Oops ...looks like this is more common than i expected.

I normally use Apple pay and Samsung Pay with credit cards, but never with debit cards. so no pin entering required, only fingerprint authorisation on phone. but i fail to understand how they can complete the transaction without the OTP. either they should have access to your email or phone messages, right? assuming they copied your debit card details, eg. take a photo of front and back,

Sad to hear that @Lakshmi Narasimhan what kind of transaction was the "sweep" - ATM withdrawal or bank transfer to another account?

Hi @Islam Soliman, pls WL me for 2nd weekend drive

Thanks Fred @Frederic for the guidance. Just to clarify further, when you say "go next to the used track" on a slope , i can see 2 choices 1. offset my track towards the down side of the slope - here i run the risk of going over the "mound of sand" created by the cars in front, and bounce couple of times, as my tyres clear this "mini dune". Ultimately this is what i did, but i exited instead of continuing the side slope. OR 2. Offset my track towards upside of slope - here i run the risk of fighting gravity, but is it wise to do fine corrections in steering and still move uphill ? Could you offer your thoughts on these, if its not asking for too much ?

Thank you @Yousef Alimadadi, @Frederic and @Janarthan for the wonderful lead, support and choice of terrain Got a chance to understand first hand that driving at #12 in a 13 car convoy comes with its challenges 1. Churned up sand 2. Bumpy tracks - i believe due to some car/cars in the convoy having intermittent wheel locks due to sharp steering + differential action? I kept seeing these closely spaced bumps on one wheel track, normally the outer wheel - i think 3. The mound of sand on the lower side of a dune slope, created by cars in front, on long sideys - which i struggled to navigate and choose my lines correctly. probably @Janarthan can comment, as i could not sustain a couple of sideys for the full distance, and exited early. It was a new learning experience and a strong upward nudge to my off-road learning curve. My Nav app says, we covered 62 Km in almost 4 hrs..good going to all fellow drivers. Couldnt witness much of the action - stucks/recoveries/pop out etc - all were happening somewhere "far" at the front For my fewbie debut ride, i had my fill, so Looking forward and coming back for more!!

Thank you @Yousef Alimadadi, looking forward to my fewbie debut drive 🤞🤞👍👍

Congrats @WaYan...hope our paths cross again on fewbie drives,

Congrats @Hisham Masaad...i had the good fortune of driving with you on couple of occasions. .. a well deserved promotion and position..keep up the good work and your community/service attitude good luck on the new position and off course not to forget the responsibility that comes with it..looking forward to seeing you donning the advisor robe!! 👍

Hi Anoop, hope you have read this thread which has some info I bought my JKU with 285/70R17 (Kumho Roadventure AT) tyres installed by the previous owner , which rub against the sway bars upon full right/left turns..so since its a side rub, a lift may not be a solution for me. When driving on desert and when there is more movement/articulation on the shocks the tyres rub even earlier than a full turn. I am thinking of spacers now. Just my 2 cents..you can wait to hear from the stalwarts we are fortunately surrounded with

Great drive we had yesterday, the longest i had in my off-road life with Carnity!! - 74 Km , if i have my stats right Thanks to @Ale Vallecchiand all the other senior drivers and support team @Thomas Varghese, @Shaaz Sha, @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ and @Jeepie. We had a short but strong convoy with minimum refusals and stucks, which meant we were continuously driving and learning. This is also by far the ride with maximum ridge riding for me, and the key take aways from the drive were techniques to get on the ridge safely, broad ridge riding and safe exit from the ridge, speed control on the ridge etc. Not that i have mastered it, but feeling confident of the foundation laid, on which i can build on. Got an opportunity to help Charlie @Zixuan Huang with his radiator hose issue, although most of the job was done by @Shaaz Sha, and hope Charlie has sorted it out and looking forward to seeing you on the weekend drives. And congrats Charlie for your fewbie promotion. Got a chance at "sweep" duty , as @Jeepie had to exit early . I was driving in front of you Marjan, and not sure if i was doing OK, or i was churning up the sand for you Good to drive with @Marky B as well, and hope we get opportunities to have a chat and get to know each other soon. Looking forward and coming back for more!!

Thank you @Foxtrot Oscar for the nice and relaxed drive and @Goutam for the supporting role. Great opportunity to practice skills learned in previous drives. Had a close range view of fixing a pop out, with Angela explaining the procedure over radio - which was a first for me. Nice to have had the time and opportunity for some chit chat with @Charbel Yazbeck who was driving in front of me and @WaYan 's partner Yanni, when we had the breaks. (Off course with masks on and social distancing - no violation of Covid protocols here !!! ) Here is my first try with Relive, taking cue from some others in the forum Animation - https://www.relive.cc/view/vwq1wQ3yJBO Interactive Route - https://www.relive.cc/view/vwq1wQ3yJBO/explore Not sure if these work ..Enjoy if working, else ignore

@Ale Vallecchi...my next guess Meeting Point: Next to Murqaab's Mosque The one we used for the drive titled "Highway to the Sun " 🤞🤞

Thank you @Chaitanya D and @Niki

My guess is also Red..just going by gut feeling 🤞🤞
