Hello @Shaaz Shaany chance you could squeeze me into the drive. I'll become a fewbie by tomorrow. Applied 3 days ago.

@Ahmad Shaker, this is an amazing initiative and one that’s going to give all the drivers such fond memories to look back on. Great job, and thank you 🙏🏽

@JamesThorn Well done James. Looking forward to drive with you soon.

Congratulations @salah2u

Bravo @Krishna R.. congratulations 👏👏👏

Woohoo😍

Thank you @Sunil Mathew , yes they will follow or we will force them to follow. Thank you. @Tom B Thank you @Anoop Nair

You guys had fun. Isn't desert dive like an obstacle course? Apart from driving, a lot of fun can be had from the recoveries. For both people involved in the recovery - to plan and execute a recovery or as spectators who either observe and learn or if it is a normal one then they socialize - fun, nevertheless. Making memories as we go.

Hi @Kailas I still savour the exporation drive last year. One of the best drives I have been to. We climbed almost a km. Hope you will have fun this time around also.😄

I made to list my name in time this week. Ready for another exciting experience. 🤠

Congratulations @JamesThorn well done 👏

congratulations @Rajiv Sam well deserved. Enjoy your new level

@James Thorn I still remember when you drove in front of me ( I was sweep ) in NB drive at fossil rock and several times thereafter. You found away to bring the beast that far and sure further still you will . Always helpful and humble and sound minded to suggest solutions . Definitely well deserved promotion buddy . Congratulations 👍

Thank you everyone, see you on sand 👌

Congratulations @Alexanderrr! Enjoy the fast new pace of FB+

Compare with RSA, AXA and Oman as they all are not fussy when it comes to off-road cover. With lot of new changes, whoever you proceed ask them to put the same in writing that offroad cover covers: Vehicle breakdown recovery from the desert (without any limitation of kms and emirates). How many times a year they provide this off-road breakdown cover. Also off-road accident is covered across the UAE desert and not just 500 m from road. I rem speaking to RSA two years back they said they can provide 2 instances of such breakdown recovery from the desert, recently I heard from someone said its unlimited. Remember what you need the most as an offroader is a vehicle breakdown cover from desert and not "pull out" service from desert stuck. This means when vehicle isn't in a drivable condition, your insurance should provide dead vehicle towing service and also covers any damages caused to your vehicle during such extreme recovery.

I vote "NO LIFT" . Only because for me as a beginner seeing marshals and expert driver in stock or mostly stock vehicles helps to build confidence. Similar to "I can make it because the car in front of me made it". Seeing modified vehicles gives all us newbies the thought of. Well, If I had "that modified car" I could do those things. Seeing the many marshals and expert drivers at Carnity promoting only the mods you "need" for your vehicle is great and one reason why I am here and not with another club. If you want a lift just because you like it, that's different. Buy the best one in your budget and enjoy Just my opinions of course.. Its also way more cool to drive at your level without big mods so all of the crazy dune bashing big mod groups watch in amazement when you drive past them effortlessly.
