100 Carnity points awarded to @Frederic as a bonus for "FULL DRIVE VIDEO"

Hi, If the Pajero is not originally equipped, you could go for the aftermarket brackets. Have a look at below article: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/road-safety/184915-aftermarket-isofix-brackets-child-seat.html

I'm from the controversial school of thought that thermostats are absolutely a total waste in these climates and cause more problems than they prevent. I've run all my cars without thermostats even the ones people said are too complicated and would explode even if I cranked them without one. As for your OP look at the rating rather than model of thermostat. The lower the number the thermostat opens on the better in these parts.

Thanks for organizing the drive for newbie. Everyone is very helpful . Its a amazing experience for me. Plus its a good learning.

Thank you Frederic, very much appreciated.

@luwaimn sorry this is for Fewbie driver level and above. If I'm not mistaken you've completed only one newbie drive. Please do share with us if you have previous experience so that we might consider your joining this drive. @Brette very good question also. Anyone who has done at least a couple of Fewbie drives and has confidence to take it to the next level may join this drive. However these are fast paced drives and minimum stoppage time for recoveries is highly appreciated.

Trip Report. What a magical day. Started with a sprinkle of rain. Reached to the meeting point to find everybody waiting. Great to see such enthusiasm and energy. After our newbie brief we headed to the deflation point. Once the convoy numbering was assigned we were off. The new comers and first timers were absolutely putting everything briefed in to practice. After a couple of refusals we tried to move but had to stop as one of the cars was having a slight issue. The car was safely guided back to the road and the owner joined Emmanuel to learn from the passenger seat. We started again and the weather kept us very comfortable. As we slowly but steadily made it towards Pink Rocks, we came across a few camels. Not to disturb them from their breakfast we parked our cars at a distance and started to walk towards them. They were gracious to accept us in their terrain and after a few hugs, pets and selfies we were back to our cars and headed to the base of Pink Rocks. As we came close to the Pink Rocks we could see and hear the roaring engines of those playing on the Pink Rocks. Eventually we made it to the base and settled down. I should thank everybody for some amazing breakfast, looked better than what the camels were having and surely tasted wonderful. As we came to the end of our breakfast everyone was quick to help pack up. At this point we headed to the top of Pink Rocks, everybody made it to the top which is commendable for first timers and newbies. We headed out in a slightly more challenging track which bought us out to 2nd December Cafeteria which was closed for Friday prayers. With a little helping hand we could inflate all the cars. At this point we headed back home, or Friday prayers for the Muslims. And @Emmanuel, @Srikumar and I headed to Al Faqa area for the afternoon drive. Well done to all and looking forward to to many more drives. All newbies please do share your experience. My pictures have already been updated in the Gallery.

If you want to share a ride with friends it’s ok. Once money comes into it, it becomes illegal.

Congrats @edouard !!

Congrats @amir.rophail !!

Congratulations to all offroaders who have been an integral part of this offroad club to receive a formal structure for grading all the offroaders. Thank you @Rahimdad for launching this new structure and thanks @Asif Hussain @skumar83 @EmVarlet in helping to develop this structure from your valued experience. This new structure has been implemented and very soon all offroaders will be assigned to their off-road ranks.
