    It's fun to walk around in Lahore and such. You see people that are so poor they eat once a day all day and night long. And suddenly you'll see a BMW 7-series, a RR Sport, a few Porsches, a 348 and so on. The country is messed up power and economy wise. Totally messed up.

    Good for the owners though.

    Good lord almighty, what is the going rate for a new Phantom in Pak'land nowadays?!? :eek:

    I'm thinking after all import-duties/tariffs/registration/etc', it's gotta be close to or even at ~$1million (USD). . .

    (obviously if I was in the position to acquire such a vehicle there, I'd surely opt for the armored-edition, lolz...)

    Like Turkey which is at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, Pakistan is at the cross roads between the Middle East and Asia, the culture and people are also very diverse due to these factors however due to the country being a Muslim majority country with close bloodline, religious, cultural ties with certain GCC countries I consider it a Middle Eastern country vs. what the Brit colonialists believed, I also don't subscribe to the idea that the area is a called a "Sub-Continent", a load of Sub-Nonsense.

    so you would also say that part of punjab(India) is also middle east. As Lahore is also part of Punjab.. but its under Pakistan.
    I been to Lahore, and the expressways are great place to drive.

    Pakistan Punjab is Muslim and has a different culture compared to the Indian Punjab, everything that is done in Pakistani Punjab culturally and daily is influenced by Islam, so yes Punjab on the Pakistani side is Middle Eastern however Indian Punjab with its Sikh culture is part of Asia.
