Congratulations @Kishor

Congratulations @Infaz

Thank you @_luke_ Sure, we are waiting for your comeback 😎

Congrats @Infaz see you on a IM drive soon

Well, there is only one way to find out.

Hey @Yerem Davtyan i can't make any promises but we will be careful. I am anyways planning a more scenic style of route coming Sunday.

Hi @Frederic! Looking forward to Sunday! As my son @Artur Davtyan will be driving the Xterra, I am planning to go in the non-modified Tahoe. It's a Z71, light offroad version. Do you reckon it will leave the desert with bumpers and radiator intact after Newbie drive ?

@Infaz awesome, congrats

Thank you, everyone! Truly grateful for all the support and encouragement. Honestly, Intermediate was always a level I looked up to, so finally getting promoted feels amazing. 💪 Looking forward to learn more and share many more off road adventures!!

Thank you so much guys !!! I love our little community and enjoy being in the sand . I thank to the amazing team of leads and support team for everything I leaned so far and keep learning each time , and thank you fellow drivers for beautiful memories. I will see some of you on the dunes this Sunday

Hi Ana, indeed it's always a good time when you're part of the crowd 😁

In case you still need to buy offroad equipment, we can recommend Dragon Mart 1: Proceed to the EB section: https://maps.app.goo.gl/tTUuZUDpkMycUhjg8 where you will find two-way radios. The Crony MT777 or Baofeng UV5-RH is easy to program and use. If you walk around you will also find pressure gauges, deflators, shovel, and air compressors (buy a compressor that is big enough to inflate 4 tires, not the tiny ones that use cigarette lighter plug). You can also get an offroad flag here that you can attach to your vehicle with a suction cup. Another option is Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/0eWiaSuN https://amzn.eu/d/0gExNNIR https://amzn.eu/d/0bMjxN8e https://amzn.eu/d/0bwX4zn1 Two way radio won't be available on Amazon. Only Dragon Mart sells them (or some hunting shops).

Congratulations @Ana for being our member in the spotlight for this week! Close to having done 30 drives with us, we always enjoy your presence on our drives and hope for many more to come!

Hello @Lvc. Unfortunately only promoted Fewbies can join this drive. I am sure it will not take too much for you to reach the level. Keep joining a few more Newbie drives and you'll be able to apply for promotion online. Thanks for asking.

Appreciate you guys coming! It’s a great convoy that makes the drive honestly 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi @Lvc Great to see you are enjoying the experience! We don't do specific group drives apart from the club-organized club drives, but we have Newbie level drives on most weekends, so they can perhaps sign up and you can all sign up for the same Newbie level drive. Of course it depends if you are talking about 2-3 colleagues or 15-20 colleagues 😁. Anyways, if they have a 4x4, some basic offroad tools like you purchased, they are good to go if they signup. If you guys are together on the same drive it will be a very cool experience for all of you!

Thanks for organizing this trip @Mark B. @Ash S. @Glenn W and @Giacomo for your support and pulling me back from top of the dune. It was great fun, especially climbing at Nagrah dune from both sides. Nagrah climb: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbSqTsaI7AW/?igsh=MWZqaDRudTYxYTNpag==

Congratulations @Infaz!

Hi Desertnauts / Team Carnity, First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who organized and supported the recent Newbie Drive. As a complete beginner, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The briefing, guidance, and patience from the marshals and experienced drivers made me feel confident throughout the drive. I absolutely loved it! The adrenaline rush of driving through the dunes was incredible😤, and I can't wait to join many more drives with the community. Not sure if I can post here about below query, kinda new here.😁 After sharing my experience, a few of my colleagues have become really interested in trying desert driving too. We'd love to join together as a group if possible. I was wondering if the club ever organizes corporate or private group newbie sessions, or if there's a way for a group of friends/colleagues to participate in the same introductory drive. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, and once again, thank you for such an amazing first desert driving experience!
