  1. That's a good sign and might mean you'll be infected with the Carnity virus
  2. Totally agree @Xaf I also mentioned this in my briefing to emphasize on the fact that if you buy a tool like a radio or deflator, that you should at least do an effort to test it, read the manual, and if still in doubt approach us. I understand that learning the off-road hobby takes some time but the forum and the tons of MUST READ topics were made to smoothen the process of learning. I’ve seen two types of drivers so far. People that have joined the club, took some time to got through most of the posts and information to get themselves familiarized, and people who just click on “going” without having the slightest clue on what they’ve signed up for. I guess we can all guess which type of persons will learn this skill the quickest...
  3. TRIP REPORT CONVOY 2 Almost everyone made it on time today which was a blessing, and by 06:45 most people were already busy deflating and getting to know one another. After the briefing we made up two convoys, of which the first consisted of @Rahimdad with @tjsingh as his trusty helper to get all his convoy members nicely ligned up. They headed out and soon our convoy followed. With @Mels Wolf as my second lead, who did excellent in keeping a close watch on the convoy behind him, and appropriate distance from me, the convoy was moving swiftly and our friend @Pickey Singh drove through the dunes like he never did anything else. @Muffy Acidwala his Kia took a bit of time to wake up on this early morning, but soon he found the way to tame it and managed well throughout the drive. The Wrangler boys, @Nacho @J J @siddharth maheshwari all drove very well too. I love Wranglers on my convoy list, they are hard to get in trouble with @Tero Vallas joined us with his wife for the first time too, and i noticed him smiling throughout the drive. I am sure Mika Hakkinen was a better F1 pilot, but Tero was today the proper offroad version of him. @Hariharan, @Zaheer Mohamudbucus did great with the LWB Pajeros ! @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ your Ford Explorer managed very well. good job done. @Salarios your beast mode could not get unleashed yet, but we wanted you to get the basics right, i see you're eager to reach higher levels and thats a good thing. Keep coming back and you'll be on those higher levels faster than you might have imagined. @Nizam Deen Instagram man, who decided to wing it and drove to the meeting point, swiftly registered and signed up. Well done buddy, keep coming back. @Mathavan Muthukrishnan your Prado and you did great ! @Jun Zamora drove into the meeting point with a very nice SWB Wrangler, quite the upgrade coming from the Murano. It shows your enthusiasm and you did great as our sweep, keeping an eye out to keep the convoy moving, and communication well with me and @Gaurav We headed back to the Last Exit for a snack and a chat, and our senior chiefs quickly inflated and went to the afternoon drive in Maliha. Please send us your feedback, suggestions, and kindly upload your pics and snaps in the gallery. I had a blast and hope you did too ! Let me know if i forgot a name too, as my convoy list had to be updated on the fly with some last minute signups.
  4. @Zaheer Mohamudbucus Welcome to Carnity ! Kindly share with us the following: - Which 4x4 are you driving ? - Any prior offroad experience ? - Are your vehicle's towpoints in good condition ?
  5. Welcome Salarios, we are all professionals in getting stuck see you tomorrow!
  6. Welcome to Carnity @Mathavan Muthukrishnan Prado is fine, if you have flag, deflator, pressure gauge then please bring it with you. If not then don't worry we can help with deflation.
  7. Welcome @Haridas Kondath Please RSVP on the drive calendar by clicking on "Going"
  8. No worries you’re fine to join. If you have a pressure gauge and tyre deflator, you can bring it along. If not we will help you with the deflation.
  9. Welcome to Carnity @Aleksandar Zavisic Please provide us the following information: * Which car 4x4 are you driving ? * Any prior offroad experience ? * Are the towhooks on the front and back available and in good condition ?
  10. Hi @Nayan Shenai Attached video explains it clearly. Just have a few things to add: * Put the STEP frequency to 6.25 if you program the first 4 frequencies in the radio. *Put the STEP frequency to 12.5 if you program the fifth channel (462.88750). You can either program these channels one by one into your radio, which is the easiest for you later on, or you can just enter the frequency without saving it. Our radios are programmed from Channel 1 to Channel 5 according to the following frequencies: Option 5 in your menu should be on Narrowband. Option 10 and 12 in your menu should be set to OFF (we are not using CT codes). BaoFeng_UV-5R_Manual_(1).pdf
  11. @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ Welcome to Carnity ! Thanks for introducing yourself. See you on Friday ! Welcome to Carnity @Theunis Please provide us the following information: * Which car 4x4 are you driving ? * Any prior offroad experience ? * Are the towhooks on the front and back available and in good condition ?
  12. Hi, For a first drive we advise and notice that it's always better to drive alone, as it enables you to focus more on the task at hand, but of course you are totally free to bring your son along.
  13. Nativa is similar to the Fortuner 2.7 Little bit underpowered, but in the right hands they can go a long way. @Rizwanm2 has one and manages very well.
  14. Welcome to Carnity @Hariharan Please provide us with the following information: Please share your vehicle details below Prior off-road experience (Yes/No) Confirm front and rear tow hooks in good condition and usable
  15. Hi Szymon, i will be doing the Newbie Al Qudra Drive. Yes you can collect your radio anytime. Plz text me on 056 504 2632
  16. That looks great. Thanks for sharing. As i am currently driving my wife's car (same as yours) i'll probably need to get the same done. Although i have a tow hitch underneath that cover so i think this one is giving some protection too.
  17. My other half is on the forum. So it’s already too late for me 😜 Maybe here: http://www.lambda-uae.com/2013/ Or look for reviews on Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom, and order them online.
