Thing is you give way too much credence to a woman's car buying thought process over the years I've learnt one thing. They have only one category the use to select a car. It has to be cute. That's it, Unlike men they really don't care about anything else. But then again what do you expect from a gender who will torture themselves all day long by walking in high heels just because they look good in them. And we men are suppose to be shallow!

At Iftar Bowl - Once in a year all UAE Offroaders gathering This unique opportunity is not be missed, whether you are a current or ex offroader. It's a very rare and special sight to witness thousands of offroaders joining in one place for breaking there fast to celebrate the unity in diversity in the UAE. It's being held with unsaid coordination with all off-road clubs and approx 1000 car shows up every year in Iftar bowl area near Rafadah in Area 53. Whether you are fasting or not, it's a must drive to attend to watch the union of off-roaders and witness the love and respect that everyone shares in this small world of offroading. I have never failed to attend a single Grand Iftar Drive in the past 12 years and always enjoyed meeting some of my old off-road friends and making new friends. The plan is to enter from Rifadah side with the easiest track to reach Iftar bowl and secure a good spot - FIRST. Meet and greet, play at Iftar bowl - then break the fast and head for the night drive or exit if you like. When: 17 May 2019, Friday Meeting time: 5 PM, the convoy will move sharply at 5:15 PM Where: Rifadah Entrance GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/BoTQvikrc1rheWYu7 Level of drive: Absolute Newbie - Newbie - Fewbie - Expert - Advance - All are welcome Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance What to bring along: Evening snacks, food for Iftar - whatever you like with little extra to share Approximate finish time: 8 PM or 11 PM Please RSVP on the below calendar:

As we all are car enthusiastic at broad but still we have a lot of differences, so really curious to know, what matters the most for you in your car? This applies for all your past, present and future cars. Whether you like exterior the most and if the car is not meeting your taste you won't buy/drive, or is it some specific feature or creature comfort you are after. Here is my list of things that I prioritize while buying any car except my first car - when I was totally noobie to understand how a car works at the age of 19 years. Performance - Speed, Agility, Driving pleasure is PRIME Reliability - Shouldn't break apart as soon as it runs out of warranty Interiors - Creature comfort, features, gizmos, safety aspects etc. Exteriors - If it's pretty or a head turner, works as an added advantage. Feel free to jumble up the above list as per your taste or add more points if you like.

I once had a motorbike, Kawasaki gt500, I named it Lucinda. I was dating a girl at the time named Lucinda and she was so happy I named my bike after her. Everyone used to borrow the bike to go and buy beer for the party. That’s why I named it Lucinda, everyone had a ride on it. When she found out the real reason the bike was named Lucinda she wasn’t so happy.

Let me know if their is something for barado too. 😀

Same mistake I made, my brother asked me to buy a Jeep and I ended up buying the Commander, my brother was like 😳

Don't agree with hot shots. I've been involved in desert driving, marshalling major events and even organized my own event 4 years in a row. Never go alone, you never know when you need friends. We are all here to support each other, going alone will never be advised by me. Minimum of 3 cars for any desert drive required.

I am going to miss this drive due to prior Family commitments. Hope you will have some more of these night drives during Ramadan. Enjoy the drive 😀👍🏼 @Srikumar I will ensure no commitment for next week iftar bowl

In the same order for me : 1, 2, 3, 4. Actually, I don’t care much about 4 (as long as it’s not totally ugly)

@Gaurav bhai Now clear. Thank you.

Try this as that's the closest business listed in google maps https://goo.gl/maps/tvEFccgHNH6aEbTF6

For me it is peace of mind. Everything has to be perfect in my car. Little noise here and their within my car make me go crazy until i know the reason behind it. if i need to sum it up it will be as below. 1. Reliability - Shouldn't break apart as soon as it runs out of warranty. 2.Resale Value - Sometime if a ghost of changing car comes to my mind out of nowhere- it has to be disposed of quickly. 3. Interiors - Creature comfort, features, gizmos, safety aspects etc. 4. Performance - Speed, Agility, Driving pleasure is PRIME. 5. Exteriors - If it's pretty or a head turner, works as an added advantage.

For SLK200 1,2,4 It is fast enough to have fun. It is reliable and it is taking too much attention.

They will then need to get a formal PO from their bank who is financing it and this needs to be issued in favor of your bank. It should be the same procedure of transferring a property from one party to another with both being financed by the bank.

There is always the option that buyer can make the payment direct to your bank and get the mortgage release letter over the counter. Even if the new purchase value is less than the outstanding payable to bank, you can cover the difference. This is a standard procedure. It's just that banks sometimes like to have sadistic pleasure by troubling you.

@Gaurav tried as per above. still the same, But works fine in mobile as you mentioned. Thank You.

Now click on directions and you will see the route. This is new issue with Google map on desktop. If you just want to see the place, open this in mobile and it will show you the red balloon like it used to show before on desktop.

Only heard one Nick name for the xterra. Nothing comes to mind with the Prado. But the ardent Jeep lovers always refer to their Jeeps with the first 2 alphabets their Chasis numbers starts with. So the Wranglers start with the YJ from 1992 to 1997, TJ from 1998 - 2007, JK from 2008 - 2018, JL 2019 onwards. The old Jeep Cherokee is referred to as the XJ. Commander was XK. Jeep Grand Cherokee of the old was the WJ if I'm not wrong. And the newer Cherokee was the KK after which Cherokee became like run of the mill AWD.

Xterras : Al Tabaan : The Tired one LOL on a serious note, these vehicles have no cultural impact on the region what so ever so they are pretty much ignored. When was the last time you saw a local shabab driving a Pajero or Xterra. Prados started off well but then were demoted now rarely seen with a Shabab on board. Specially for harakat purposes or off road Specially after they killed off the SWB V6. And introduction of the FJ. The wranglers and Cherokees really didnt take off with the local crowd until the 2000s. Mostly popular with the expats until then, so they have yet to achieve any iconic status. But unfortunately both wet killed oft and replaced with crappy versions before they could, so doubt they ever will. Not real fans of anything after the XJ and TJ. Regardless of what happens the Kngs here will always be Neyzan and Station.

Maybe we all should make a drive once and test our cars to limit. Trust me it's fun, we use to time ourselves going up back in those days.

The kettle. Because it likes to boil its water

Fatma Jumaa is easy, just look at the initials 😉 I let others answer to you about Bu Shanab ?

Somethings are best left unsaid 😂

Hahahaha.. But i will miss this time.. will sure join coming week to hear the whole story. 😉

When starting as an off-roading enthusiast in UAE, you will come to hear about deflating your tyres, and setting your tyres to the right tyre pressure is one of the first things you will need to learn to master. The main reason for deflating your tyres is to obtain a longer footprint in the sand, and that enables you to drive on the sand, instead of digging into it. Tyre pressure is defined in PSI (pounds per square inch) or Bar. You will find both readings on your pressure gauge. In UAE most people use PSI, and the gas station compressors also use the PSI identification. Below you can see the corresponding PSI and Bar readings. As a beginner level offroader, you should reduce your tyre pressure to about 15 PSI. This is low enough to enable you to drive in the dunes without the risk of the tyre coming off the rim. This 15PSI is also perfect for on-road-tyres. After a few drives, and depending on the terrain, or if you have offroad tyres, you can slowly deflate further down to 10-12 PSI. Take note that the risk for having a pop-out will increase, so don't be afraid to post your questions on the Carnity website or consult one of the marshals if you are not sure about your tyre pressure. There are different ways of deflating your tyres, and each have their advantages and disadvantages. The more you will practice, the sooner you will find out what works best for you. How does a stem valve looks like ? The stem valve is consisting out of 3 pieces. The body, that is made of flexible rubber, the core, and the valve cap. Take note of the following: - The rubber valve body wears out over time. Once you start to see cracks, it is advisable to get it replaced at the nearest tyre center. - The valve core is a tiny component with a small rubber gasket. If you remove them on a weekly basis, the gasket slowly wears out or the core can even break. Carry 5-10 spares in your vehicle. The tyre center often give them for free. - The valve cap keeps dirt and sand from entering into the valve, so it's advisable to always screw the cap back on. The process of deflating / inflating goes by either pushing in the valve core, which allows air to be released, or by removing the valve core, which is a much faster option. How to check the tyre pressure ? Verifying your tyre pressure is really easy. Get yourself a pressure gauge, and push it against the tyre valve, or screw it on (depending on the model). You will see the reading in PSI or Bar. The digital ones are fine, but one day the battery will be empty, so a good old analogue is preferred to have as well. PS if you find that your gauge has difficulties reading the tyre pressure, and you really need to push it hard onto the valve, this is an indication that the valve core is worn out. Replace it with a new one and you will see that this will solve your problem. Which tools to deflate and how much time will it take ? 1) Set of keys, a rock, or anything you might find in your car (+/- 15 mins) PROS: CHEAP and plenty of stuff available CONS: Takes a very long time which you could use for a smoke or a chat and risk on damaging the valve stems. 2) Valve Chucks (4-5 minutes) Buy 4 of them and stick them on all tyres simultaneously and then wait about a few minutes (as per your type and size of tyre) to arrive at around 17-18 psi. Then take one tyre at a time and use your pressure gauge to further decrease and finetune the pressure of each individual tyre. PROS: Fast and Cheap CONS: none that i know off. 3) Stem removal tool (2-3 minutes) Available in most hardware shops. Enables you to remove the valve core stem so the tyre pressure comes down very fast. PROS: Very Fast and Cheap CONS: Be careful not to lose the stem as it can blow out. So taking some spare is advisable. Be careful not to deflate too much as it really goes fast. Use a stopwatch and learn to find the perfect timing when to screw it back in, and then double check with a pressure gauge. 4) Rapid Tyre deflator and pressure gauge ( 4-5 mins) This tool enables you to loosen the stem, quickly deflate and immediately take a pressure reading. PROS: Professional tool for reasonable price, pressure gauge and deflator in one tool. CONS: Might take a bit of practice to get the hang of it. The fake chinese ones are failry unreliable. As with all tools and gear, we advise you to practice a bit at home to become familiar with them. It is also recommended to carry two pressure gauges, so you can compare them with each-other and double check your readings. Often we have seen pressure gauges giving accurate readings at high pressures (35) but very inaccurate results at 10-15 PSI which requires a good quality gauge. Do give us your feedback on your favorite tools !

Jebel Hafeet Mountain, Road, Park, Height, Weather, Directions, Photos, Videos, Reviews and Feedback from the travellers who have visited before. Jebel Hafeet is a great place to visit for petrol-heads. Many residents purely go to Jebel Hafeet for driving fun on the mountain roads and I am among one of them since 2002. Every car I had, I have been to Jebel Hafeet road to test it's climbing, speed and cornering capability - it's pure fun driving up in the winding mountain with a breathtaking view at every fold. This beautiful mountain road was built in 1980, by rich residents who wanted to enjoy their Lancias and Lagondas, a few decades before the inception of the Autodrome in Dubai. It is 11.7km long and has 60 corners - switchbacks and hairpins connected by sweeping straights. Two lanes go up the mountain, while one goes down. There are steep drops on each side, scaring the unwitting driver and passengers. Lanes are well-marked and the surface is unblemished. Jebel Hafeet is the second tallest mountain in the UAE and has one of the greatest mountain driving roads in the world. To everyone surprise, this is the only mountain in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi in the region of Tawam. The name means ‘empty mountain’ - nothing grows here. You can see the folds of the earth from the top and the flat land of the rest of the Emirate. This is a desert environment which gets only 3 inches of rainfall a year. Cooler than Al Ain all-year, especially from October to March. The average Jebel Hafeet Temperature is in range of 30 degrees at the top. Jebel Hafeet is at an elevation of 1,249m. People come here to watch the sun setting over Al Ain, and to escape the heat. Jabal Hafeet is named after the Hafit period of the Bronze Age, because of the artifacts discovered nearby at the publicly open archaeological site. It offers many opportunities for tourists and is a very welcoming place. How to reach? You can reach Jebel Hafeet by driving to Al Ain, from where the highway stretches to this mountain. Get on the Dubai - Al Ain road, E66. It takes about two hours to get to the top of the mountain from Dubai. If you start your journey from Al Ain, it’ll take you 40 minutes to get there. Take Zayed bin Sultan street all the way up. The road is clean and well-paved, and you don’t need an SUV or 4x4 to reach there. Jebel Hafeet Direction Starting Point: https://goo.gl/maps/YoRw4mPyrbwkqLWQ7 24°06'37.1"N 55°45'24.8"E 24.110316, 55.756890 Jebel Hafeet Park: https://goo.gl/maps/oaExGb5TjVsjCJW4A 24°06'22.6"N 55°45'08.3"E 24.106266, 55.752313 Green Mubazzarah Hot Streams: https://goo.gl/maps/fccVdiV6anXeQKnf8 24°06'04.6"N 55°44'59.1"E 24.101288, 55.749736 Al Mansoor Mosque: https://goo.gl/maps/JGkzqz4EQizioe967 24°06'26.6"N 55°44'53.7"E 24.107379, 55.748256 Things to do For a relaxed evening you can watch the sunset from the top of the mountain, then watch the city lights from Al Ain illuminate the sky. Have a drink at the Mercure Jebel Hafeet hotel near the peak. The royal family’s palace is here as well. There are many adventures to be had at Jebel Hafeet. Numerous hiking trails offer plethora of photographic opportunities. Cyclists love riding up and down the mountain road. Several tunnels run under the mountain - this is a hotspot for geologists. There are various hot springs, and the river in the valley forms lakes and pools where you can relax. A good place for this is at the Al Mubazzarah, which also has chalets and a children’s play park. There is plenty of parking space available at the overlook on the top of the mountain. Popular tourist spots include the geyser and hot springs on the mountainsides. Swimming pools formed by the river offer a relaxing and tranquil environment in this otherwise sparse terrain. Most famous is the archaeological site at the Jebel Hafeet desert park, also called the Mezyad Desert Park. 500 tombs were discovered, along with jewelry, utensils, and artifacts from Mesopotamia, Iran, and the Indus valley civilization. They date back to the Bronze Age, between 3200-2600BC, during the Hafit period, after which the mountain is named. The Mezyad Fort here was built in the 19th century. Prices/Timing Entry to the mountain overlooks and peak is free, as is entry to the Green Mubazzarah. Prices for tours range from AED 200 to 900 for guided tours of Al Ain and the Hajjar mountains. If you want a day trip out of Abu Dhabi or Dubai to watch the sunset, it’s best to get on the road in the afternoon, about three hours before sunset. Traffic will be less on the mountain road, letting you enjoy the scenery and the driving experience. Where to stay? The hotel at Jebel Hafeet is owned and run by Mercure. Prices start at AED 200 per night for a deluxe room. Several chalets are available to rent, as well. The mountain is best enjoyed from a tent. The night weather is quite temperate even in peak summer, and sunrise on the Jebel Hafeet is priceless. Precautions If you want to camp at the mountain at night, you have to get there early. Carry enough warm clothes - it gets cold at night, going below 0 degrees in the winter. To take lots of pictures, the most scenic views can be discovered by walking the trails. It is important to carry water as it gets very warm in the daytime. If you’re expecting to do some stargazing, make sure you check the weather beforehand. Clear skies are better for the views.

Hatta Pools, Dam, Mountain, Kayak, Weather, Location, Photos, Videos, Reviews and Feedback from the travellers who have visited before. Hatta Dam was built in 1990, is the ideal place to visit if you want to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of Dubai. There are many off-roading trails around the place for 4x4 lovers. The entire place is a playing field for people like us, while our friends and family relax by the water. The lake offers various fun activities - an incredible way to escape the heat. Hatta dam often surprises tourists with its stark contrast with the expectation of UAE. People come here to unwind from their urban lives and get in touch with the quiet serenity of nature. The views from a kayak in the middle of the lake are unbelievable. You can see the mountains in front of you, standing tall and steep, with the greenish blue of the water under you and the deep azure of the sky above. Kayak rentals are priced for all-day rentals, so you can explore every nook and corner of the lake. This area is a Mountain Conservation Reserve. It offers serene landscapes and picture-perfect scenery and is hardly an hour and a half’s drive from Dubai. Many wealthy people made Hatta their summer home. The weather here is quite temperate - neither hot nor humid nor dry - a great relief from the city and the desert. You can drive right up to all the great viewing spots, and click pictures or just enjoy the calm scenery. The place has some of the best landscapes in the UAE. Whether you’re looking for adventure or quiet calm, Hatta Dubai delivers both. Hatta Mountain Hatta Pools Hatta Dam Hatta Kayak Hatta Hiking Hatta Wadi Hub by Meeras How to reach From Dubai, take Ras Al Khor Road (E44). Use exit 24 to get on Emirates Road (E611). Take the exit toward Sharjah-Kalba Road and go on this road for about 60km. Then take the ramp toward Kalba and go for another 26km. Get back on E44 and take the roundabout exit toward Hatta. From here it will only take ten minutes to reach the hatta dam by following the road signs.

You can get floating donuts and tandem-bike boats which look like something built for a Top Gear special. Various pools have formed around the reservoir. You can drive right up to these places if you have an SUV, to get some nice pictures and take a dip. Check out the Hatta Fort Hotel, which was designed with a retro-theme by Ajai Saran. This was renovated in 2017. This is a popular spot for many roads and offroad enthusiast to lay over or start their drives. Nearby is the Hatta Heritage Village where you can get a look at traditional UAE in one of the oldest Arab villages in the emirate. In the village, you can go to the two 18th century watchtowers, Bait Al Wali, and the Juma mosque (Mosque for Friday Prayer). A palm tree farm is located nearby in the Al Sharia site. Here you can witness the historical underground irrigation systems called the falaj. Falaj was how Emiratis survived in this area and farmed vegetables and grains for their sustenance. You can always ask the locals or other travellers for instructions. The scenic route from the hotel up to the dam is littered with overlooks where you can park and hike to the less-photographed regions of the mountain. The dam only fills up after heavy rain. In the summer you can drive right up to the wall and watch the scenery from the vantage point. An SUV will be better for this. Many people drive around the dam and take pictures near the water. Some people just drive around to the Omani border, because this place offers a good opportunity to drive off-road. Timing Kayak timings are from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm. Early morning is the best time to go for a hike since it is cooler and the air has more moisture. This way you’ll also avoid the crowds of tourists that visit this place year-round. Prices For boating activities, a single kayak or single water bike costs AED 60 for a day. If you want a guided tour of the lake, it costs AED 600 to rent a tour boat for 11 people for 25 minutes. If you take a Hatta tour, the cheapest is for AED 165, going up to AED 475 for full-day tours. An adventure tour can cost you AED 510. Precautions It is important to note that swimming is not allowed in the Hatta lake. If you go after the rains, be prepared to do some mud-plugging, and make sure you have a 4WD SUV with an experienced driver. Otherwise, the road to the dam is paved, but off-road offers the best sights and experiences, and you can easily reach the less crowded parts of the lake.

Yup, even my washing machine is more interesting.

I have a sunny at work. It’s the most boring car ever. I jump in it to scoot across al quoz to buy parts. The radio works and the AC works. I want to say bad stuff about it but it’s basic a to b transport and it does it well. Once you pass 80, it’s like taking your life in your hands. The car goes left, right, wherever, this is why I don’t drive it far. I took it on SZR and I thought I was going to die.

I don't. I like all the bells and whistles. Like my new rental only thing powered in the front two windows. The rears one are hand cranked! Imagine that hand cranked Windows in 2019!!!!! Blech!!!

Comfort, luxury and style and in that order. I really don't give a damn about the rest. Having said that new ride, just got delivered today is a Nissan Sunny with only 65kms on the clock. Total opposite of comfort, luxury and style. But hey its a rental and a free car is a free car!

If you’re ever in Ireland I will show you my 205. I put in a 2.1 TD from a 406, injector pump from a BX with the governor removed, turbo from a v6 espace, huge injector nozzles, xantia gearbox. Scary thing to drive. Pushing 250 bhp in a 750kg car. If I ever go home I plan to put nitrous in it.

Pulled out a guy at the desert near my house yesterday who got crested while taking his first steps with his new Wrangler. We had a lovely chat and he promised to join the carnity off-road club from now on 😂 Welcome to the club Jude 😂😉

I thought long about this but couldn’t find a real logic to all the cars I’ve owned and driven. All had their own pros and cons. A few highlights: * Smart Fortwo: was a fantastic little preppy car. Very little comfort but felt like driving a go kart. Sold when kids came along. * Lancia Delta: wanted something that stood out of the regular hatchbacks and was not disappointed. * BMW 318TDs touring. Was slow but sooo damn reliable and everything was just in the right place. Drove it into the ground. * Peugeot 205: was my first car and absolutely adored it. Overheated the breaks and it rained inside but this car was soo much fun. i have the tendency to go out and look for a car A and coming home with a car Z ! Sometimes the moment just grabs me and I am overcome and star struck by some cars. It’s like they choose me 🤪

Performance for me. But some of the cars I build for customers are pure style, form over function. Totally unusable in every day situations. In my old age, I love reliable cars. Just step into it and drive. But I still have that thing in me that wants to do burnouts and 10 second quarter miles. “I live my live a quarter mile at a time”

For me the first ride was a Honda Civic at 22 years and it was fully manual including gear and steering or Windows, nothing was powered so I just wanted to get a ride. My second was a bit more thoughtful in a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSR4 Turbo tuned by AMG. It was about looks, being fast and some nice gadgets being a US version. By my 3rd car I was already married with a kid, so it was about comfort, cheap maintenance and God resale value. This came in the shape of a Toyota Echo. After I joined offroading all my logic went out of the window as long as I could drive it off road. Started with a 5.7 Hem V8 with lots of joy and regret. Downgraded to a V8 3.9 litre Discovery, loads of comfort. Lastly downgraded to a 3.3 litre V6, pretty satisfied, but no real logic applied, just what I could afford.

Gentlemen. I have been through very difficult situation in 2015 when i was trying to sell my 6 months old T-Fort due severe back pain. Buyers were ready unfortunately banks were not the happy about this. I have heard about auto loan transfer options. Anyone on Carnity have tried this option? Other options available: Pay full amount from your own pocket to the bank and transfer the ownership. (Which i did in my case) Sell it to the dealer with fancy quotes they will settle the agreed price, difference has to be paid by the current owner. If the transfer of the existing loan is possible, please mention the procedure.

Not exactly 1 was throwing water down the exhaust but still running 1 had it pully bolt place broke the auxiliarys were not moving but the engine was up and running 1 had had some how managed to make a hole in the block was running on 5 cylinders but throwing oil all over the place One was overheating but the owner came in a week after informing me I had sent the head for facing but the laith guys returned it back stating that the head is cracked and won't be repaired...that too was running when I removed the head 😂 Not only pressure issues but heat problem including

If someone knows a local nickname for Xterras, I would be glad to hear it. I was also asking myself : there are no famous nicknames for Pajeros ? Wranglers ? Cherokees ? Prados ?

Nope, not at all. That was the best political correct without using many choice word and keeping in respect for Ramadan the description for the driver that can be called a Bu Jasim As mentioned the most popular name for the LC in the region is Station. Yes took me a while to make that connection myself.

I remember PR naming his Land Cruiser as Elsie, much later I realizes that he is referring it to as LC. Hahaha.

Thank you @Gaurav. I just realized I have never been to Jebel Hafeet... on my to do list now.

In UAE the S600 was called Shabak, which means tank in arabic because of its huge size.

Ask them to reply on email as discussed, or write back with the advisor name saying as discussed this is what we agree upon, if they don't reply means they agree to your terms and conditions. But @Gaurav bhai is right, you should have everything in written.

Yes in my word letter 'u' is silent 😂

You mean Ruba, sirji.....?

Totally agree with this, if you or previous owner is in an apocalyptic rush then Tasjeel and Shamil Comprehensive test are borderline acceptable or otherwise independent and "EDUCATED" technician or mechanic is always better. Even better if you take it to your trusted mechanic and ask him to inspect.

Before i joined Carnity Off-Road, i went a few times into the desert behind our community, where on the weekend days and evenings it gets very busy and you see 4x4's and people BBQ'ing all around you. The dunes are small and if you don't do any crazy stuff there is not much that can go wrong. The small dunes however contains lots of smaller bowls and pockets so you need to be careful. But if you stay close to the road you drive around a bit and learn how your vehicle reacts. I've did some testing also over there to see the differences between 4H, 4HLC, 4LO, and different deflation pressures. This kind of stuff is a bit more difficult to do in a convoy. Google Maps Coordinates: 24°58'54.7"N 55°20'29.2"E Again, i will never encourage others to venture out in the desert alone, and i only did this on cooler winter days / evenings where i could always see people around me, and the distance to my house is only 3kms so worst case i could walk to the nearby road and have somebody pick me up there. On the other hand the practicing in that area gave me bit more confidence and when going into the sand with the club was less scary for me and i could focus more on the convoy behavior.
