    Wow @Gaurav bhai. Good thinking. Start from Faya around 4pm to miss the rush and idiots, wonderful play time and loads of learning opportunity, some great dunes on the way to Fossil Rock and some play time there too to be able to put what we learn to practice. I'm totally in for this one.

    @Abdul Basit Khan in that case I'm in. Post the drive so I can sign up.

    Love the idea and we'll done Basit for a fantastic homework. I would have loved to join, but both Thursday and Friday is out of the question for me. I could join if it was on Saturday as we have some off days for Eid.

    The best night out ever. Started with meeting up a couple of guys who were huge fans of Mitsubishi Pajero. So we joined them for a quick drive down to the side of Fossil Rock, sat there for some time while waiting for Sree. In this time we shed tears and inhaled some smoke due to the bon fire and enjoyed some Argentina Green Tea and some roll away cigarettes. Soon Sree was waiting in Khatam, so we said good bye to our new friends and headed out to get Sree. Now it was time for the real stuff, so we drove high and we drove low all the way to the top of Fossil Rocks. The steep fall was really in bad shape so we decided to go around waving at our new friends again. Between Fossil Rock and Camel Rock I lost my bearings and we ended up in some really nice virgin dunes and at the back of Camel Rock. It was a bit tricky to manuevre between the 2 rocks to come to the front side, but we made it without any issues. We were in good luck as from Camel Rock to Data we again got a patch of virgin dune on the top which connected with another and another. We never came down from the rolling dunes till the back side of Faya. After a bit of a struggle and heading slightly left of where we were, we ended up straight in top of Faya. We settled in with the amazing cool breeze and enjoyed Aloo Parathas thanks to Gaurav bhai and some cold drinks. Loved the drive and finally other clubs have come out to play since the weather is getting better. Loved the drive, the company, the food, the smiles, absolutely everything about this drive. As briefed to the participants gear up because a selected few would get to enjoy the best fun in about 4 months time.

    Hi all.

    Rahimdad replied to Byron's topic in Introduce Yourself

    Welcome to Carnity.

    Where do I start. A few people got a bit late for the meet up, and were not well prepared, so we started almost an hour late, with a late meet up of 4:30 and the sun to set at 7 pm we were pressed for time. We headed to the deflation point and after a quick deflation and a driver briefing we headed in to realize one of the vehicles was not properly deflated. After a quick remedy we again started and spotted a few Gazelles right at the start. Had a feeling that it was going to be a fantastic day. After about 10 minutes in to the desert we had a pop-out, after fixing the pop-out we realized that another vehicle had low pressure on one of the tires, so we tried inflating it, but less then 2 minutes and the radio once again echoed that the same tire was running low pressure again. After a little inspection we determined that the valve must be faulty or leaking air due to sand caught in the valve. So we changed the valve, inflated it again and after a few minutes the same issue. At this time we tried to change the tire but did not have the tools to do the same, so we inflated it to about 38 PSI and headed out through the track. As we came out to the road we checked again and it was 36 PSI, the conclusion now was that there was some sand stuck in between the rim and the tire which was deflating when the pressure was brought down. After a quick conference we decided to inflate and head to the Qudra Lakes by road. We came to a good spot, the Qudra Lakes seemed fairly enpty. Quickly we got the fire going and the chicken was up for the BBQ from my side and from Saleem. Thanks to Basel who helped with the BBQ and did a very nice job. After enjoying some soft drinks with the BBQ chicken we sat around and chatted till very early the next morning. Being inflated we just had to drive out and back to our homes. In short a very short desert drive, but well compensated by some delicious BBQ and relaxing chat. Thank you to all participants, I really had fun.

    Wow, what a heated debate. Don't know about Awafi, |I thought that was for drifting, if you want action close to the road, either Big Red in Bidayer area on the way to Hatta, you can even rent quad bikes there. Or Faya, on the way from Sharjah to Maliha/Kalba, you can rent quad bikes there as well. All the very best, hope to see you soon on our drives.

    @Richard Mellish In this part of the world there are mostly mechanics who have learned the trade from their piers and its mainly a trial and error situation. They do not understand the vehicle and where the problem is originating from, just try to make repairs for it to run for a time without problem and than there is a bigger problem to tackle. When you go back they will justify by saying that this problem was not there before and how could they fix something which was not broken then. As a result you end up paying twice for the same job. Among the very few I have come across who actually bother to tell you where the problem is originating from and needs fixing before the issue at hand can be fixed, start from the very bottom of the problem and work up. It is in my nature to thank and appreciate their work. Although I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, but @Barry and @shadow79 are 2 of them on this forum who really impress me. Looking forward to meeting you soon @Richard Mellish, seems like we can really hit it off well.

    @Barry, I have just recently seen @shadow79 get down and dirty with cleaning the lines on my R50's AC lines to make sure the new (used) compressor will not face the fate that his Rav4 went through and I can totally understand. I hope Saleem Bhai considers me to be one of his better customers.

    @Gaurav bhai all the credit for the success of this drive goes to @waqaszohair for the concept and an outline, and to you for immaculately planning the whole trip. It was an amazingly different trip which I would have never imagined possible. Many thanks to all the members who gave their time, effort and patience to make it a roaring success. A special occasion and a brilliant video and montage to make this trip embedded in our mind for ever.

    We are going to have BBQ near the Qudra Lakes, you can join us from road around 7 pm and we can enjoy your skills. Below is the way point to where we will lay our BBQ skills to test in case there is lack of space, my car will be full. Sorry https://goo.gl/maps/qS12TUPiAYK2

    @Sidshk please advise your mobile number so that I can add your name to our main list @skumar83 please register yourself in the calendar as well.
  22. Rahimdad
    It would also be helpful to bring along a 2 way radio, air compressor, something to help you deflate your tires and a proper tire pressure gauge.

    Unbelievable, what the hell was he thinking. Its like the blonde walks into the spare part shop and asks for the cover that read 710. The guy went crazy pulling his hair till he start showing her all the parts and she finally pointed out the one that read OIL when the right way up.
