Thank you to all for getting me out of the desert this morning following my mechanical retirement from the drive. It was good fun and I learned a lot in a short space of time - my favourite being Mehmet's steering wheel wiggle. I'll be at the garage tomorrow and back on the sand inshallah 😃🙏

Hi

 

we had an awesome drive in the absolute newbie and both Our Marshal and Mehmet were helpful, provided good knowledge and also had the patience. I specially enjoy the Mother Nature in its true form and loved the Dunes. It was like a dream of myself driving in the dunes. Understood the capability of machine Pajero abs happy to have bought it. 
thank you Carnity for this wonderful experience. Looking forward for many more such rides.

It was a pleasure to meet you all this morning and you all did amazingly well for first timers ! We had a minimum of refusals and stucks despite the quite challenging track. I had a very good time and I hope you all enjoyed your first drive in Carnity club. 

Moving forward you all will be joining the Newbie drives and not an Absolute Newbie drive. Drives are announced every Sunday at 11 am, and they go live on Sunday at 7:00 pm. Due to the high demand, these drives get full in about 10 minutes, so please be online at 7 pm to book your spot. If you miss a spot, put your name on the waitlist asap. Generally, by Thursday with dropouts everyone does get a spot if they have waitlisted. 

For the next drives, please bring along a deflator, pressure gauge, flag and radio as a minimum. 

  • Learn to deflate your tires and checking them precisely
  • Learn to fix a flag on your car
  • Learn to program and fully charge your radio

Also you can  join the Carnity Whatsapp Drive Notification to get the latest updates on the drives, so that you can RSVP on time for the next weekend's drive.

Please have a look at below topic which describes the tools needed for every level. There is a separate tutorial inside which explains which radio we recommend and how to program them: (Please do not buy the Baofeng 888S spare radio we gave you, as these cannot be programmed without a special cable and software).

 

Please have a look at below grading structure that explains various off-road levels:

 

See you all soon again in the sand ....

Thanks @Felix Obstshe's fixed and I'm hoping to pick up the old girl from the garage later.

Not a mechanical issue as such but I haven't been able to replace the rear tow ball with a hook just yet as I'm told the part isn't available locally at the moment. any suggestions or alternatives would be very welcome.

Hi Neil, 

I recommend Offroad Zone. My experience with those guys was always great. 

Regards, 

Felix
