    After longing a pretty long time to go for convoy based offroad drive, i was looking for some clubs in the UAE and thanks to @Gaurav for sharing lots of information on his Pajero on this forum, i became a Carnity member and started following the adventures of the Offroad drives you guys are hosting. What i found yesterday was not just a club, but much more a group of friends with a common interest and a deep rooted sense of respect for the desert, and especially for each-other. It clearly shows how much experience your team has built up and i am very grateful to have been a part of this for one day. The radio deemed essential and i was glad to have it sorted just a few days before the drive. The flag was quickly set up the night before but didn't survive for long The next visit will be to Dragon Mart to sort that out. A big thanks to the team as i can't thank anyone in particular because the WHOLE team was so helpful and professional. I'll definitely join up for more drives in the future. What i learned from just this one drive was priceless and so much fun.

    I exhanged the 988 model today with the 888 model which has Manual Frequency Input. Problem solved
  13. Frederic
    Thanks @Rahimdad does not seem to be possible with the 988 model, i tried looking online but no information found yet. No worries we can have a look together on site.

    Thanks, i bought the Crony CN988 (CN888 was not available anymore) which apparently doesn't allow manual frequency setting, but there is a scan function on it. I suspect once there is some chatter on that frequency it will pick it up and do the rest itself (inshallah).

    Hi Gaurav, Do you guys use any specific channel / frequency ? Or does this change according to the team members agreement ? Thanks !

    Used to have bikes (+/- 300cc) in Belgium, which i used for both leisure drives in the weekend as daily commute. I never went on highways and stayed on secondary roads because it felt safer. I loved every part of it and still miss it every day. * Proper helmet and Safety gear WILL help you save your life or reduce the damage, that is a FACT. * Replace the helmet every 4-5 year. The shell weakens and will be less stronger every year. When you have an accident and there is visual damage on the helmet, replace it immediately. The amount of reckless drivers i face every day currently keeps me from buying a bike. It feels like people lose all sense of logic and decent manners when they go on the road in the Middle East. They can't keep in lane, they can't keep distance, they swerve without indicators. If i have to recall the many close calls i had already with my car, then i am sure i would have been driven off the road already on my bike.

    Just be careful if you come across an American model. Some were made 2WD only

    The Lancia Delta Integrale was/is indeed a monster. I had a regular '99 Delta HPE with lovely Recaro seats for a while and loved the revving engine and nimble precision steering.

    For some reason the Batmobile doesn't want to start. So Robin checks the car and tells Batman that the BATTERY has died, on which Batman replies: "What the hell is a TERY ??"

    Well done Barry !

    Hahaha, you could have asked them to completely cover your car with these stickers, it would never come off and would protect your nice paint

    Looks great, I’ll probably join as I’ve been waiting a while for a relaxed drive and the opportunity to meet the lovely chaps on Carnity 😉

    Radio 2 is indeed not too bad, the rest is just horrible to me. I just plugin my phone or USB stick and happily switch over to some: * Wilco, Johnny Cash, The Triffids, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, etc.. for a proper Route 66 feeling. * Air, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Sigur Ros, for ambient, electronica, late night driving. * Eighties Pop Classics to sing out loud and wake up in the morning ow yeah.. and Radiohead.... non stop

    The iconic Trabant 601 which was the real commie-car from back in the days. 600cc two-stroke engine. An icon in Eastern-Europe. Not sure if well-known outside of Europe.

    I happened to watched this new carshow on Netflix a few days back "Rust to Riches", where the team from Gotham Garage buys a replica from the original body and restores this one. Imho the detailwork with especially the glass cockpit was a bit shoddy but kudos for these guys to have the guts to take on this iconic car.
