Srikumar Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 @Dagdag Sofiane @Tamas Hoffmann @Aayan Iqbal @Probir Mukherjee @Ajiesh George Kannankara As some of you would be joining us for the first time after last week's Absolute Newbie Drive, please ensure that you have the following for this weekend's drive. 1. Deflator 2. Tyre Pressure Gauge 3. Flag 4. Radio (buy the one's with a display as they are easy to program) 5. Compressor (as we would not be exiting near a gas station) 6. Shovel (Do not buy the foldable ones) - You get good deals at Speedex and Sharjah Industrial area. Ace is another option but probably more expensive. The below thread mentions where you can get the above items. For programming the radio, please go through the below post which contains a video demonstration on how the programming is to be done. You will need to program all the 5 Carnity Frequencies on the radio. Please program in advance during the week and not before the drive as that would make the entire convoy wait. If there are any queries or questions please post them on this drive or on the above mentioned topics and we would definitely assist you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagdag Sofiane Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hello @Srikumar Thanks for the tips. I just bought the compressor, flag and Tyre pressure Gauge (I already got the radio). I don't think i will have enought tine to go to Sharjah and buy the Shovel. Is this mandatory or can I borrow one?

Even though we all carry shovels, you will really value it in the event that you are stuck and need to help one of the senior members to dig your self out. See you on Friday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
