For the regular body wash we go to the ADNOC station nearby Remraam. Its a new station so not too very busy. 45Dhs and the guys do a good job. For the underbody stuff i head to Umm Suquim Grand Service Center, which is more expensive, but these guys do an immaculate job. I usually slip them a tip if they did a good job (which is usually the case). And quite often i wash my cars in my own drive-way with the hose. I find it relaxing and i do my fluid checkups at the same time.

@Naveen Raj @Davie Chase @MMansoor@Jorge Stepniak Felippe@H3 Joe@Archibald Jurdi@Anoop Nair@Looper@Arda Yagcioglu @Kailas@GauravSoni Thank you all for joining yesterday and for your support on this drive ! We all headed out into the sands eager to see what the desert has in store for us. The dunes behind the Remah camel race track are a gem and we had our fill in that area. Everyone drove very well and with a super capable second lead in @Jorge Stepniak Felippe I was free of worries and could keep the pace going. A pop-out took a bit longer as the tyre sustained some damage and we had to install the spare tyre. Later on in the drive @Arda Yagcioglu his Xterra started to have some issues, starting with a Check Engine light, and later on a Valve lifter noise. We decided to take no risks and instead of going up north towards Fayah, we took the exit track down south towards Al Khaznah town. The car sounded fine at the exit but it will need a checkup I’m afraid. I hope you enjoyed a good morning out and hope we can do this again soon !

Be careful with the speed limit guys, during foggy mornings the speed limit is reduced on AD roads. The AD police app will show a notification.

Allrighty guys, below you can see the convoy list for tomorrow. Please try to get at the meeting point by 6.45 so we can start our journey at 7AM. We can use Channel 1 for our radio comms: 446.006 Mhz See you all tomorrow !

@Naveen Raj @Davie Chase @MMansoor@Jorge Stepniak Felippe@H3 Joe@Archibald Jurdi@Anoop Nair@Looper@Arda Yagcioglu With the cooler weather we are expecting, and also due to potential fog in the early morning Sunday, i will be moving the starting time from 06AM to 07AM. (extra hour of sleep yalla !). Kindly acknowledge. I will post the convoy list tomorrow.

Hi @Arda Yagcioglu I have added you to the drive. Please confirm if you can make it.

Congrats @Zulfikhar Naiyar !

Very impressive record keeping @Looper

With the weather getting hotter, it’s good to finished after 3 hours of driving, so avoid fatigue and losing concentration, especially on Newbie level drives.

Congrats @salah2u !

Definitely nice to see these old Land Rover any other Classics from this Emirati collector.
