Look what I found in beautiful downtown Al Khobar
« on: February 15, 2013 - 02:24:35 AM »
OK, so it's not a Mopar. But Al Khobar is not much of a city, either  :bigsmile:

I have to say that I'm amazed at the bravery of driving this car here, and parking it here. If you think it's scary driving a classic in the US, well, here there are no stop signs at intersections, and drivers generally just race for it so see who will (might?) make it first.

Let me know, John. Between the natives and the westerners who have gone native, I need all the normalcy I can find.

Cool find, Dave. Must've been like major shock to see an American muscle car over there, especially in such nice shape.

Hope all is well with you!  :wave:

Thee is a small restaurant chain here called Burger Fuel, which is car-themed. I have been told that the owner drives a classic Mustang, although I was led to believe that he has a 1st gen, so I don't think it's this one.

I'm kind of surprised that there aren't more classics here. It's not like there's anything to do, especially for expats.
