Indian Jones and the Last Crusade.

I liked that dialogue. My favorite scene of Indiana Jones trilogy is the one with the master swordsman displaying his martial skills and soonafter, Indiana Jones extolling the persuasive skill of a Colt.

I heard a story some time back that an Indian cricket star won a nice car in some match in UAE, but when he tried to import it to India, he found out that it will cost him more than the value of the car just to bring it over so he just put it up for sale in UAE Our countries take the piss with duty man

I think most of these cars are taken to pakistan free of duties.

There ois alw that permits non resident pakistanis to imprt1 car every 6 months free of duty.The brokers contacts the pakistanis in dubai and ask them to do this favour...for cars like mazda3,hyundai coupe tye get paid 5000 - 7000 dhms,imnt aware of the rates of bigger cars.

So most of the cars u see on the roads are their without paying such duties.

oh yea... that happens all the time. Usually the cars that the player win aren't usually worth taking back home... I mean like Tendulkar for example, the guy owns two Ferraris... so I don't think he'll go through the hedache of importing an ordinary car into India...

Really neat cars. Almost sexy. Wow, I'd have never imagined Pakistan would have cars like these. I always bracketed Pakistan with third world bankrupt poor countries like india and Sir Lanka. I have seen pictures of hungry naked starving beggars in india. Its liek almost 98 of india's population is out on the streets begging. By comparison, Pakistan is 10 times richer than india. Pakistan has no beggars and almost every other pakistani is driving either a Porche, a mercedez benz or a rolls or some other sexy Italiano sports car. President Field Marshall Major General Musharraf has really improved Paksitan's economy and uplifetd the masses to a quality of life that supercedes the North European Annglo Saxon countries such as Denmark, Germany, Austria, Sweden, England, Finland, Norway, Holland et al.

Long Live Pakistan. All Pakistanis should be proud they have such a thriving economy that allows them to drive such fancy cars and in contrast the indians need to hide their heads in shame.
