Alf Mabrook on your new ride. Looks amazing and very photogenic.

@Moiz wow, it's great to see feedback as to how it actually went and problem resolved. Now this is rare to see.

@Alfie good luck bro. Do share your experience.

@Asif Hussain you're reading our minds. Should we be scared.

Weather is turning amazing and when hot weather couldn't stop us from burning up the desert, we are not going to let this cooler breeze go to waste. Area 53 is an extension of Bidayer area but with medium - big dunes with sharp rise and fall, at the same time suitable for Newbies to learn and enjoy the medium dune range. Where I would like to have newbies, just in case we have our regular drivers this area is truly perfect for rushing your adrenaline and hone your desert driving controls. This area requires precise control as one moment you climb up with full throttle and second moment you crawl at low rev before hitting the gas again for sideways climbs. This drive is meant for newbie - fewbie level, only if we do not have any newbie drivers the level will be revised to a Fewbie + level. When: 27 October 2017, Friday Meeting time: 2 PM, convoy will move sharp at 2:15 PM Where: Tawi Nizwa shops GPS Coordinate: https://goo.gl/maps/KAZQNHFTjvj Level of drive: Either Newbie or Fewbie + depending on convoy level Type of Car: Any proper 4x4 with front and back tow hooks and 10 inches of ground clearance Plan: Afternoon drive from Tawi Nizwa to Iftar Bowl and enjoy some snacks together. What to bring along: Evening snacks,, whatever you like with little extra to share, water, liquids, smiles, stories, enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Approximate finish time: 7 PM, 27 October 2017, Friday List your name and mobile number in this drive thread and RSVP the below calendar:

Great report and seems I missed a good one. Had to give some time to the family departing on Sunday morning. Will be sure to join next week onwards.

Ford is the best selling truck over several years in USA. I have test driven it and love it for quite a few reasons. Never ride in a Tundra so no idea how to compare the two.

OMG. I remember some time back when Gulf News wanted to make and shame drivers who we're overspending by printing their details in their paper, some people took it as show off to have their car printed the next day.

Nice video Noor, good to have a different point of view. You could do a lot better with the selection of music. Well done bro. BTW do you have a drone as well?

With pleasure. We should never forget our roots. I started scared and not knowing how to put everything I learned to practice. But some very patient people stood by me and guided me through every step. This was not in exchange for money, only with an unsaid promise of being there for anyone who wants to learn.

Running different brand of tires would also worry me as the weight of each tire company if different as per built quality and materials used even though they m8but be the same size.

Well worth the wait @baselsm83 you amazed me from the post, to the meetuo, to driving up to the deflation point, to your first briefing. To convoy numbering, to the most amazing lead in the area. I love the flavour of your drive bro. Looking forward to a lot more drives from you bro.

I'm really looking forward to Basel's drive tomorrow but need to leave early due to family commitments. I would like to request for all participants to be on time.

English please. I don't speak mechanic @desertdude

Nissan Pathfinder. Anybody lost. Hahaha.

The lower the octane level the more fuel is burnt, the higher the octane level more difficult to burn fuel. E plus has 91 octane, whereas special has 95 and super is 98 octane. Bigger engine needs higher octane to burn fuel slowly. If you use E plus than fuel is burnt quickly and at times will leave a knocking on your engine. Just my 2 fils.

@Barry I don't feel it's sad to fight for your rights in any day and age. I feel sad for the reaction of a few people who instead of supporting to community and it's members try to discourage you and want you to forget about your hard earned money. Moreover take sides with such crooks who sell you fake or non working parts and then tell you hard luck, we are not going to refund your money or replace the part because it doesn't work out of the box. Even used spare parts have a few days guarantee of it doesn't work. Ridiculous.

Mabrook Gaurav bhai. You deserve it and you set an example for the rest of us. If you believe you're right, never give up. God helps those who help themselves.

Congratulations on your first drive post @baselsm83. Proud of you bro.

The unfortunate break down was mine, but it made me realize how fortunate I am to have such fabulous friends with so much patience. It took time and energy at the hottest hours of the day, and without any hesitation everybody had just one goal....how they could help me out. It was not easy but with some great cordination and great team work we got my Pathy out of danger and onto some flat ground. To find the tools part of the team drive through some treacherous dunes at the peak heat to source the tools. Returned to realize the tools were useless and we needed spare parts and more tools. With the sun setting we left my Pathy and ride out with Gaurav bhai who with a smile handed his trusted Pajero to me. The next day Saleem helped me to source and buy the parts and got the tools ready. Under the w8atchful eye of Gaurav bhai and his immaculate planning we met up and headed in. Everybody was soon at work and Saleem bhai was at his best. Not only did he manage to replace the spare part, but also did his best tire alignment possible in the middle of the desert with a rope so that I could drive back with no issues. Hats of to Asif bhai for an excellent trip, which was well led and enjoyed by all of us. Looking forward to more such fun drives and experiences.

Way to go Ren.

Let me know where to join you. I love BBQ. I could take care of your kids while you prepare BBQ for me. Hehehehe. BTW Zabeel Park is a great place for BBQ and control children.

Way to go Asif bhai. Thanks for including me.

Thanks @Gaurav for such a compehensive report. This will definitely save us from getting fake spare parts from one such crook. If you are free in the evening we can go to the Sharjah Police and try to lodge the complaint there. If they cannot help they should guide us in the right direction.
