Great driving from everyone. Thanks commander in chief @Ale Vallecchi for the bumpy ride 😆 Always great to see @Andrew John Melvill, @Giacomo, @J-P L and @Ishak Pleasure to meet you @Victor Socaciu. If you need any more help or recommendations on car mods let me know. Lots of robbers and scammers hiding in plain sight in Dubai so you gotta watch out. See you all next time. Keep Digging. Keep Clawing. 💪

@Ale Vallecchi thank you very much for the drive. After a long gap of 3 months it was good to hit the sands/ bushes 😆 again. Qudra really is green now . The last drive also was with you as second lead. Sorry for the trouble with all my refusals and getting stuck. My son didn't take things as easy as I was expecting. But at the end he said he like it but when asked next week he wants to come again it was a big NO 😂 @Ishak @Batuhan Kulac thank you for the guidance. Thank you all for the patience and help. See you next time in the sands.

Thanks @JeromeFJ for the drive this morning. Very enjoyable and the whole convoy did really well

@Ale Vallecchi hi... I will be reaching max by 4.10PM.. meet with minor accident Thanks

Thanks @DP1011 for another drive that lived up to its title! Good technical terrain linked togeter by streches of "jungle". A good number to refusals and stucks as should be expected on a tech drive, some really soft sand tested the cars and drivers over and above the tight dunes. But lots of good humor and laughs along the way!

Thanks everyone for the amazing morning drive! @Davie Chase always a pleasure to join in on your drives today I had a pleasant and quiet drive as junior supervisor 😉 I’ll look forward to the next one with you mate. Didn’t need to talk much so I could enjoy each and every dune. @Gary F and @Mark B Amazing support guys both of you are becoming great support members 💪 meaning I didn’t have to worry about a single refusal as you had it covered. @Giacomo amazing driving mate absolutely no complaints from me keep up the great work 💪💪 I was watching closely behind with each dune you tackled @Jon L I saw the dedication you had to learn your car which is amazing to see. You took all feedback positively and more importantly incorporated it into your driving style. Good job mate keep up the great work💪💪 @J-P L from reading everyone’s comments you drove amazingly! Definitely seeing improvement with your driving style tailored to your car Jimny power 💪💪

Dear Desrtnauts last minute inputs for the Last-Minute Drive. It has been designed to provide a leisurely afternoon, pursuing gazelles in the new green pastures of Qudra's natural reserve, and oryx, if lucky, in one of their major feeding grounds, near to the National Guard's barracks close to Abu Dhabi's border. We hope to drive until 30 minutes prior to the sunset, across a relatively easy terrain, save a few technical areas, with closer and tighter dunes. We'll enjoy some tea and coffee near one of the many palm groves. If you choose to bring family and friends, please make sure they do not suffer from seasickness (especially little ones), as the terrain will be quite uneven in places. If anybody usually does suffer from it, please have them take a remedy. The meeting point will be just after exiting the Qudra Last Exit's ADNOC gas station (where you may refuel), in the parking area in front of the Spicy Village restaurant. The convoy order below has been designed to have a more experienced member in front of each Newbie, so that the Newbies may be tutored in terms of lines, approaches and speed by the higher ranked drivers: @Andrew John Melvill in Second Lead @Emmanuelle Ifrah at #3 @nithish468 at #4 @J-P L at #5 @Giacomo at #6 @Victor Socaciu at #7 @Abhilash Kottakkal at #8 @Jon L at @9 and @Ishak in Sweep. See you all tomorrow afternoon, in time for a quick departure after 4:00 PM.

Hi all few pictures

Thank you all for the lovely night drive everyone did more than great . Stay tuned for more of these to come during the hot summer. @Cha @waqar @Hugo @Julien Recan @Bravoecho @Stumpy and @Simon D

What would happen if all the park assist systems in all cars/vehicles suddenly stopped working? Would anybody still be able to park a vehicle without hitting anything?

Hello Everyone! Related to the topic question. I am driving Nissan patrol platinum Y62. I am still newbie/fewbie level, so far i am ok,but i can feel that car is heavy, hence kind of difficult to handle if i am tackling the dune. Yesterday i went as a passenger on the drive, which was an inter/advance level, i was with the marshal in his FJ. He did, as i though before impossible things,climbing high dunes, riding on the bale (ridge), reaching the pick of dune and overtaking it. Crazy stuff! The guy has long time experience though. So i was wondering, can patrol do the same, considering its weight? Or this kind of extreme drive is only for Jeeps and FJs, and patrol for more relaxing, safari type of driving? Thank you in advance!
