    @Frederic is there any G700 driver in the club?

    Frederic replied to Frederic's topic in Jetour Forum in UAE

    Yes the Hummer experience wasn’t a great one due to the massive weight of the car. The G700 does well in the sand so the F700 should do even better.

    I was thinking it's the same as G700, just in pick-up form. But it will be interesting to see how it shows in the sand. I remember Gaurav was telling a story about the Hummer EV experience when it just appeared, not the best one 😄

    Event details Welcome, everyone i might be a bit boring locations wise but This is probably my favourite area at the moment, and I’ll admit I come here far too often. Normally I’m all about rolling, sweeping fast lines, but this weekend I’m going well outside my norm. We’ll be hitting as many ridges as we can and riding high wherever possible. Expect it to be a bit more challenging than usual, for you guys on the last one here you had a taste at the end of the drive. DRIVE DETAILS Level: Fewbie Plus and above (all levels) Meeting time: 07:00 (SHARP - Without any exceptions) Meeting Point https://maps.app.goo.gl/r5LPyKms6XuG5Un58 Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 8-10 inches of ground clearance. What to bring along: Loads of water, snacks (for yourself), smiles, face mask, rubber gloves, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 11:00 am P.S. Only join if you have a compressor to inflate your tires after the drive. LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE This drive is limited to 10 cars only. RSVP will close on Friday- 12:00. If the RSVP is full, you can add your name to the waitlist, once someone drops, you will be moved to the RSVP list. RSVP will close a day prior to preparing a convoy list. Latecomers will be returned back - Without any exceptions. Members without RSVP will be returned back - Without any exceptions. Please withdraw your RSVP, if you aren't joining, so your spot can be taken by others. Repeated no-show members after RSVP will have their account suspended for a month

    Hey Dear @Frederic, 110 Reasons why it’s a no go (at least for me). Chinese Car Manufacturers introducing new Models on annual bases (like the Phone producers). Resell value is poor as the track record is missing (I have seen a LC 100 with 600tsd Km on the clock for 80k AED). Yes, eg a Y62 has almost the same weight (3T 😊) but it has a proven naturally aspirated V8 (LE), one can repair and spare parts are available like everywhere (Air filter is 60 AED like a Shawarma at Careem). I was at exit 116 (Sharjah) with @Hartzel last Friday and it was epic. Hundreds of cars. Some Jeep TJ and JK models in pristine original condition. Many Y61 and Y62s. Landies and American muscle nicely build for the sand. 10-20 years old cars and everyone admired them. I might be old-school but this is how I like it 😊 And all the dudes at exit 116. I saw one BYD Shark, 10m in the climb they have to pull him out of the sand.

    Thank you @_luke_ for the amazing drive! @Danie was definitely missed in the second half of the drive! Hope he's feeling better soon. @Riyad As for the sick cars, let's not be too quick to blame them… 😂 We trucks either chop the dune or cross it by breaking it, but crested? That's another story! The picture and the statement doesnt quite match! 🤣 @Myrko Sorry for the loss, not the gadget but all valuable videos you would have captured in the drive!

    Beautiful drive @_luke_. Was indeed the right amount of challenging, the right amount of pushing my comfort level to a new height. We loved every minute of it. hope Danie is feeling better, and that the people with sick cars realise it’s time to upgrade to a Jeep 🎣

    We rolled into Salamat at 7 am, seven cars strong. The very first dune split the convoy and had us reaching for the shovels. So much for a gentle warm-up 😄 A few power climbs got the engines and transmissions warmed up, then we worked our way around to the front of Salamat. The smaller dunes gave us a chance to dial in our car positioning on a few criss-crosses and switches before getting into the vertical section. We stopped for a quick break, and unfortunately Danie was feeling sick and needed to head out. Salamat has got the better of a few of us over the years, myself included. Hope you’re feeling better, @Danie! From there we worked northeast into the bigger dunes, picking out ridges and bowls with some cracking views. Then @Infaz car started making a strange clicking noise, so we took him out at the airport before heading back in for a few final runs in Oasis Bowl and 360 Bowl. I reckon there’s some great footage from those runs. Drop your pics and videos below! Just when we thought we were done with mystery clicks, @Myrko front wheel joined in and we decided made a hasty exit. (I believe that after visiting 1,000 mechanics across Al Ain, the culprit turned out to be a loose wheel spacer. An easy fix in the end!) Thanks for the morning, everyone. See you on the next drive! 😎 @Danie @Riyad @Noufal @Infaz @Myrko @Beide Worku

    Really nice drive yesterday, good group, great dunes and the weather is perfect. Thanks to Looper and JPL for their guidance !

    Thank you @Looper for another beautiful drive. The tremendous size of dunes of Sweihan are usually intimidating to new off roaders but all the 1st timers handled the challenges exceptionally well, kudos to all! It was a smooth flow throughout with some small refusals. Every refusal is a learning for all collectively and it was a great team effort. Good to meet new faces and glad to catch up with familiar ones. Thank you @J-P L for your calm guidance every time. @Gab - if you plan on continuing the hobby for long in your vehicle, try to switch to AT tyres. it'll definitely help with more traction on sand. Maybe plan for it during your next tyre change/renewal cycle. Majority prefer Geolandars G015 which you might find in the forums as well since they do the job well and are lightweight. you already seem to have ironman shocks - an upgrade from stock. In Carnity, we do not promote garages or unwanted mods for offroading. Its a beauty of this club that encourages offroading while being as stock as possible. The only mods required/recommended would be a skid plate and AT tyres. As you progress to higher levels, decent shocks (mainly to comfortably maintain momentum across cross-tracks and a bit of height for even better clearance) and ABS kill switch (to remove all electronics kicking in) would definitely help. That's all that's actually required.

    I typically don't drive for more than 2 hours, but yesterday it was different. We stopped a lot so that convoy can do a lot of sidees. To be honest, I sometimes forget how thrilling it used to be once up on a time. There was however a long recovery period and I must say @Natalia Guerrero you have shown tremendous grit and determination in overcoming that bowl. It took some effort, but I feel the sense of achievement you would have felt would have been more than compensated for the temporary setbacks. That is in essence is the off-roading story - know what you and your car cannot do, and do it anyway. @ZEESHAN MIRZA on your first drive you were fantastic, did not seem like you were there for the first time, except on the sidees. Remember, never do anything as a reaction to the situation. Everything has to be pre-determined and be ready for to change course, but it as to be active not reactive. We will always get a lot of chances to do everything we want to do many many times over. So, I often say in the briefings is that "Don't drive like it's your last one" A big Thank you to @J-P L for the tremendous support not only as a sensible second lead but also guiding the stuck cars with a patience I can only dream of. @Zulfikhar Naiyar you were superb as the center forward, anchoring the convoy in the middle and making sure everyone stayed safe. Some Photos my passenger took during our drive, they are shared in the gallery. Last but not the least, @MikeT, @Gab, @Igor Krezic, @Mohammad Javed, @Luis Acostamadiedo, @Mark J, @Taka & @Nikki1007 a big thank you for joining the drive. I hope you enjoyed the drive. Till next time, have a great one.
