The Pakistani's loved to decorate their vehicles and victorias were no exception. This picture was taken outside the Onyx Factory Outlet where Ali Baba, that's the gentlemen on the left, had parked the victoria. I don't know that Ali Baba was really his name, but that's what our liason called him and so we did too, and Ali didn't seem to mind. We used three victoria drivers who were vetted by the consulate (I was over there under a U.S. government contract): Jimmy, Jimmy's brother Ali Baba, and Jimmy's nephew, who's name I don't think we ever did find out. Oh yeah, the gentleman on the right is Gordon, and I know for certain that that is his name. He's employed by the U.S Navy and used to be in the merchant marine.
