u should see how some people drive here, rain or no rain is the same to them, and that's the result!!

At first I thought, in the first group of pics, that the dirt road was on the side of the road, but it looks like one of the roads are actually all dirt? So the rain made it all muddy.

lol, I dont think a bmw would help them. They should look into the bmw driving school...

Hope no one got hurt but that looks crazy. Insurance there must be sky high?

BMW320i · 12-18-2006, 12:34 PM

ummmmm, not sure how is our insurance compared to the US but....

my 320i full insurance costs about 800 dollars/year...

C'mon, it's not so bad....when I lived in North Carolina and there was the least bit of snow, traffic went wild, just like in Oman after too much rain!

People just aren't expecting their cars not to work "normally"!

ska///235i · 12-18-2006, 01:13 PM

cm3rc · 12-18-2006, 04:02 PM

bavarian19 · 12-18-2006, 06:31 PM
