Well with Javier foot, make it 5500 rpm.

Poor guy, the fun only starts at 4,500rpm

Thanks @Emmanuel for posting such a wonderful drive, really looking forward to this one now. After discussion with all our senior members I would like to invite @Shamil and @Jas Gajaria to join us for this drive so that we can get a first hand look at your driving skills in this area and pave a path forward towards developing you towards the next level.

Congrats @Frederic. You are a gem of a person and so down to earth and helpful. What goes around comes around and we found a very good friend in you. You have a very good sense of humour, positive energy, and a level head. Being a DJ I guess you keep searching for that rhythm, you add to the melody of the Carnity club.

is he depending on a working and driven'in rear diff ?

I was thinking it was Superman but then I remember superman travels faster than the speed of light.

You have had a very long vacation. Lucky man. give your car to me, will get the 600 km done within 2 days.. 😁

Small thing to add: Gaia has a desktop version, which is very useful to store, edit, or make new tracks from the comfort of your desktop PC. www.gaiagps.com

Sri with his night vision ?

Nope. This shows you guys don't know much about other fellow offroaders with who you drive almost every week. Time to get know each other more now.

You have no idea what a nightmare has been not to exceed 3000 rpm 😭

haha.. I wish it was that simple, I have to drive it for a while and let the gears cool down, I don't have to exceed 3000 rpm and not exceed 100 km/h 😩

You guys are driving in a vacuum?

It's been quite a while since we have paid a visit to our beloved Bedayer-Area 53. As the weather is still hot and humid, let's start before dawn, so we can enjoy the sunrise and a fast-paced drive from Badayer Shops to Iftar Bowl, or Super Bowl, or even, if the convoy is responding well, Al-Shuwaib... Level of drive: Intermediate When: 13 September 2019 Meeting time: 4:00 AM, the convoy will move sharp at 4:15 AM Where: Badayer Shops at Nazwa, before Madam R/A GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/GMrTGmx4J5L2 Plan: Early morning drive through the Pyramids - Area 53 - Iftar bowl - Super Bowl What to bring along: Evening snacks - whatever you like with little extra to share, water, liquids, smiles, stories, and enthusiasm. Approximate finish time: 9 AM Please RSVP the below calendar event

Following on from the school run thread, @Frederic made a good point. The small car is expected to make way for the big car. This is one thing I hate. I get sick of people tailgating me and flashing their lights every day, no matter what lane I’m in. I drive a fiesta. It’s a small car but it has a modified engine twice as large as the standard car and probably more horsepower than the guy who dreams of owning a land cruiser but could only afford a prado. My brakes are also modified. Nothing gives me more pleasure than brake checking the guy behind with the flashing headlights then accelerating away faster than he can only dream to. If you tailgate smaller cars, you are a loser. No ifs, no ands, no buts. The real reason is you are trying to compensate because you have a small p****.

Thanks for the invite @Rahimdad, excited to see you all on Friday!

Wifey always asks me, just pull in here and put your flashers on it’s fine, I’ll just get the food and come out. I always have to remind her it wasn’t fine last time I did and got fined 500 dhs for parking offences. Just because everyone else seems to get away with it doesn’t mean you will. Murphy’s law.

@Fuad?? I remember someone in the group saying during my first drive. Dont worry about him. He will reach at lightning speed.

Im looking forward to that 😎

😂 now its not a bachelor life anymore🥴

Did someone said Waking up in morning 😲

in our search to have a decent GPS app to guide us in the desert, today i wanted to review and compare MotionX and Gaia GPS, which are both apps specifically tailored to Off-Road driving or hiking. As i had an old Samsung Note 5 laying around which had a very big screen, i decided to use that phone and mount it in my car to use it as a dedicated GPS. Unfortunately when i found out that MotionX is only for IOS platforms, i was forced to look for something else and stumbled upon Gaia GPS. In the Youtube tutorial below, this gentleman makes a great comparison and it's worth having a look at: As a summary, i come to the following: MotionX: + Completely Free with full functionality + Easy to use, set up - No Android support - No possibility to create multi-bend tracks Gaia GPS: + Easy to use and set up + Customizable Bar Tiles on the home screen + Overlay Maps + Possibility to create multi-bend tracks. - FREE version only has only 1 basic Topographic map, but the paid version costs 10USD per year that gives full functionality and satellite map. Full Premium Membership costs 30USD for year in case you want to add more maps and resources, but is more tailored to hiking. https://help.gaiagps.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003524547-Free-vs-Membership-vs-Premium-Membership Surely there will be more specific PROS and CONS once having used these programs. Please add them in your replies so we can share our hints and tricks to use these great apps. Both apps support map download, so you can download the area in case you have no data coverage in that area, or if your phone simply has no SIM card in it So there you have it, two apps which are perfectly capable of doing the things we want them to do for our Off-road adventures in the UAE deserts. Do share your questions, suggestions, experiences !

Nope Clue: Light speed driver only depends on light and its speed. Common guys.

I can imagine, may be now you can explore the whole rev band response.

Nope, Superman is not dependent on any light, sound, atmosphere or vaccuum but this light speed driver is.

Thank You Everyone! Looking forward to the next drive with you guys (y)! Cheers, Jas
