Mabrook Freddy boy. You are an absolute joy to have a drive with

@Barry I just heard that some schools weren't opened last week and will be opening from tomorrow. So add 10 more minutes in your calculation and some more good music in your iPhone.

Real word of wisdom

in October of last year, I eagerly wanted to gain a bit more confidence to explore the desert in a safe way, after looking for a suitable ride and falling in love with my little ‘ol blue 99. My friend who joined me during the newbie drive that day couldn’t for the love of the world grasp why we would want to toil in sweat and sand on a day off, but i was sold from day one, and the camaraderie and help I got from the start onwards makes every ride REALLY something to look forward too (believe me if I say that nothing else would get me out of bed at 3am....😂). Looking forward to many many more drives to come, karak chai to sip, parathas to eat, and laughs to be had ! A heartful thanks to all people who attended the drives together and the seniors who took me under their wings.

Hope to see you very soon Gaurav! Thank You @Mikhail Lukichev for the AWESOME shots! and Thank you @Shamilfor the video too. It was an excellent first drive with you guys and I'll surely be coming for more

Here’s the link to the drive video.

Thanks buddy, you did great today ! No worries about that little blue Pajero of mine, most of it can be fixed with a hammer, duct tape, and some tie wraps 😂

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO @Shamil Love your editing skills, its perfect. Amazing Pictures @Mikhail Lukichev and very creative angles and close-ups. Well done guys, you made me realize that I was part of today's drive with awesome pics and videos. @Jas Gajaria love your Pajero, very tastefully done as a desert toy, looking forward to see you soon.

Had a fun morning drive after long....

Welcome to the daily fight and road struggles buddy. I consider myself a very patient driver, but sometimes bite into my steering wheel from all the idiots I see on the road and do not seem to grasp the ability to: - stay in their lane - take a roundabout like they should - leave their phone alone for 5 mins - tailgating others and think that’s normal - thinking that their bigger car does NOT mean we should move for them. I gladly take a longer route every day via the E611 that takes me 15 mins longer to reach, but without too much stress.

Let's play a small game like dumb charades for guessing the offroad driver based on clues and hints provided. Rules: One driver at a time to be discussed, so that every other offroaders can make a guess. Clue to be specific and not just good driver etc. but it should be less revealing so that game remains entertaining. Asker can give any number of clues in following attempts, but not on the first go. Game is not limited to Marshals and crew but open to all offroaders we have in Carnity offroad club. Clues can be good or bad or funny but not humiliating or disrespectful. I hold the right to edit or delete any comment that violate with above rules Guess the offroad driver: Never respond on the first radio call, maybe on 2nd or 3rd attempt, if you are lucky.

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

Someone who drives at the speed of light, hmm....🤔

congrats bhai

congrats bhai...

Will do!

i am having trouble extracting them from the gallery due to certain restrictions i think. could you perhaps send the pictures to my email please at [email protected] ..Thanks

Sure, go ahead!

hey thank you so much for clicking these pictures. really appreciated @Mikhail Lukichev. if you dont mind, ill use a few of them in the drive video that ill be putting up in a bit

I gotta drop my kid to school in Dubai from Sharjah. If you know the roads and even which Lanes on which roads to be on. They you'll be alright. Takes me 25 ish minutes to reach school. Earlier I use to drop my missus to work in Barsha from Sharjah. And that didn't take more than 40-45mins but I bypassed the city with what was then called the bypass road. During rush hours avoid shk Zayed, MBZ and dxb shj roads

I'm blessed. Shifting did the trick. It used to take me minimum 75 minutes to reach work after paying all Salik, from my new place it takes me 35 minutes with all the school buses on the roll.

Nice Metro description - with worlds longest sentence. And School hours are crushing everyone. That's why I dont plan to leave office or home during school bus hours, it simply double up the traffic on road and slow down the usual flow.

Very nice review and very useful for tons of offroader including myself who has been looking, trying and hoping to find one good offroad gps to beat motion x. I love motion x but im still using old iphone 6 and wanted to try android gps on my note due to bigger screen. I will try this and share my review, soon. Btw, Motionx is not free either, Its 7.29 AED to install and 17 AED for custom maps. I believe this 17 is for lifetime as I vaguely remember paying them once and after that I haven't paid them again. Anyone having iPhone, must use Motion X it's worth its price in GOLD.

Nope..

usually after a jump or crossing a ridge i am looking for it in the car as it just slides away somewhere in the car

Well done, that means you do hear the first call and wait for the second shout to respond or not. Ok whose next, now to ask.

me

How many times do we have to repeat. Good summer air will do for a couple of months, after that winter air will do.

Nope he is too slow to follow light speed

Guess the offroad driver: Rocket in the pocket
