Absolute Newbie Desert Drive - Al Qudra - Dubai - 29 Oct 2021

[Belal Aldaour]

Hello,

 

Quick question, I have all necessary equipment's except for a flag, I lost mine and somehow can't find it. Is there any extra flag i can barrow for friday's ride? I believe my FJ cruiser already comes with a mount. 

 

thanks.

Hi Shams, yes, I understand that there was an issue last week that it was not possible to locate the front and rear tow points. I understand that the rear has a hitch with two small eyelets - is it possible to load a photo so we can be 100% sure this time. I would hate for you to find that 2 weeks in a row you there are problems. 

Understand that this is not 100% convenient, but our principle concern is safety and better to be safe than sorry. 

@Wrangeld

pls find the attached pictures of hooks

@Shahid Mehmood looks like you signed up for the Absolute Newbie drive in error. 

You've driven 3 times with Carnity, so I'm afraid you will have to be signed out of the drive.

@Harshad Ashraf - first drive - you're OK to come without a flag. A deflator and gauge and a compressor would be good to have.

Dear Ladies & Gents, 

We will use this convoy order tomorrow - if you're not sure what that means, we will explain all in the morning. 

For those of you without a radio, we will have spares. 

Please bring a compressor as we will finish the drive a long way from a gas station and it's a long drive to fill air (we will guide you there if you don't have a compressor with you). 

See you all in the morning.

See you soon in the sand.
