No, it's nothing to do with the forum (AFAIK, anyway). I get them in my email, for some reason. Along with the ads for private jets (out of North Africa), and invitations to Jewish celebrations in Tel Aviv. At least whoever's sending them doesn't seem to be prejudiced.
FWIW, I'm not Jewish, and have never been closer to Morocco or Israel than Switzerland & Austria.

It's not "camel-talk", it's frog-speak. Or French, if you care to be polite :-) |

The Dirham does about 10 a dollar so $33.5k for a three year old diesel Beamer 3 series at 45k miles.
Not feeling the vibe here, but maybe it has top spec and condition?

No, they're all WAY more expensive than anything I'd ever consider buying. $33.5K is almost exactly 4X what I paid for the most expensive automobile I've ever owned. |
