  1. My poor Pathy gets washed every passing, so looks golden brown when clean, grey after one week of the annual wash, at some point it just looks white for the rest of the year.
  2. @Lisa Pemberton if you need the Viking rope I have a few sets with me, let me know in advance so I can have one ready for you by next week.
  3. Yeah only @Frederic got the Blues.
  4. Well put @Denizzalbayrak. Seatbelt and securing items are so important. Firstly he was in the wrong angle and there was a bump. I believe getting stuck at that angle the vehicle should have been secures by a vehicle on top. As coming back the rear right wheel fall in the ditch and the weight of the whole vehicle was on that wheel, with the items shifting in the car gave the push on that side of the car which made it roll over. Not wearing seat belts made matters worse, somehow one survived, but it seems driver came under the Jeep. Not a good sight at all.
  5. Congratulations @Pancho. Welcome to the hard work zone, keep your shovel and tow rope ready.
  6. There was a time when my wife used to ask, "You're going for off roading again?" After 12 years she asks me "What no off roading this week?" If she finds me at home.
  7. Congratulations @Tamas Hoffmann. Enjoy the challenges that come your way on this new level.
  8. Hearty congrats @Ale Vallecchi. Can't believe that my meeting you at the 2nd December Cafe will eventually result in this. But you have impressed us all with your innovative ways which push us to up our game. Really well done, very proud of you buddy.
  9. @Dagdag Sofiane thank you for pushing your point through. I understand your point and respect it. But this is a community it's not about me or him, it's about us. If you are not aware I did form this off-road club and it's part of my responsibility to over see that everything is well planned and executed. If anything comes to my notice which is not in place it's part of my responsibility to see that all matters are resolved. I have given this authority to all the senior contributing members as I alone cannot overlook a club that is expanding at a good rate. Hope this answers your question as to why I'm getting involved.
  10. @Nivin Dexol are normally repairing or changing automatic transmission and do not really have time for oil and filter change. It's better to buy the OEM parts and get it done by a competent mechanic and garage, but do check their price before you give them your car.
  11. Thank you @Wael Mounier for explaining your side. It is very clear and I respect you and your decision.
  12. Dear @Wael Mounier, @Khaled Abdalla and @Dagdag Sofiane. If you feel the @Gaurav bhai is being strong in His message it's due to the current threat, your reactions are also not very friendly. You are our students and we have to guide you not only for off-roading but also safety precautions as required by the UAE government due to the current situations. As @Frederic said we are all going to apply the Covid19 restrictions strictly. We took a risk to be the first Off-road club in UAE to post drives after we structured a safe environment for all and we would like to keep a safe environment for all members who come out every week trusting us.
  13. @Veedooshee one turn deserves another. Pay forward. You found a number plate Sherlock Holmes on one drive. It was time @Mels Wolf found your missing part. The loss in pressure of tire could be due to the bump and not a pop-out but just the tire coming a bit off the rim. Usually normal inflation does the trick. But keep checking on that tire and get it shown to a tire shop if it looses pressure again. Taking the tire off the rim, giving it a good clean and putting it back on would normally solve the issue. Also driving in the winters will be much more forgiving than the summer heat. Whatever you have learned is the hard way and I promise things will get easier as winters approach.
  14. Wow @Mohamed Seidam. Being part of a helpful community. Not only you managed the Centre Forward position during the drove but also helping out sharing videos of great recoveries. These are really helpful videos, this is what is required contribution within a community. Can I please request you to start a new thread with everybody should know: The greatest of recoveries and posting these videos there. I would like everybody to contribute with such videos so that we can satisfy the curiosity of newbie members who are unable to witness these first hand. Very good contribution, very proud to see such contributing members in our close knit community.
  15. Just my point of view after everything has been said by everyone. The smiles and excitement from all participants makes it worth waking up at 3 am. @Frederic thank you for allowing me to support your drive. Loved the route this morning knowing it could be any level but toning it down to Newbie. Very nice route and amazing well managed by all. My pics have been updated in the Gallery. https://carnity.com/gallery/category/286-newbie-pink-rock-sharjah-28-aug-2020
  16. Thank you @Mohamed Seidam. We are a community and like you thanked everybody for their comments means you understand the meaning of community. We all share one passion and want to help each other learn and grow in this sport. We would also highly appreciate any material you can capture during our drives to help the community to learn and grow. We are already having trip reports for each drive with the pictures and videos being shared in the Gallery drive wise to recall the drive. This topic was started to share other people's misfortune and allow us to learn from others mistakes so we don't repeat the same.
