Hi

i have registered  for the qudra morning newbie drive. I need to buy a flag for my car since i am a newbie. Can someone advise the best place to buy a flat and how long should the flag be?


 

Hi @Adhir Saxena please find the post about the flag guidelines attached.

You can buy them in Dragon Mart, ACE, or AdventureHQ, and also in Off-road Shops.

Hi @Jose Martin if your father in law is driving then he can register with a user ID and signup. If he’s a passenger then I would kindly ask you to join one of the newbie drives.thanks !

Good morning @Tareq Ghosheh @soumyasaklani @Adhir Saxena @Pranjal Varsani @BipinM @Mario Cornejo @Matthew Ticehurst

Welcome to Carnity Offroad Club !

Kindly introduce yourselves with the following information:

1) Which 4x4 are you bringing ?

2) Do you have any offroading experience ? If so please specify.

3) Are the vehicle's tow points on the front and the back in good condition ?

 

For your first drive with us, you will only need a pressure gauge and a deflator, and a compressor to inflate your tyres (the petrol station in Qudra is defective). Do not hesitate to ask your questions on this drive topic.

 

 

Please have a good look at the Absolute Newbie Briefing video as well:

Hi,

My off-road experience is only the masterclass I took around 3 weeks ago with Carnity. 

I have a Y62 2016 Nissan Patrol. 

I used both my front and rear tow points in my masterclass and they are fine. 

I have a pressure gauge, deflator and compressor but no flag. Looks like I don’t need to buy one for this Newbie drive?
