The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for Land Rover, so it makes sense that the automaker is looking to set up shop in the region. According to Automotive News, Jaguar Land Rover is in talks with the people of Saudi Arabia to build a factory in the country at an expected initial ...

Looks like the tables were turned in this odd police pursuit, as an officer is promptly chased away by the very intimidating Saudi street drifters he was supposed to reprimand (or even sentence to beheading). The poor police officer gets in way over his head when spectators turn on him and start ...

We're not going to pretend that everything American kids do with their cars makes sense. Ghost riding, tray sliding and soaping sayings like "Sexy Seniors 2012 XOXOXO!!!" on car windows comes to mind. To be young and a car owner (or car borrower, in the case of most kids) often means doing ...

A Saudi man in his thirties, identified by the name Mutannish in reports, has been sentenced to death for causing two onlookers to die during a driving demonstration of Hagwalah – one of the wild displays of drifting we're used to seeing from that part of the world. During the show, two ...

Here in Canada, garbage trucks are mainly for picking up, crushing and dumping trash. The same garbage trucks roles no doubt apply in Saudi Arabia, except when the trash hauler doubles as a crowd-pleasing stunt car. Beyond the jump is video of a thankfully trash-less garbage truck that has a ...

The relationship between numerous countries and Saudi Arabia is in almost all cases a tenuous one. For better or worse, it usually involves foreign governments siding with the Saudi royal family – arguably at the expense of the people over which the latter rule. But this time, the roles ...

The Saudi authorities have stepped in to temper the momentum of the Saudi Women for Driving movement. It is against religious law for women to drive in the Arabian country, a fact of life that Saudi women have now decided to fight. The campaign began earlier this year, headed by Manal al-Sharif, ...
