I agree but where is the rear plate?

Great pics Trent:thumbsup

Was out cruzin the GT for about 4 hours in the foothills west of Calgary this afternoon. With 72 degree temps I had to take the afternoon off and get out. Not Dubai temps but for around here I'll take all I can get :banana

:cheers

Rex, what happened to the Mirage? I don't see how you took that picture without catching it?

No kidding, I hate that stupid thing! Back in Calgary you sure don't need a front plate. It's because all the speed radars in Dubai snap your picture from the front, but if you’re going over 180km/h then they don't catch you. My average speed is well over that so I don't have to worry, haha.

I agree but where is the rear plate?

Nice Trent, sounds like a good way to spend the afternoon. Seems like it was a great day back home. I talked to my old man and he said he saw a black FGT cruzin around today as well.
The FGT guys back in Cow Town are getting in as much as they can before the weather turns.

Enjoy it while you can bud.

Just for you as requested. Although with your minor interest in the color RED I would have thought Red Rock Casino would be the only place for you. :wink :cheers

:frown:bang:frown:bang:frown......No. I did not realize till after we made our '08 Vegas schedule that buying my GT would enable me to miss so many fun events that were happening when I was not there. :lol

Plus always thought SEMA was tough to get into until I noticed how many generous fellow owners will help get you on "the list" to get into events. I am undoubtedly going to schedule my Vegas weekends better in '09. :bored

Up there Nov 21-24, Dec 12-15, and for the post New Years hang-over parties :clubarty Jan 2-6. Any fellow GT owners up there those weekends PM me for drinks. We can tell funny stories in person. :thumbsup

No problem, I'm happy you enjoyed them. :biggrin

Thanks a lot, I'm happy to be part of the "GT brother hood", seems like there is a great group of guys on here. :thumbsup

Trent, (I suppose it should be Dubai Trent, just so there's no confusion, you can't even be Calgary Trent!! LOL) amazing pictures

Great pics, thanks for sharing 'em. So, there are actually (enforced) speed limits out on the open Dubai roads?

enforced? there are speed limits posted and there are stationary cameras positioned in the highways, and will automatically send you a ticket if youre caught speeding, two years ago the speeding ticket cost roughly 35 dollars US. now Im not sure, I will let TRS enlighten us. you dont see to many police cars on the highway.

Came back to your pics again today. :thumbsup:thumbsup My wife and I agree that GT pics in Dubai get the most exotic location award.

I couldn't help but notice the GT brotherhood comment. It got me thinking how unique the GT is to me. I have owned a variety of "fun" cars. But when I drove a Vette I never posted on a Vette forum, same with when I had a Viper, NSX, BMW, etc......it just never occurred to me to do anything but drive the cars. They were fun cars don't get me wrong, but you see them more commonly throughout your day to day life. The GT is not like that....unless you are at a Rally....or Chip's house for the Rally to the Rally. Then the GT is very commonplace. :lol

However everytime I drive the GT it feels like an event. Something to look forward to. Interesting conversations ensue, unique experiences occur and I have never once taken it out and just had an okay time. It is always fantastic. Now I am right around the 6 month mark so maybe this will wear off, but judging by the posts from the long timers here I don't think it will. And having this Forum to share it with other owners adds to the experience. I mean, I actually learned how to post pictures on the web. And I liked it. Show me a post with the heading "lots of pics" and it is the first place I go even though I have one sitting in my garage. And there were times after I first got the car where I thought, "Why the heck am I posting on this Forum so often", or "I can't believe this adds to the enjoyment of the car."
But it does. You and your GT are living an incredible adventure Trent, and I am glad you shared part of it with us. :cheers

I completely agree with you buddy, I'm certainly not as experienced as most of the other members on this forum but I can still tell there is something very special and very unique about owning an FGT. Having a group of like minded guys to share it with truly makes the experience that much better.

Thanks for the award, haha, I'm also very happy you enjoyed me sharing some of my adventure with you. :cheers

Haha Superfly, that's true you can’t even call me Calgary Trent, well my full name is actually Trenton plus I'm the younger one so maybe I can be Trent or Trenton Junior to make it less confusing, lol. Dubai Trent works too

I'm happy you enjoyed the pictures, when I was having them shot I was thinking how I couldn't wait to show the guys on the forum!

Like soroush said the police, for the most part don’t enforce the speed limits like they do back home with radar guns or anything. Instead the have camera boxes which take your picture if you’re speeding. The speed limits varie but I have figured out if you drive 180km/h or faster then the cameras can’t catch you. I drive well over that most of the time, haha, so I don’t have to worry about it too much.

As for the fines, I believe they are 500.00 AED a pop now which is about 135.00 USD. I still get a few of them but not as many as I use to.
