Frederic Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hi @Incognitoes @marks this is a drive specifically designed for Absolute Newbies. As you have done some drives with us before I’d like to ask you to book into another drive. Thanks. 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Absolute Newbie drive does exactly same as newbie, but at much slower and easier track. If you were fine with newbie drive, then you will enjoy more with newbie level than with Absolute Newbie. We don't have any restriction for this, but recently added these drives to increase the comfort for first timer. 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

With regards to the radio, they are available in Dragon Mart and we recommend either Motorola/Crony MT-777 (130-150AED) or the Baofeng UV5-R (75AED). Both work well. How to program them to our Carnity frequencies is explained in below advice: For your car details, you can just reply on my message: 1) Which 4x4 ? 2) Any prior offroading experience ? 3) Are the towhooks front and back in perfect condition ? 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Sreejith Sreenivasan Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks Fred. I will get one asap. Please see the car details below: Grey Land Rover LR2 No prior experience Towhooks are in good condition Edited July 6, 2020 by Sreejith Sreenivasan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hi @Sreejith Sreenivasan welcome to Carnity off-road club. LR2 (some models) are really good for offroad being small and powerful. Which year model and spec LR2 you have? I6 or I4? Also please share the front and back tow point pictures, as some LR2 didn't had proper rear tow hooks. 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.
