moving to Dubai on the 28th Sept, Ill be working as a Quantity Surveyor and was wondering do you lot ever meet up or anything out there? Really looking forward to the move, experiencing a different culture and meeting new people...as well as working my ASS off! The Yorkshire chaps tend to have quite a good social side of things and im hoping to maybe be able to meet some Dubai/Abu Dhabi based Pistonheaders to hang about with and chat metal from time to time, Id also like to take a couple of blats out into the unknown too if you guys do that sort of thing???

Blimey, another yorkshire lad and hopefully a Leeds Utd supporter. Nice one, I'm from Harrogate originally.

get yourself on to www evolve.ae click on "forums" we are all PH and enjoy cars and tracking them. We have social events and attend shows etc, so you would be more than welcome.

Should say that I too am a fellow QS, although am in claims more than anything these days.

Who are you going to be working for?

Ill be working for Turner and Townsend...

Im afraid im not much of a football admirer however i do follow Leeds United through all my mates never shutting up about them! I am much more of a motorsport person to be honest! Im very excited about the opportunity to work out there, the long hours and hard work certainatly dont scare me, if anything im looking forward to a challenge!...and the rewards that go with it! Im currently living round the back of the Yorkshire Cricket Ground but the better half lives in Harrogate so I have spent alot of time over there recently! I must admit it could be a couple of months before i get something tasty but I shall get something eventually!

Ill be sure to bob in on the other forum! Might be a bit too shy till I actually have a car to talk about though!

Mark,

Does not matter what car you have, its all about having fun with like minded people who enjoy cars.

T&T huh, can't remember which projects they are working on!

I take it you have researched (see other posts) on costs etc here in UAE?

Are you coming alone or with the other half?

We had a meet up in the Spring and a good bunch it was too - had a good blat up Jebel Hafeet.

I'n sure we'll have a few more once the weather cools down.
