Fredrik helped me out with this and it’s resolved ! Cheers

Thanks for the gesture @Srikumar ! Forgot to update that I manage to book a hotel in Barsha, so hopefully I can make the 7am without troubling anyone to wait for me 😄

Thank you Gaurav ! I’m a little slow in replying ! Apologies! Yes I am confirmed for al qudra cheers and thanks

No idea what that emoji is but yes I've read the COVID instructions. Thanks

Hi Gaurav really looking forward to this drive ! I will have my wife and 2 kids with me (ages 10 and 6) hopefully this is ok given we are all one household and have been maintaining self isolation for several weeks. since the last drive I bought an air compressor as well so my safety equipment list is complete. Look forward to seeing you Friday !

There is absolutely no good or valid reason to be going that fast.

@Mels Wolf @Shiju Manuel @luwaimn @Denizzalbayrak @Martin. @Pancho @Nizam Deen Hi guys, Please confirm with "TOTALLY AGREE" emoji if you have read above instructions with regards to COVID-19 precautions. This drive will end nearby 2nd December cafeteria, and not nearby a fuel station. Please make sure you have a compressor with you so you can inflate nearby the road.

1. Please see the images (1 to 4) of bracket attached to rear door edge. I don't know what is the name of this bracket. Also attached the shop visiting card. I am not sure it will survive or not. But giving a try as pole which I have purchased is pretty slim and very much lighter than the one available in ACE. 2 .There is 1 more cheapest solution which I found out yesterday in ACE. I have seen the parts but not tried it fixing to my car. May be I will try it if my existing bracket dosen't work. There are U Bolts and various angle connect's available in any hardware. See picture 5 & 6. Which can be connected to roof rack or door handle. Need to choose the U Bolt which is matching the size of handle or roof rack. Also choose the suitable connect which can be easily fixed to U Bolt screw. Once these are connected and fixed it handle or roof rack then we can anytime attached or remove the flag pole to it. P.S. I didn't thought that how will it look like on our beautiful cars. Surely it wont look good.

Please find the earlier posts. You can also get in ras al khor accessories shop. It is better if you get the pole and flag mount as well and get the mount fixed to your car. But There are some poles available which can be just inserted in free space between rear door and spare tyre which is I was supposed to do with My pajero as brackets were difficult to get. Luckily 2 weeks back I got a kind of small bracket in sharjah which is fixed to rear door. I will get you the photo once I get down of my building.

Ok you won me over buddy

Except: Long hill climb Steep hill climb Riding the crest Tugging the 3-ton cars Self-recovery with a smile Crossing the sharpest crest with ease Escaping from stickiest sand pockets Keep me cool in 50 degrees Hit the highway at 140 Still, turn a lot of head after 20 years

Apart from whole car, what is the one thing you love the most in your car and whyt? I love my car performance and zippiestness whenever i hit the gas to max

Go to Jazirah Hamrah just after Al Hamrah Mall. The old deserted town is still there. Also Mawrid area in Ras Al Khaimah . Where Hilton beach resort and spa you can still find old houses and mosques right by the side of the road there Take the scenic route along the beach side to Rak Oh and drive within the speed limit!

Thanks. I have read the rules. N understood.

Due to strong support in tomorrow's drive i have added you to the drive as a one time exception. See you tomorrow.

Hi Jamy, Sorry to hear that. I will keep an eye out in the drive bookings.

Hi bro @RohanH , is this the right map of Dolphin Auto Accessories >> https://goo.gl/maps/ANrrU3NcrmQMz3Yh8 . Thinking of doing it for my Nissan Patrol too 😄

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. As soon as something comes available you can take the availabe slot.

Actually I am very lazy as far the it is regarding the things I don't like to do like Gym, Cooking, exercise. I actually hate kitchen work specially cleaning utensils, so for few days kept on ordering from outside restaurant's but later I started cooking at home. And I think, now I can prepare food better than earlier and looks like started taking interest in cooking 😝 I repeat the menu after few days and surprisingly taste keeps on changing so I would call it as a creativity 😂

I really like the Pajero design/shape. But the things I like the most is the Cockpit and obviously the Rockford Music System.

I was driving on this famous 160km Abu Dhabi to Saudi Arabia road. For one moment I tried what this old boy can do.

Today i remember that i wrote this.

@Nikhil Saju Paul welcome to Carnity Off-road Club. As this drive is for newbie and above, you are most welcome to join based on your previous offroad experience. I will add your name to the waiting list as currently this drive is full due to the limited number of cars that are allowed. In the meanwhile if you wish you can join the Afternoon Maliha Newbie Drive (link provided below) :

Hi I have been driving with dubai offroaders for a year now! have a fully lifted truck with all essentials- compressor- skid plates- lift kits- ropes- winches-shackles - radio- flag etc I understand I am an absolute newbie to this club but I do have prior experience , can you please include me in this drive? I drive a F150 LARIAT- 2019

This is what I did, a bit short.

Picnic in the car park 🙃

Unusual stuff while home isolation?? Well home isolation is not for me 😃 as I continue to work and provide my services for emergency cases as a Orthopedic surgeon specialising in Hand and Microsurgery @ a hospital in Dubai. At work the most unusual for me has been - to wear almost cover all with two to three layer apron and a N95 or N99 mask. This type is protection is good against the bugs but it literally suffocates you , even simple walking makes you feel breathless leave alone doing surgeries. But I am getting used to. - we are paractising social distancing among the staff , undergo tests as we come in high risk areas and we are always in for some changes happening almost every hour. - coming back home to undergo a complete disinfection before entering home and asking kid to wait who comes running to hug me , is quite a sad situation. With time even he is understanding the importance of it. - I am asked to be available on standby if need arises to help in this tough situation where some of the departments in our hospital are overwhelmed. I am a bit scared but I am willing to go , bring it on !! The same principle of desert drives and leap of faith working here too. If my colleagues are doing it , I will be able to do it too. There will be some stucks and refusals , but Hope and God being our marshals to pull out. Stay safe all of you

Your right. My wife has named it after my school flame..😀

Love everything about my car. It's so much that it makes my betterhalf Jealous. 😊

I love that it looks like a crappy 5 door old Peugeot. But when it comes to the traffic lights, I will push 400 ft/lb and roll so much coal in your face you can’t see where you’re going

Not attempted, so no comments You need to sit in my car to see how good the AC works. There was a time when it would cross 140. It can still manage with a lot of parts shaking. But I feel it's too much of a torture to put the old lady through

For a second I thought you were referring to my Jeep XJ 😋

I like the stripped look after she dropped her skirt (bumpers)of in Al Faqa..😅 Seriously, the comfort, power and sleek looks.

For my on-road Range Rover - Comfort is the best thing I love. For my offroad 99' Pajero - Best "stock" hill climber, I found after 5 failed attempts.

The old Pajero is a bit quirky and is not the best at anything, but then again it's cheap, reliable, and puts a smile on my face while driving it. I've driven many modern, premium cars, but i got annoyed at the smallest creaky noises from the dashboard or seats, while this one rattles on like a horse and carriage, but it never bothers me. The fact that i can do small upgrades and repairs by myself (old technology) also helps.

I love that my car allows me to meet such wonderful people on the web and on our desert drives.
