Very nice @Rahimdad. Next Friday drive? https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA04963

@Wrangeld congratulations! Looking forward to reading many many awesome trip reports.

@Jeepie congratulations! You deserve this one. Looking forward to more drives with you!

@Frederic awesome post!

@Srikumar Awesome news ! Congratulations buddy. And 1000% deserved. If I was asked to make a negative critic, even in a constructive manner, about your many contributions to Carnity, I trully don’t know what I could say. Absolutely no clue. You are a great source of inspiration for all members - for off-roading and for life in general.

Lucky guy... What was wrong here? IMG_0901.MP4

@Tbone very well done. It was my first drive with you last Friday and I guess that I didn’t see you struggle anywhere in spite of the very tough terrain and conditions.

@Kalahari congrats ! Very well deserved, especially after Friday evening...

That’s a wise decision I guess... 😉 About your XTerra options, t’s hard to say as it will depend on other parameters like : taken (or even abused) off-road? General condition? But if the 2012 is clean, I would go for this one. Anyway I would recommend to drive-test both of them.

Hi @Lucky sAm, as you have signed up so late at 9 PM on Thursday when drive RSVP has closed in the morning at 9 AM. Your name has been removed from the calendar. Please try to sign up early next week, and if the drive is full, leave a note on the drive thread to a waitlist in case anyone signs out last minute.

I’m not saying that you should join a newbie drive, it’s just that this drive is for fewbie+, not regular fewbie. After 4 drives at this level you will be able to join fewbie+.

@Yousef Alimadadi we remove you from the list, for the reasons explained above. Sorry.

Thank you

If you read the drive post @Lorenzo Candelpergher you will see the mention “with Carnity”.

@Yousef Alimadadi and @Lorenzo Candelpergher Sorry but as you are newly promoted to fewbie level, please sign out of this fewbie+ drive (= at least 4 drives at fewbie level) and join another one. If the other drives are full you can put your name on waiting list.

This drive is organized in full compliance with the COVID19 guidelines. We expect every member that joins this drive to respect and follow these guidelines strictly in order to not jeopardize someone's health and to ensure we can keep organizing these drives safely. MUST READ: Not following these rules and precautions = Not allowed to drive. No Gathering | No Briefing | No BBQ | No Eating Together | No Touching | No Hugging We are only allowed to drive through the desert, as we are driving on the road now. So we will only do the desert driving just by sitting inside our cars at all the times and leave the drive without socializing or coming close to each other. Just like before we like to continue our desert drives through out the year, but this time we need your immense support to understand the strict control and to help everyone follow them all the time. How to maintain "STRICT" Social Distancing Meeting point will be set slightly (100m - 200m) inside the desert track. You individually deflate your tires on the tarmac before reaching the meeting point. While deflating tires, stop cars 10 meters away from any other car. Drive signup on calendar will be closed on Thursday morning by 9 AM. Convoy numbering and briefing will be posted here on this drive post before 6 PM on Thursday. All participants need to read & acknowledge the briefing by clicking "Totally Agree" reaction. Switch on your radio when you reach the meeting point on the set frequency advised by the trip lead in the critical briefing here. Once everyone reaches to the meeting point, everyone stay inside the car at all the times. Trip lead will do the roll call, convoy numbering recap, critical briefing over the radio. Any suggestions or issues will be discussed over the radio too. You can also speak to other members through the radio only. So please make sure that your radio battery is fully charged. Once all set, trip lead will start the drive as before. Refusal and Recoveries with Social Distancing Every drive will have 1 lead Marshal and 1 or 2 supporting senior members/crew. Whenever there is a stuck or refusal, only a Marshal / Senior Member / Crew is allowed to handle the situation. Everyone else including the stuck car driver, stay inside the car - AT ALL TIMES. Marshal / Senior Member / Crew is only allowed to step out to access the situation and do the recoveries: They will wear mask and gloves at all times when they are outside their car. They will try to help self recover through the radio guidance. If not they will use required recovery gear and do the needful (shovel, tug or winch, as required). If at any time Marshal require help, then only you are allowed to step out by wearing face mask and gloves at all times. Drive completion and inflation There will not be any gathering or sitting down together for food-break like before. Once drive is finished, after reaching the tarmac, everyone is requested to move away 10-20 meters before starting their inflation. For drivers having no compressor, can head to the near by fuel station. If drive is ending at a place where there is no fuel station near by, then trip lead will inform in advance so that drivers having their own compressor can join only. Strictly no sharing of compressors, radio, shovel or any recovery gear, at any times. Mandatory things you require to attend the drive Face mask - at least TWO face mask is needed in case one get damage or fly away. Disposable rubber gloves - at least two sets are needed. Wear face mask and gloves at all the times, when you are out of your car. Carry plenty of hand sanitizer and object sanitizer (spray). Use your sanitizers generously, whenever you step out to help or recover. Sanitize your hands before getting back into your car. Sanitize your recovery gears, if you have used them. Fully charged and programmed radio - without any excuse - No radio = No drive. Shovel - Must for every car, to do little self recovery Safety flag - Must for every car, like before Compressor - If joining the drives that is ending far from the fuel station. Mandatory precaution that you need to take at all times Do not step out of your car UNLESS/OTHERWISE advised by Marshal / Senior Member / Crew. No shaking hands, hugs or touching each other.
