Looking forward to the drive, be careful along the truck road E75 the speed limit is 100km and there are lots of traffics cameras, it made one of my drives very expensive 😠

Dear Desertnauts A few words about tomorrow's New Year drive. It will take place in an area, in the Ghantoot district, that is both diverse, in terms of terrain, so to allow scaling the drive up and down in terms of difficulty, as well as diverse in terms of flora and fauna (palm grove, some ghaf trees, possible camels and oryx). Bring some refreshments, as we plan to take a break before sunset to enjoy the hour. The meeting point is just after a left turn off of E14 (Faqa Road), a couple of Kms. after the intersection with E75. There are a construction area and a military barracks nearby. The convoy order will be as follows: @Aser in Second Lead @Shary at #3 @Stuart G at #4 @Dipu Francis at #5 @Alex M at #6 @Andrew John Melvill at the Center position @nickJp at #8 @ArSaLaN at @9 @J-P L at @10, and @Christian Andras in Sweep. Enjoy a wonderful last day of 2024, and see you in 2025.

@Gaurav I'll be on Yukon

Number one point to remember is that Sony makes all the camera CCDs used in almost all of them DashCams. So often times there’s hardly any difference between the run of the mill Chinese made dash cams. Most of them are made in just a few factories. Of course there are differences based on the cost, e.g. high-end dash-cams will have newer most sophisticated CCD and better connectivity and app features. My go to recommendation was 70 Mai for the same reason but one of them burnt on me when I was hot swapping the memory card while it was in operation. I had done it many times in a past model but the new one just died. I have seen good reviews of VIOFO. Suggest you view some YouTube reviews before you take a plunge.

Thank you Gentlemen for joining this drive - This one certainly is one of the best drives I have had - Impressively handled by everyone - @ChrisW Perfect SL with the right distance , followed by @Christian Andras, which lead to confusion on - for whom are my messages / inputs - well done and great to have you , first one with me . @Sandeep Nayar - Appreciate your messages mate, and the spirit of allowing me the freedom to move ahead and not hold the convoy - Very well driven ! @Luke K P - As always great to have you ( Certainly major amount of Credit goes to Ginger Chai ) am sure you and our sweep @Dodi Syahdar had good fun with the machines you were operating ! Below snapshot of our NFS drive ! and link to GPX file : https://www.gaiagps.com/public/FyYmXdaCOwj2tjJRZP0k9Ulx Am glad to have signed off 2024 morning with this amazing drive - Thank you all again !

Congrats to get your hands on the famous beast in Carnity.

Thanks for the fun drive everyone. Was great to get some big bowl laps in on last day of 2024! Hope you all Have a happy new year!

70 mai A800 (I think) has been great for me. Simple. Used it for about 3 years. Has a front and rear cam It's currently USB charged, so no parking recording. Video is crystal clear and great in the dark. When that dies at some point I really want to look into the T'EYES CC3 360. I wasn't aware you could get after market 360 cams and the main screens they sell (CC3) are pretty powerful compared to 99% of the underpowered Android devices around. https://www.teyes.com.au/products/cc3-360-camera-system

I have an old VIOFO one still working, check the latest models!

What is the latest and greatest in dash cams these days? I'm tired of the insane drivers around me and want to record everything from front and back. No so worried about recording when parked, as I have a wall on one side, and other family member park on the other. The garmin series of dashcams is small and nice but requires a subscription for pushing data to the cloud etc.. the WOLFBOX series of mirror replacements seems like a cool idea. but kinda skeptical of how the mirror would hold on using rubber straps while offroading. What have you been using in 2024, and what do you like or hate about it? Hardwired? or usb/cigarette lighter powered?

Many thanks again @DP1011 for a highly enjoyable drive today. Some great lines, good challenges, and thrills with no spills. Perfect end to 2024!
