Right now we are living and working in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. We moved here in 2002 after 18 years in Muscat. Dubai has got to be the only place in the world where you can come across a Ferrari F40 abbandoned at the side of the road. There's only 4 hours driving time between Dubai and Muscat but the two places are totally different. It's not that one is better or worse than the other. Muscat is a village, everybody knows each other. The place is quiet and extremely comfortable.

Dubai on the other hand, is a big place and it is growing and developing as fast as any place on earth. Apart from becoming one of the worlds leading holiday resorts, it's clear that they also intend hosting all of the most important sporting events, exhibitions and shows. We have a house in Jebel Ali Village which is no longer a long way from Dubai. It's only a few years ago that people would try to avoid a trip to Jebel Ali because it was considered such a long way out of town.    Now the road is very significantly improved, and also Dubai has spread out to such an extent that Jebel Ali is now a part of the city. I am working as Service Manager at the Dubai Komatsu and JCB dealership. Susan is working as a management assistant at Shell.

In the early 1990s I used to visit Dubai on business regularly and this Ferrari F40 was abandoned at the side of the Abu Dhabi road for about a year. At first it had a cover over it, but that blew off after about 5 or 6 months. It stood there for about another 6 months and then someone (quicker than me) must have lifted it up and took it away. I have always guessed it had been stolen in Europe and brought here and someone must have had a problem registering it and decided to just leave it.
