Default Pics from IS's First Long Trip to Khasab, Oman
Went to Khasab, Oman over the weekend on family trip. Needless to say, I refused to ride in any other car and had to take the IS on its first long drive. It handled like a dream on the curves in the mountain roads. For my readers who are not residing in the middle east, Khasab is a popular tourist spot with sea on one side and mountains on the other side. We also went on a half-day boat trip and were lucky to see some dolphins.

By the way, the IS is the most comfortable long drive I've ever taken. The ISP mode wheels (265mm in rear) with the wide tyres made it handle well and reminded me of my Cayman !!!

Nice. Are tints allowed there? I imagine it gets really hot there and I'd do a limo tint all over if I was in your place.
