racism for what? it was a joke because all i hear is the threat of a terrorist attack in bahrein...

[mini magic]

You're basically implying that everyone in Bahrain is a terrorist.

And you're right, i was a stereotypical statement, not racist. It was still un-necessary though.

[maartenvanthek]

hehe it was a joke, because in my mind everybody overreacts on everything that has anything to do with terrorist attacks, especially when they shouldn't. FYI, i, and the whole of america, just found out that people are not doing anything when there's a real threat, thanks to an FBI translator.

and i do not think that the whole of bahrein is terrorism, i do think that 10 people in 10 million people can spoil the fun.

Martian- Ever been near a car when it blew up unexpectedly and then have AKs going off around you? Didn't think so. With blinders like yours, I'm sure more of those "10 people" will bring their friends, brothers, sisters and any 14 year old with an IED strapped to them. An acquaintance of mine was a major player in the F1 in Bahrain. I can assure you his take on things terroristic is quite different from yours. Overreact? Naw, plausible suspicion, common sense, if walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, ...

[maartenvanthek]

who is martian? referring to me? please spell my name correctly, and i want to hear nothing about hussam hilal abdu in this matter... And I was referring to you, you always bring the S&D thing in connection with terrorist, i was hoping on a reaction from you, it just shows that my post was normal and just a joke, i do expected your reaction, but i don't know what other people were thinking of me

ow and btw, is martian my name spelled in the arabic way :P

Okay, now we're goin way off topic, though my post aided in doing so. Anywho, some of us found maarten's statement uncalled for. Let's leave it at that. Though, now i predict that there will be several responses and this post i made will only create more argument, then the thread will die for a little while, then someone will find it after a couple of months and post a response, followed by another response, by which time we won't care about this thread..................... you get the picture

ive been driving past that building for years.. and ive never seen that door open. i had always just assumed that it belonged to the repair shop on the other side of the building

edit: ... until today. i drove past and the door was open. i stopped by and talked to the detailer. i didnt have my camera with me... but im going back next week and will take plenty

[mini magic]

did you see the mclaren?

[m34ever]

when are you goin back? id like to go also if you have a set time, id love to go walk around inside again.

[diabloroadster2]

i saw it under a cover. all the cars were covered so i dont know fully what was in there. i did see:
yellow enzo
red f50
red f40
red 288gto
silver phantom
plus the mclaren

m34ever.. i dont have a set time. the detailer that i talked to (about 5'10", shaved head) said that he is there every week, and said i should come back. there was a big gathering close by, and a lot of people had asked if they could go in, and he sounded kinda pissed, so i didnt push it too hard, specially since i didnt have my camera with me.
