Hi, was wondering if there is anyone from Qatar on this site. I am planning a trip to Qatar, and heard the Govt is very open to Foreign Investment. Just like to know what you guys have to say about it.
lambo, i love. porshe.. i am neutral. .unless its a CGT.. just wanted to know the climate.. and how business is run in Qatar, is it like DUBAI? we are serious about investing in Qatar and the Govt welcomes foreign companies, So just wanted to know how the locals are? etc.. are they like ppl from Dubai ?
3604u its funny you bring this up, i am in the process of bidding on a job in qatar and we are trying to figure out how business is conducted also. We have some local contacts so it helps. drop me a pm and I will see what i can find out for you.
HI IM FROM QATAR . LIKE arezzo SAID MOST QATARIES PREVER LAMORGHINI ,RANGE ROVER AND Porsches BUT FOR ME I PREVER THE FERRARI .
I have a very good friend living and working in Qatar. He is Egyptian. He is Vice-President, Sales & Marketing for Ferrari and Land Rover in Qatar. If you would like to meet him, I will inform him and provide you with his contact details.
Hi, thanks for replying. It would be nice to visit the local Ferrari dealer when I am there. Do you have any idea what Ferrari's they have in stock ? Not looking to buy anything as yet. . as we are just starting operations, and still doing some survey. I would pm you my contact.
PM'ed you with his details. I bought my F430 from him. I am sure they would have a few different Ferrari's in their showroom.

Hey Gaurav, What dates are you going to be in the UAE? We are plannin on having a small meet in mid november sometime, as we are a good bunch of car enthusiats from the e46fanatics forum. If you would be in dubai, and have access/dont have access to a performance car, you can drop by to one of our meets. PM me if you would like any more info. Btw, are you desi?
hey bro, to answer ur question yes im UK desi. ill be in qatar end of oct/ beginning of november, then UAE in mid november for work. In UAE my motorsport base is with Top Performance magazine ( www.performancemag.net) and http://www.performanceclub.net ...some mad racers, and they have access to an array of performance cars - well worth checking out their magazine, its excellent! Where are you planning your meet? If you wanna discuss venues or hosting it etc PM me and lets work it out peace Gaurav
Hi, My name is Bob from Seattle ,(also a Desi). Going to be in Dubai nov 1-11th. Looks like I will be moving there in Feb Just sold my F430 Spider today, will be looking to replace it in the UAE. Would love to meet up with you guys. thanks b
kiddah gaurav and traderf430, I myself am in Australia at the moment, will only be back in dubai on the 13th of Nov, so trader, might just miss you by a couple of days, but Gaurav, you'll be there, so we lot should def meet up. I'll try sortin up a meet, and definitely PM you the details. As regarding the perfomance group, I know who they are and have a couple of issues of the magazine. They are a good bunch, although their work in more to do with Jap cars than Ferraris for example. Although, if you can get access to any form of sports car, be sure to link me, whats better than drivin a wicked sports car innit! I'll keep you lot posted, till then, keep posting, keep in touch.

Not from Qatar but here for a while.... I'm gonna try and check out the F dealer. Anybody have recomendations for unique things to see/do around Doha?
Im from Qatar (traveling & using PDA lol)! too bad I was busy working and missed the 60th anniversary ! For investment I suggest visting and checking first hand also try this site: http://www.investinqatar.com.qa all the best and Yes i do see more lambos and porsches than Ferraris but that’s good talking about exclusivity. But i believe Ferrari sales is doing very good in Qatar with sales growth of 300% and wining best importer in middle east for 2006 and high expectations for 2007 so that make sense everyone i know owns or owned a Ferrari. also the VP Sales & marketing manager in our dealer is down to earth well respected guy and a very good friend when i first knew him we used to stay talking until midnight just about cars and when i approached him for my Enzo order he did his best to find me one but unfortunately we didn’t get the deal we hopped for at that time. Many activities here from shopping, sea trips, fishing, diving, dune riding, desert camping…etc but this is what we do after 12am http://videos.streetfire.net/video/cd5aa833-8056-42f2-a2da-beb69df229e1.htm tc.
you welcome ! no its a twin turbo viper but it does have a NOS system installed and ready. i told the owner he will never use it and i was right its scary with over 1100tq on boost !
stock gearbox with just an after market clutch and lighter flywheel. the viper drivetrain can be so reliable at this level as far as you don’t abuse it many runs 9’s with stock gearbox and ive seen one viper running 8 second passes using a stock gearbox. i remember when he first got it he was so happy ! the car witnessed long periods of acceleration and deceleration and amazingly the car performed so good with no problems. tc.
