Chaitanya D Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 I am hitting bed soon to get up early morning. Starting early before it heats up is definitely much better than waiting for the overheating cars to cool in the hot sun. Well planned 👍 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well planned 👍 That's how we drive through out the year and still enjoy desert in the summer when its blazing hot. Actually this year got bit late for night and late evening drives due to COVID timings and restrictions. 2 1 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Have a great night. Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for the drive this morning. Im disappointed to have had to leave early. The transmission temperature light in my Paj came on when we were in the very soft sand area, and i suspected 90% chance it was just the sand churning up causing the issues and on the flat track it would be fine. But Ale and @Vanessa8580 rightly recommended not risking the engine and exiting early. As it turned out, within 500m of exiting and driving on the tarmac the light disappeared and all was fine. I got the tyres filled up at adnoc and headed home. The epilogue to the story was that as I was driving home I saw a car stuck in sand on the side of the highway and a man and woman looking like they were about to get heatstroke. So I stopped, and it turned out they were trying to “test” their suv but the 4wd wasnt working and they had no rope, tools etc. I offered them water, fixed up the rope and towed them out of their sandy rut and got them onto the tarmac. Should have seen the look on their faces when I stopped and reversed back to them, they had been waiting for 30 mins in the sun. So I did my good deed for the day instead of having the longer desert drive - not too shabby :-). See you all next time ! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaitanya D Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Magnifico drive @Ale Vallecchi. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive at Faya and Mahafiz. Absolutely no stucks and tugs, just few refusals. Well driven everyone 👍 Thanks @Vanessa8580 and @Denizzalbayrak for all the help.some images uploaded in gallery Edited July 3, 2020 by Chaitanya D 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Anish S Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Thank you everyone for the successful drive, we had no stucks but few refusals that was successfully recovered with the guidance of @Ale VallecchiVallecchi @Vanessa8580 @Denizzalbayrak...there was no need for tow rope, n not even shovel actually. Under the leadership of @Ale VallecchiVallecchi, it was a great opportunity to learn different new techniques since the drive was technical and challenging. @Vanessa8580 did an amazing job as always and today in the middle of the convoy she ensured communication is effective and she kept the convoy together running up and down assisting us. @Denizzalbayrak our sweeper had a tricky job and he did amazingly well...he also helped me when I got refusals and provide valuable guidance to recover and also adviced rerouting when needed. I was driving behind Dr. @Chaitanya D and It was obvious that he is now very comfortable with the Xterra n I can see massive progress. When the track was getting messed up, it was so nice to see him taking the initiative to do minor rerouting and changes to tackle the dunes better. Keep it up... 4 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the decision was for the best, just in case. You will be back on the sand in no time. And it's great that you managed to get some extra action, while (most importantly) literally saving the poor couple from a sun stroke, and possibly a damaged car. Well done!!! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
