Infiniti Redbull F1 Road Show 2014 - Kuwait

I just recall, why our mod selected the name. Watch the photos.
Thousands of people witnessed the mega event. Spanish driver Carlos Sainz Jr. drove the Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One car in Kuwait. He did a full repertoire of donuts, burnouts and speed stretches in front of the crowd for the first time in Kuwait. Red Bull Athlete Abdo Feghali and Chris Pfeiffer, a four-time world stunt riding champion performed one of their amazing stunt riders, side-by-side, spinning their vehicles at high speed. They left the crowds ecstatic and the air thick with smoke. After drifting stunts by Nissan 370Z, the Infiniti Red Bull Formula One car driven by Carlos Sainz Jr. zoomed by a few times with some light stunts, that really got the crowd excited. This was followed by motorbike stunts by Chris Pfeiffer, a four time world stunt riding champion. There was a classic car parade and speeding pro karts. Photo credits to my friend Sri. Jobin Joseph.

Taken Prado for 40000 Service. Changed Engine Oil, Filter, Propeller Shaft Greasing, A/C filter cleaning etc. Total expense approximately 30000 RS. Changed all 4 brake pads, and re-surfaced all 4 discs.

The service station is next to Toyota Showroom. Made a quick dash to the showroom. Toyota SUV RAV4 2014 is very cute. Some photos attached.

Congrats on the mighty LC Prado and sorry for joining in late.

Toyota SUV RAV4 2014 is very cute. Some photos attached.
For some reasons, the newer designs or facelifts of the Toyotas lack that classy touch that they used to bring in. There are a couple of new RAV4 SUVs seen around here, look sort of toys like, to me.[roll]

nice thread sir but i dont know if it is really a ownership report or tourism thread for Kuwait?
Hi type-r,

Sir, No scope for tourism here in this place, as well as in this thread. Some photos just posted.

Anyway, back to subject. Attaching some photos of an incident. A bad incident happened. The rear glass damaged. No idea how it happened? Cricket by kids won't damage in this way. Finally, the comprehensive insurance helped. Glass replaced.

Garden Hose Nozzle

I found this small, and wonderful nozzle. It is really useful. The below nozzle is having 6 adjustments, including ON, sprinkle to high Jet. The nozzle is cheap. I bought metal and it cost me around 150rs. It can be attached to garden hose. it is really useful for under body wash.

Temperature is roaring. The ODO displayed the following today-noon, under shade. It is fun to move around the shopping malls. Found this guy, details below.

F-TYPE V8 S provides towering performance and even greater levels of dynamic ability and control. F-TYPE R delivers supercar levels of performance combined with advanced dynamic technologies for the ultimate driver focussed experience. R is intensity. It provides more and delivers the ultimate expression of the F-TYPE: the most powerful, the most dynamically capable, the most thrilling.

  • The F-TYPE R is the sports car at its most honed, sensuous and exciting.
  • 550PS 5.0 Litre V8 Supercharged. 680Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm
  • 0-100KPH in 4.2 seconds (0-60mph in 4.0 seconds).
