Indeed a stupid angle of recovery, combined with the guy watching from a few meters distance that could have gotten the strap in his face....

Looking forward to the drive ! My wife simply cannot believe how i am able to wake up so soon on a Friday morning to go off-roading because normally she can never get me to wake up early 🤣

Truly amazing adventure from looking at the footage. Again a real example of teamwork and combined efforts with safety in first mind. Your winch has probably paid itself back multiple times already. @Asif Hussain i am extremely impressed with your car and its abilities. I thought in the past that American vehicles were too heavy for these kind of adventures but boy was i wrong. It's a blessing to be a junior member of this offroad community. There is sooo much to learn and pass on to others, especially the safety basics. On the weekend near to my place a Porsche Cayenne got stuck and he was revving away getting himself deeper. He "thought" that with that type of car deflating is unnecessary. Another guy showed up and they started messing about with 20dhs ropes. I approached the guy and made some friendly suggestions. After shoveling away the sand and deflating till 15psi he got himself out easily without all the pulling and snatching. It took us less than 15mins and most of all it was by far the safest way. My first months going in the desert near to my house i've seen so many bad examples of unsafe behaviour which could easily result in the horrifying videos you might find on Youtube. People generally don't mean to do bad or unsafe things but they just don't know better. Maybe the senior Carnity guys could make a video like this guy has on his own channel, specifically aimed at UAE viewers.

Never as much as yours @Gaurav 😆

Since the people with too much money got bored investing in wine or paintings, they ended up buying old timers and collector item cars which led to this craze.

It’s Reddit for me. If you register as a user you can select the sub /r departments you want to follow so only these will show up in your feed.

Displacement is passé. Look at electric cars and their performance. Time to wake up and smell the Amps 🤣

The small turbocharged engines totally make sense in Europe with all the high taxes on emission and high price for petrol. It keeps the car light and i can imagine the A110 handles like a dream. It's all about fun per hp if you ask me. I'd like to see how many +400bhp cars are still being sold in Europe. All the big German manufacturers still make them but they are mainly being sold to CEO's living in emerging economy countries where the petrol prices are reasonable and where people don't get taxed-off their socks. (like UAE) Without their commodity vehicles they would all have been bankrupt already.

Doesn't AD have a China Mall ? Not sure if they have the required items over there. If you fancy ordering online you can try desertcart.ae They are not superfast and not the most cheapest but get the job done: Safety Flag two way radio you can get through souq or desertcart, but i've never tried it and i am afraid it could get blocked in customs.

Because I live in one of the newer communities on the way to Al Quadra road, it’s a pain to get to the nearest petrol station sometimes. One of our neighbors posted the Cafu service recently on the community web page and it got quite some attraction. There is a Cafu app. If I’m not mistaken you pay 18dhs extra delivery fee. Fuel prices are same as petrol station.
