  1. Thanks @Looper..i have changed my video settings.. By opting "made for kids" i thought i was just declaring that it was "safe" for kids to watch..and thereby increasing the audience base 😀 and not restricting it. Because there is another option to restrict to 18 yrs or older, which i did not select........anyways... I see now, it was kind of counter intuitive!!
  2. Thank you for the hot afternoon drive @Davie Chase through a tricky, bumpy, vegetative terrain!! Faqa is definitely not one of my favourite terrains going forward , but the drive was pretty intense at many places due to short and steep climbs, technical dunes, avoiding trees, shrubs , bushes , steps etc and keeping our cars stable on low rise side slopes, trying to get on top of ridges, negotiating sharp drops etc. I've got a scary moment of fishtailing captured on my dash cam, posting here for academic purposes It was good to see @Islam Solimanback in action after a break, but his car had other plans, decided to boil over and shut down ...hope you get it sorted, and return to the sands to retain your title of Carnity's only LWB truck marshal!! @Paolo Pellegrini's drive also had to be cut short due to overheat , see you soon mate! Good to drive with all fellow Carnitians @Joseph Raju - who had to respond to a good number of terrain warnings from Davie , and reacted quickly. @Pierre de Maigret - who is joining after a long break from offroading , and looks like you feel a bit rusty and @Bjoern - our paths cross again, good to see you . Looking forward to more drives in this hot summer, making most of the low traffic in the dunes!!!
  3. Good going @Benjamin..most of us who have driven with you would have expected this ..Congrats on the promotion, and see you soon as a lead!!
  4. My first wadi drive with the club and good to drive with @Fredericafter a really looooo..ng time 🙂…Got to test my modest fortuner in a different terrain and with various gearing combinations, it was a fun learning experience and a different perspective of offroading altogether. the track is recorded and definitely coming back with friends in cooler times great to drive with all who joined, old and new faces see you all soon as and when paths cross
  5. Half heartedly..joining the list of drop outs... @Varun Mehndiratta... today night looks to be a really long one 😉 for me...
  6. Nope.. not at all.. cant connect a charging bull to a wadi shawka drive 😀🤔
  7. Nice drive as usual Doc @M.Seidam.. It was my 12yo son's first night drive experience and he enjoyed it a lot, and was wide awake all through the drive, and also loved the recovery , winching etc. @PETELCZYC PAJERO - luke did a wonderful job of self recovering after the winching efforts by @Ignacio Quindós and @Zulfikhar Naiyar, both doing a wonderful job with their equipment. It was nice to do the Big Red at night (first time for me) , although we could not complete the full ascents as planned. Looking forward to do a full climb at night 🙂and test limits of our concentration . Good to meet everyone on the drive, see you all soon
  8. Another fun drive by the master @Hisham Masaad , thanks for the slopes and climbs ! Driving in Nizwa big red area after a while. A well executed 2nd lead by Hisham Jr - @Abdelghani...i believe every singl,e warning from hisham was acknowledged with a "copied" on the radio ... everyone drove beautifully and at their best , resulting in a very fluid drive, and very few stoppages/refusals well managed by @DP1011 in his usual ever present style! Good to drive with all of you @Deepak Eswar @Cristian @Nadeem Ansari @Juan R @Rk ram @george charbel
  9. Right doc @M.Seidam,i had removed myself shortly after 9pm 😀...got some unresolved issue at work, so unable to attend.. I will miss what would have been my 100th drive with the club 😒😒. .as they say, there is always a next time...until then ...🫡
  10. Great going and Congratulations @Davie Chase, see you soon on drives!
