Off topic, but I think it's so cool to see these cars in so many countries. I would have never thought of an FD being in Saudi Arabia!

I have to admit though, the Arabic lettering looks exotic. Plain black/white plates look sharp, but even better when I can't read them

Unfortunately, my plate is gold and royal blue

Nice car man. Got to love all that open road near Jeddah. Someone had a black FD in my compound MD-22 in Dahrhan. I sometimes miss living over there.

Actually i bought it from the first owner, he imported from the state, so its an american specs FD.

Usually the customs here charge 5% on any imported car which is nothing!!

I imagine it would be very much like living in Texas or Arizona, w/ practically zero rain year-round...
