  3. Welcome to Carnity @Nayan Shenai ! Its nice to see you introducing yourselves before signing up. I’d recommend all absolute newbies to share a bit of information about themselves and their car so we can prepare the drive in the best way possible to make your experience worthwhile. See you coming Friday! Fred
  4. I mostly clean it myself, but when i go for a manual carwash, this one is my preferred one: Autopro Prowash Meadows: https://goo.gl/maps/PLP9gWGCUh9YUA7b6 105AED for the full wash. As that area is quite poshy with many supercars going to that place, they really look into the details. I've tried same Autopro in Motor City a few times now but they much slower and less organized.
  5. Fantastic terrain choice and perfect for anyone interested in learning the basic off-roading skills !
  6. We have these days where we seem to have most brilliant and funny ideas in the shower, either related to life, love, cars, or anything that comes into your mind at the time and that you probably wanted to note down. "Shower Thoughts" are very popular on reddit.com and i feel Carnity should not stay behind. So let's share them and have some fun with it ! I'll hit off with those: * A ton of cars is actually less than half of a car.... * The more serious a relationship gets, the more casual it gets.. * Socks are basically portable carpets... * Somewhere out there is a graphic designer who designs the patterns of bus seats and is proud of his work... * The object of golf is to play the least amount of Golf.
  7. On Wikiloc you will find many hiking trails in Wadi Sena. I also found a few offroad drive tracks: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DU0dIVAXZWAc0ELSeBoxKYhwD_DV9Gz0&usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xQ1Zvy1BKJNTDkgfNZfWYwqiB9WW5DNY&usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/open?id=13UGjCLNTEhjareoRr3Smzfg_XzeQQvLf&usp=sharing Note: I have not driven or tried these. Just got them through Wikiloc.
  8. I’ve had the pleasure of helping recovering a V12 AMG wagon last year in my backyard. The guy went into the sand without deflating and as soon as he got himself stuck he starting revving like a maniac and dug himself in, still thinking that he needed more POWER to get himself out. We started shoveling with a few guys and he was just standing there shouting « how can a G Wagon get stuck.... do you know how much I paid for this car »!?! pic below is from a Gulf News Fun drive where I got a déjà vue feeling when seeing it 😄
  9. TRIP REPORT As it was planned to have @Srikumar leading this drive, we had to make some last minute arrangements and i got the blessing of leading this drive in my backyard area. We left off from Faqa area and after a few minutes it started to drizzle a bit, and the clouds didn't look very happy to see us. But after heading a bit further west, the sky started to clear up and we were greeted with creamy dunes as our buddy @Emmanuel calls them. After seeing @Xaf driving the last couple of weeks, i wanted to give him a slightly different challenge today, and decided to put him in second lead, with the aim of perfecting his skill of offroading techniques, communication, pro-activeness, and adjusting his own style to make sure the tracks were not too much churned up. He managed brilliantly. Having @Ale Vallecchi behind him to slightly alter the track where needed, i also noticed he was in full control of the car and the skills of his mighty FJ. At all times we were remembered by a roaring V5 that there was an enthusiastic Hummer driver in the convoy called @Tbone. Well done buddy. @Jeepie and @Wrangeld had the perfect terrain today to test the suspension and agility of the little Wrangler, and you both did an amazing job. Going through a drive that went so smoothly, i was actually expecting something might happen, and suddenly @Xaf announced on the radio that he heard a "pop" nearby. We managed to get @tjsingh to a flat surface, and quickly popped the tyre back in. I had to use my spare can of transmission fluid to fill up the floor jack, as apparently the release screw was not completely closed and i lost some oil recently, so the floorjack did not build up enough pressure. On our way out to the Solar Park, our Golden Patrol had another pop-out and this time it was the other tyre. After a few minutes and with the great help of @Shamil we were back on the road, or offroad @Adam Marston and his misses had a big smile on their faces the whole morning. Nicely driven buddy ! We've spotted falcons, gazelles, camels, and two big mature Oryx today, but most of all i've spotted a bunch of enthusiastic fellow offroaders that really enjoyed this drive, and so did i ! On the way home i saw an old fellow @G.huz who is driving now with the Pathfinder crew. Always nice to meet up with this wonderful guy. Joining this club has given the opportunity to meet such great people and i hope with the newbie convoys that @Srikumar and @Rahimdad was grooming the same day, the Carnity family will keep on growing ! Thanks to all and see you very soon !
