Denizzalbayrak

I was the wake up caller for my friends when I was in university. I wake up with the first note of alarm. If someone had an exam the next day, usually in Turkey students work hardest on the pre-exam night (To cover up the days of drinking)... They were calling me to set up an alarm clock and wake them up. 

Some heavy sleepers even were staying at my apartment so that I can use physical force in case of emergency    

I can do long calls to wake up if  someone needs  

Citroen Saxo's name is very unfortunate btw it has terrible meaning in Turkish slang. I'm not sure if I can share it on this platform

@Denizzalbayrak please remember you cannot use these off-road lights on road.

Yes I know @Rahimdad. Thank you for the warning. But do I need to cover them even though they are off?

Due to the low weight the Koleos did quite well during the winter time. Now with the summer conditions and soft sand it would have had a very hard time i think.

Very true. It is not suitable for desert. But before Koleos, I never thought of driving off-tarmac. When I got it, I started to think of driving offroad. Soon after I got beaten by the offroad bug. 

On the other hand, driving it on sand was a great challenge and I was giving my %100 at all time to cover up the absence of a proper 4x4 system and existence of electronics! When I switched to Trailblazer, it felt relatively easier.

I believe starting with Koleos gave me an important experience because of the challenge.

@Denizzalbayrak did you mean yor experience combined with the Koleos or without?

@Rahimdad Koleos is the foundation of my interest in this sport and it started the very same day that @Gaurav came all the way to pull me with his winch. 😂

I drive a 2018 Koleos in my daily drive which is basically a Nissan X-trail with CVT. It has been done 62.000km so far and I didn't have any issue with the transmission even though I pushed it several times in desert. But again I hear so many CVT problems from around. It looks like a big gamble for that kind of long run. 

Just out of curiosity, is there any page that shows our drive counts? I totally lost my count.

Yeah, I just realized 😂

I had the same confusion btw

When @Mehmet Volga drives a Peugeot 406  

Thank you @Frederic I will have a look at it. 
 

@Febin Frederic headlights of my car are not so good. I need an extra source of light for an appropriate visibility. 

I can fix it to the bumper but I don’t have enough experience in electrical works

I have had a good experience with Toby's light bars available at Dragon mart and through their own shop in Deira Car Accessories side near Hyatt Regency. I had 3 friends I helped getting those lights, they are well priced, not cheap, and as per the feedback they have served well for over 2 years now for 1 of my friend and about a year and a half for the other 2. Hope this helps. However 24 inches means you are going to have it around the front bumper which will give you god visibility in front, if you are looking for a far vision it is better to have a roof mounted one atleast 50 inches.

Hi @Rahimdad, are they only a supplier or do they install the light bar too?  

Congratulations @Colin Jordan! Which car gets to be your intermediate level car, Ram or Jeep?   

Congratulations! 

Congratulations @Ale Vallecchi. Looking forward to be in your convoy.

Congratulations @Mehmet Volga a.k.a Turkish Airlines  

I believe question @sertac asked still remains. Will be there any Covid-19 Night Drive in near future? Because some of us may need to create a budget for led bars. 😄 

I can't wait to reach Intermediate Level. It was an amazing first time thanks @Javier M for the route and thanks @sertac for the ride. Thanks to @Mels Wolf for popout as well, now I know how to fix it  

Congrats on your lead @Shamil but unfortunately I will not be able to attend to drive. I am removing my name from RSVP.

Having one overheating experience will change you forever. I check heat gauges constantly now, even when I'm on the passanger seat. experimental lessons are impossible to forget.
