My 4th drive with Carnity and first drive with my wife and kids joining me...they absolutely loved the drive and vouches to come with me next time. Congrats to @Foxtrot Oscar for her promotion to Marshal level, and lucky to be on this "promotion" drive. looking forward and coming back for more!!

Look forward to have another great trip with all of you in the near future.

Dear @luis mantecon, this is the minimum can be done in these cases, at least from humanitarian point of view, to help and give a hand to whom he require. However, being part of @Carnity (if I may speak on behave of @Carnity) , safety of members is top priority and most important. @Tamas Hoffmann and @Brette thank you very much for the drive and for allowing me to be the sweep and be part of the recovery team 👏👏👏 Apologies, forgot to thank all members joined the driver today, every one done a good job. 👍👍👍

Thanks @Tbone for the amazing lead and the pointers. Thanks @Janarthan and @Javier Lucero for the support and for handling almost all the refusals and stucks. Finally thank you to the whole convoy for the great spirit. I very much enjoyed the drive and look forward to driving with all of you again soon.

It is an absolute privilege to have the possibility to join a club like this and participate in drives like the one we had this morning, the area was breathe taking and the track super funny. And what to say about@Tamas Hoffmannand @Bretteand @Hisham Masaad, you guys saved my life this morning, you are the best team someone can have in a situation like the one I have lived today. After 2 pop-outs caused by a damaged valve fixed in impressive record time, and the final failure of my clutch with your support simply out of the range to get out of there, I can say very loud we are in the best hands, we are having fun like children but always safe surrounded and covered by the best professionals and, which is even better, the best people. Thank you!!!! See you on the dunes !!!

Many thanks @Chaitanya D@Gauravand @Jeepie for the wonderful drive today. Thoroughly enjoyed....

@Frederic @Chris Meir @Shaaz Sha @Kailas thanks for a great drive. @Nafly Azhar great job being first Newbie in convoy and tackling the challenges first. @Fabien Monleau we enjoyed watching the 76 series. It's one of our favourite cars. Hopefully Covid restrictions lessen soon and I have a chance to meet each of you personally on future drives.

Hi Frederic, Thanks for an enjoyable drive this morning, great to get so many KM's under the belt. Was also good to meet some of the club members this morning, hope to see you all on the sand again soon.

Absolutely fantastic drive today! Thank you @Tbone and @Nabil Bishara for leading us through diverse dunes with blistering pace. I was lucky to be third in the convoy to play with fresh sand, but nevertheless, our convoy was flying through the dunes. @Gok Krish and @Pacific amazing meeting you guys and I hope to see you in the future.

I had the pleasure of being part of @Foxtrot OscarAngela’s Newbie drive and hence Marshal promotion 🥳. It was totally worth waking up at 4:30 am, although the very big Jeepers convoy at the gas station made me late despite the early start... It was a delightful drive, starting with rain and ending with some wildlife, giving us all the opportunity to take some cool pictures and videos. Being the sweep allowed me to watch all drivers and also take pictures of everyone (check the drive’s gallery). Thanks everyone for the relaxed drive and hope to see you guys and ladies soon!

@Nabil Bishara you did a good job...thanks @Tbone @Janarthan and @Javier Lucero for amazing drive with fantastic weather. @Batuhan Kulac good to see dear. hope to see you soon.

Thank you; great drive: Pictures from the "accidental sweep"

@Ale Vallecchi it was a near perfect drive! Always an amazing experience driving with your lead. Well driven by @Shehab Alawadhi @Arda Yagcioglu @Thomas Varghese Looking forward to a “dusk till dawn” drive!!!

Hello All, Below convoy list for tomo drive and we will be using channel 1 for our communication Janarthan - Lead @Veedooshee- SL @Joe Biju Joseph 3rd @Shaaz Sha 4th @varunmehndiratta 5th @Javier Lucero6th @amir amiri7th @Dodi Syahdar8th @Tbone- SW Cheers, See you all soon in the sand.

It was a great drive. Covered a great distance. Challenging terrain also driving in the rain. It was a new experience for me. Spotted some beautiful landscape and wildlife. Thanks @Frederic and all the members of the group.

Thanks a lot @Wadepat2 for the feedback. Had a real good time. Looking forward for the next drive

Looking forward for nice pics!!!

Try for replacement

Please post the pictures. Baofangs have this problem I suppose. Its Chinese and cheap. The earphones should work and if it does, its sure the speaker problem. If you have the invoice you maybe able to replace them from the shop you bought them. Always better to carry 2 radios with you during the drives.

@thomasvargheseNo, for sure I didn’t drop it. I just got it and this was meant to be my first use of it. Yes @Niki lent me a radio ans I fully enjoyed the drive 🤩 and even maybe got a few nice shots as well 😃.

Thanks @thomasvargheseI’ll give it a go and see 😃

Trip report: Cool weather with some rain was a perfect setting for your Absolute Newbie drive dear friends @Juan Carlos Elizalde Reyes, @Alfred Alinazar and @SP kALATH. We had a longer briefing after making sure all your recovery points checked, deflated and off we go. We drove lost of the part considering harder sand and a short convoy. We could make it to Richies bar and venture further into some tight dunes , when we had q stuck with @Juan Carlos Elizalde Reyeswho was recovered with some blip blip maneuvering and a tug by @Jeepie.Nice to see how you managed to do a manual crawl and a front and back pendulum movement to compact sand and come out of a soft patch under the able guidance of Carnity legend @Gaurav @Juan Carlos Elizalde Reyes good to see you complete your absolute newbie drive after few attempts. Great to see you have rectified all the issues with your car . Well done @Alfred Alinazar managed his Pajero well. You will get tons of information on the Pajero forum on Carnity related to your car ( ABS Kill, Transmission cooler, skid plates etc). @SP kALATH had some good experience before joining this mandatory drive for new members to the club. Very impressive how you have prepped your Prado and how well you drove. Good to know you have done the self declaration , and you will hear from us soon It was my first Absolute newbie drive with Carnity and was indeed a great experience. Spending more time checking cars , advising members at the start and making sure all was well at the start was quite a good learning. @Gaurav as my second lead corrected all my mistakes and you all were following his tracks as the defacto lead. Thank you for this and all the guidance along through the journey with this club. @Jeepies reassuring presence with great experience at the back even though with a short convoy was great and since thanks for supporting this drive. Some stats from the drive Please join the Whatsapp notification with Carnity to get regular updates on the drives planned Please have the mandatory gears required - Shovel, programmed Radio, Deflator, Compressor and a safety flag to join for the next drives. See you all soon, and best wishes for your journey further with Carnity!

Thanks @Lawrence_Chehimifor the advice 😁😁👍 @Humayun Ghias have a look at this topic my friend, you will find interesting ideas that will help you unleash the beast 😉

Have loads of fun!!!

Hello Frederic: For some reason I am not getting the messages, but just to confirm, I am going. Will be there tomorrow.

Brava @Foxtrot Oscar Angela!!! Very glad to have seen you progress from your first drives, and proud to have been at your baptism of fire.

Congrats Marshal Angela. Your energy and passion on your drive is something that every member in this club enjoys. Well deserved.

@Mehmet Volga @sertac @Nivin @PaoloMaraziti @Adhir Saxena video recordings of todays drive!!!! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL0SmlZhQhfFbvU_DS0BuK9H-K0DYpNoO

@Mehmet Volga@sertac@Nivin thanks for such a good drive today. With a short convoy it was a great opportunity for myself @Lakshmi Narasimhan and @PaoloMaraziti to learn from the seniors. @PaoloMarazitii hope u feel better soon. @Lakshmi Narasimhan you drove really well and i like your confidence and the way you handle ur car. @sertac@Nivin@Mehmet Volga thank you guys for all the training and practice on ridge riding and criss crossing. I surely have less fear in me than i had at the beginning of the drive. see you all soon in the sand.

Hi - please can I go on the waitlist for this drive?

Thank you @Rawad Bahsasthis is so helpful! It puts me on track for my patrol's transformation. Also, here is a pic from today.

@Mehmet Volga, @Nivin wonderdul leading and supporting the drive and thanks@sertacfor being second lead and great support. Drive was awesome started with drizzle and continued through out and was totally a new experience in Dubai to have desert drive in rain, really loved it. @PaoloMarazitiWell driven, good you pulled out when not well, get well soon and see you in next drive @Adhir Saxenawell driven for first fewbie drive and you have the enthusiasm for learning quickly, see you on more drives It was unfortunate for me to have 2 pop outs and best part was it got fixed in no time. Thanks to all seniors. Over all no struck in the drive, beauty of short convoy and had time to practice week areas. Love to have another such wonderful drive.

@Rawad Bahsascongrats for the underbody protection😃.

Sorry to hear that William. Hope you'll get recovered soon. Take care...

thank you @Shaaz Sha for the report and for sharing your pictures! Hope to see you soon again!

Hi @Zed I am happy to see that you learned the most important thing, If you feel that the car is not making it, simply skip! You'll learn, and you will have a lot of drives so if is not today, it will be tomorrow for sure don't worry about that. Hope to see you soon and see how are you getting better each new drive! Pop outs and stuck are an important part of the game. It's not a waste of time is a moment to learn how to manage such situations happy to see that you learned that already. See you soon on the sand again!

Here is the underbody protection, baja lights and wheels. I also added a metal mesh covering the opening between the bash plate and bumper. The Y62 also doesn't have a fire extinguisher holder under the seat so I added one.

I just want to give memorable, safe experience for my parents and relatives.
