1st DriveArabia Meet: Photo coverage
The 1st DriveArabia Meet was held last weekend, on Friday the 13th no less. Two of us organised it, and ironically enough, 13 people showed up for an event that was conceived just a couple of days prior this November. The turn-out was relatively great, considering it was competing for time with the Diabetes Walk, the Motorsports Festival and some Pakistan cricket match, all on the same day in Dubai. Also, we kept the meet intentionally low-key, so a smaller number of people could interact without getting lost in the crowd. These peeps are now in our inner circle.
It may be interesting to note that I had the oldest cars at the meet. Everyone else had something newer, most of the cars being only a year old, and with an unusually high percentage of hatchbacks.
