I will be joining along with some family members.Hope it is not an issue.

@Atif bhai it's more fun with you and your family. Glad you can join.

Thats me!

What about this one ? Seen today at Serkal Avenue...

Yep same here ! Happy to join and meet the Carnity family !

So.....after going through recomendations.. Lifted the carpet and found no missing covers so i put a heat mat under the carpet which actually improved on the heat from the belly but realised i was still slowly baking my legs when driving, next i thought of was the cabin heater coil, realised it sends hot coolant through it all times even with the heater is off so disconected the hoses and rerouted/ bypass them back to radiator, problem solved. Question is do these old paj's have a valve that controls flow of coolant into the cabin heater coil? Or is it just free flow.

A bit ironic because my "pepe" or grandfather drove this one on Sundays. He sold it when i was 16 to a young guy for a measly 1500 Euros while the car was looking like new. Back then the 1976 1303 or 'elephant foot' was not yet a desirable classic car.

2 years ago the UAE government changed the law to make it illegal for dealerships to cancel warranty for cars serviced in outside garages. https://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/uae-car-owners-relief-compulsory-maintenance-at-agency-abolished-2016-02-09-1.620419 As long as you stick to the official Nissan service schedule, use genuine parts and keep all your receipts, you can service your car wherever you like. DED take all complaints seriously and will fight on your side against any dealer who tried to cancel your warranty.

Brilliant drive and immaculately planned by @Gaurav bhai. Well supported by @skumar83, @EmVarlet, @Mujtaba, @hossein and @BIG T. Everyone met on time and after a quick brief and deflation we were off. We drove around Big Red with a few ideas for entry, but not daring to enter the forbidden zone. Once the circle was complete we had a slight issue with one of the vehicles which was soon sorted out and we were off to some amazing rolling dunes. Everybody managed well and I got really lazy at sweeper duties. We played all the way to Pink Rocks where we were able to attempt through the dug out area, all the ars managed to touch the rocks on top as they safely made their way down again. At this point we crossed over to the other side of Pink Rocks where we found a nice spot and everybody took out their goodies. A good drive meant we were hungry for some food and refreshments. As we sat down talking about the day, we also shared some cool stories to go with the snacks. But this was not it, we were all hungry but this time not for food, but some more action. @Gaurav bhai obliged and we were off again. We reached the Big Red again in a matter of 20 minutes which is a record time. Everybody managed well and it seems people can see better in the dark with zero stucks. At this point we decided to play on the back side of Big Red and the 10 minutes turned out to be a little over an hour. We had 3 stucks in places where a tug or pull would not do. So we got our shovels out and started digging. After all the digging its surprising that the Big Red is still there. At this point we decided we had enough and headed out where we inflated and had another nice chat with tea. This also signalled an end for @hossein ride as he collected his car from the meeting point and we headed back. No surprise that @BIG T managed so well, really happy with his progress, patience and understanding of the different situations we've been through. Respect my 3 star captain.

I have just marked the simplest track to new year site so that people driving 4x4 can directly reach within 3 minutes without getting lost in bushes or small dunes. This track doesn't need deflation, engage on 4x4 and keep gas little high to traverse through.
