Dear All,

Here is our Plan.

The drive is approximately 200 Kms (in total)

Schedule

Date - 1st November 2013

Timings

2.30 PM - 3.00 PM - Meeting up at Eppco Petrol Pump near International City Entrance

3.05 PM - Starting towards Hatta (There is an Oman border crossing in between. The petrol is much cheaper in oman, so you can fill up your tanks if you wish to. There is a couple of gas stations on the way. Keep your emirates ID or Passport handy)

4.30 PM - ETA at Hatta Water Reservoir. You can have some good snaps there. It is a very beautiful place surrounded by mountains and a Dam in the middle.

5.15 PM - Starting towards Hatta Hill Park (3.3 Kms from the Dam)

5.30 PM to 7.00 PM - BBQ and other activities. We will buy the stuff required for BBQ and will share the cost. (Less than AED 50)

7.30 PM - Starting Back to Dubai.

9.00 PM - ETA in Dubai

* People coming from Abudhabi can drive directly from Hatta at 7.30 PM

Please Let us know if you have any other suggestions.

Contact: Renjith (050 4443620, 055 9166813) and Ali (050 4857353).

Alibhai..we will have to finalize the destination this week.. I am on a short holiday in sri lanka now..will be back after a day and then we will talk...

Thanks saif.. I will definitely drive down there to have a look...

I know its available in eBay.. question is who will fix it for me in Dubai.. I tried to contact a few mechanics .. they have no idea about it..

Do anyone have any idea of the above?? got a flash last week too.. damn!!

Thank you Gaurav bhai... for the email circulation...

Do anyone have any idea of fitting an aftermarket cruise control kit to Cerato 2012 model? I badly need one and have found a few recommentations online..

1. Buy an aftermarket cruise control kit and fix it with a technician's help

2. Get a cruise control fitted steering wheel and its just plug and play

Can anyone give some light on the above? i am fed up with the speed cameras i get every week

Thanks Sahid. The dates are quite far as we have big eid holidays and gitex coming in between. We would love to see you in the trip.

Well, I got rid of BlackBerry long back. .

My Vote is for HATTA...

Let's think about a destination. . Guys suggestions are welcome. ..

No. The full size.

Yeah..but I drive on the Mamzar Dubai side more.. have been a couple of times to sharjah side too.. havent seen a race track kind of road there... may be next time I will have a look.. I drive Cerato.. have plans to upgrade it by next year..

I live in Dubai and I work in abudhabi.. and I travel up and down daily.. just love to stay in dubai.. yeah.. I frequently visit sharjah...

Alibhai.. hope things are great...

lets plan out something small before winter.. just to get more counts during winter.. special hi to gaurav bhai and sooraj bhai... all others big hii...

I went with my friends.. and believe me.. it was an awesome trip.. a temperature drop from 45 degrees to 20 degrees and beautiful landscapes . greenery...rain...drizzle. .. thick fog. .long drive. . (We took 2 land cruisers) . this was my second visit to Salalah.. and I will keep going back to this beautiful place atleast once in 2 years...yeah and every single person enjoyed the trip.. best time to visit is from June to August..

Just to be curious, I am planning for a Salalah (Oman) trip with my friends during this eid.. Any one interested?? Please let me know .

Sure... lets do it ali bhai...

Gaurav ... I think we have to start a new thread topic for 2nd drive... the email notification still says "first kia drive" which may make people think that we are still doing follow up on the first drive.. I suggest starting a new thread..
