Spotted - a dozen Z4's - but where?

Ok, I'm being slightly sneaky, but where was it taken?

Cheers R.

Some where that speaks Arabic??????

Post by **Robert T** » Thu 01 Apr, 2010 21:57

Ooooh! That was quick. Yes, the sign is indeed in arabic.

Cheers R.

I'm struggling with the translation ?????

I think it says ......."Cheapest brand new Z4's on the planet"

I saw a posting from you in the Z1 forum...

Didn't see a drop of rain round Paphos last week...

So I reckon Cyprus

Nice place I went many years ago hope you enjoyed it.

GG

EDIT just seen your other posting-not Paphos.
Israel via the ferry?

Post by **Robert T** » Thu 01 Apr, 2010 22:24

GG, you've not been following the clues...

If it were Cyprus, it would read Οι φτηνότερες ολοκαίνουργια Z4 έναντι του πλανήτη, rather than أرخص Z4 العلامة التجارية الجديدة على هذا الكوكب

Edit: Just seen your edit - Israel would be warmer.

Cheers R.

Eek! I don't think I'd go there on my hols - and this was a hol.

Another clue - they were tax free.

Nope, not Egypt either, though I did pay a visit.

A slightly less cryptic clue - I did see a portrait of one T.E.Lawrence carved into a rock in the desert on one of our little excursions.

Saudi Arabia

Post by **Robert T** » Thu 01 Apr, 2010 23:07

Oooh, getting very warm now, but not Saudi either.

A motoring related clue - the ruler is best mates with Martin Brundle.

(I think that rules Col. Gaddafi out

)

Must be Scotland then, because he is mates with DC.

Actually I got that last clue wrong - it was the king's father that was often seen on the F1 grid talking to Mr Brundle - always with his red and white headdress which symbolised his nationality.

Last clue - it is a land-locked country but for it's one port on the Red Sea and you can look over into Israel almost from that market stall.

Surely you can get it now!

True, but what country does DC rule?

Whahey! Got it in 26.

I was getting a bit fed up of the view of Aqaba docks after 3 days - we couldn't sail because of strong winds and sandstorms in the Red Sea - all the ports were closed - I found the zeds when we went for a bit of a walk around the town.

Didn't see any real ones though in Jordan though.

Cheers R.

Wherever it is and whatever the language, something got lost in translation for the box to call a Z4 a "super caravan" !
