  1. Wtf is he cooking for the full village ??
  2. 1) FJ cruiser. Had one in Saudi, but was a 4x2 unfortunately. Only negative is visibility is limited. Fantastic engine / performance. 2) Xterra: reasonably priced, not too over complicated, and performs super. The bigger brother Pathfinder is similar but more spacious. 3) XJ: would love to have one in the future. Built to last, not so very hard to find. Iconic looks. 4) Pajero 3.8 SWB. Not too expensive, but avoid the upshift issue model years.
  3. So all three statements basically mean you love driving fast and bicycles are a nuisance for you ?
  4. Yes, The Studio One Hotel is now having an Irish Village, Mr. Miyagi's, and some other stuff. It's the nearest thing to my place on Al Qudra.
  5. So happy to see this @Atif ! I've put my first steps in the sand driving behind you a number of times, and you always impressed me with how relaxed and composed you drive. You find the perfect balance of throttle and that Prado should be grateful with you as it's driver. PS the Karak Chai canteen might have helped a bit 😉
  6. Congrats @Brette ! We started around the same time last year if I remember correctly. Your black beast is a bit more complicated to tame than my little 'ol blue one, but you persevered and that shows in your well deserved upgrade !
  7. Super Congrats @Shamil !! Saw you joining us as a humble fellow who always wanted to learn, and took his steps gently in the sand as it should be. Your consistence in joining the drives during the long hot summer has created confidence and experience, and this is grade is well deserved ! I read you enjoyed the sweep duties with @Gaurav on the last drive. Being a part of the sweep team and guiding other new-joiners will give you a satisfaction that will be the cherry on the cake. See you soon in the sand !
  8. I am guilty here too. Found a fantastic looking flower shirt in a shop in Barcelona, and according to my wife its CLEARLY a women's model. Oh well, we are 2019... 😂 I'd love to go @Barry. If you're planning and buying tickets and could use a sidekick, let me know.
  9. Just join on one of the newbie drives @sertac. With your experience, risk of damage on this drive level to a Grand Cherokee should be non-existent.
  10. In a Utopian future, everything will be auto-driven which will eradicate the risk of accidents. In a Dystopian future, we will be catapulted back a few hundreds of years and nature will have learned us a few nasty lessons. Mad Max style.
  11. It’s a sight I see every day and i just cannot believe to see that even people from so called first world countries are doing this. In their own country it is a major offense and will get you in serious trouble. I even never understood why people in big SUV’s think that they or their children will be safe from harm in an accident. Pure Stupidity...
  12. With my previous car I used to be in the fast lane all the time, and got anxiety attacks every now and then from all the people lane swerving and tailgating. With my 20y old car now, I take one of the middle lanes, switch on cruise control, and launch an Eagles’ album. 🎶 Take it easy !!!!! 🎵
  13. If it’s helps your green thoughts; the car wash has a recycling system so it can reuse of a lot of it’s water. I don’t get the body wash after every off-road drive. Just once in a while.
  14. Haven’t seen any bulls around here. And a bull bar will not protect against a crossing camel 🐪
  15. The Xterra performs brilliant. Even the basic version will take you anywhere. @Emmanuel and @Shamil are perfect examples.
