    Hello all. Now that weekend desert drive has kind of become a routine , my family is upping the ante against me for taking the patrol y62 to sand and getting it back all dirty. I have decided I will go in for a used weekend desert drive car to save myself and also my y62 which has been a very comfortable drive for all at home. I have shortlisted few used cars as below 1. Pathfinder 2005 3.5 L V6- 160000 km run for about 13.5 k (2nd owner) 2. Wrangler TJ 2006 4L V6 - 120000 km run for about 22 k.( 2nd owner) 3. X terra s 2010 4L V6 about 2 lac run for 25 k.( ? Probably 3rd) All cars have been GCC , without any mods and have been Registered recently. All from direct sellers I would like to have the suggestions from the forum on going ahead with these. Concern being all of them I think will not have a diff lock and how does that matter in the long run?? Personally if the pathfinder is good after checks , I will go ahead with it with some negotiation on price because it's quite cheap and probably easier to maintain. Thanks in advance

    Thanks @Srikumar for a nicely organized drive. Thanks to @Emmanuel @Jeepie and @Brette for the support. Good to be back driving in the deserts . Great to see all drivers enthusiasm and being at the start on time. Cheers and stay safe.

    After driving on Roads back in India since 1997 and here in Dubai since 2014 , changing about 7 cars in between the quest to drive more never dies. I like to drive more than using any other means whenever feasible. Off roading was always something on my mind because so many friends of mine were always doing it regularly. Seeing those pictures I wondered there was so much out there to explore which is natural and depends on what limit you want to go. To me it felt like a recreational sport with so much to explore, very and hence I went for it.But frankly for whatever few drives done, we ( myself, my son and friends) have thoroughly enjoyed it 🤩

    I bought a PS 4 1 TB . Learning the tricks and getting used to as it is quite a new experience for me. PS 4 is selling like hot cakes on the shelf , and many places dont have it.One of the guys who owns a electronic shop advised me to go for PS 4 just for the fact that it has so many games, accessories and others available all the time - just in case you need them. I am loving the GT sport and NFS heat as of now. Minecraft is too cumbersome as it needs some learning. All in all a good way to time pass , and vow! what a world it is with so much advancement in Gaming . Thanks everyone for your replies and inputs. Hope you all stay safe and be cautious!

    I would like to ask you all who have gaming consoles or have used them , which is the best one . With the top three options being PS4, Xbox one and Nintendo switch Just so much reviews and detailed suggestions everywhere , but first hand experiences and personal suggestions for games would be appreciated. Sorry for being late to this amazing world of gaming, but the lockdown has made me to think about buying one and forget everything else !

    To come out and Breathe without suffocating N95s and move freely 😃. Move freely without restriction and without PPE

    8 pm to 6 am next day you need permit. Not needed for some professionals Can be obtained from https://portal.moi.gov.ae/eservices/PolicingServices/Movement/IssuePermit.aspx?Culture=ar. Sometimes this website is overloaded especially 6pm to 8 pm. Better to plan in advance and get your permit if moving at night ( 8pm to 6am) - ONLY IF NECESSARY! We have to acknowledge and appreciate the tremendous steps taken by MOHAP, Government and everyone involved chipping in to fall in line.

    Unusual stuff while home isolation?? Well home isolation is not for me 😃 as I continue to work and provide my services for emergency cases as a Orthopedic surgeon specialising in Hand and Microsurgery @ a hospital in Dubai. At work the most unusual for me has been - to wear almost cover all with two to three layer apron and a N95 or N99 mask. This type is protection is good against the bugs but it literally suffocates you , even simple walking makes you feel breathless leave alone doing surgeries. But I am getting used to. - we are paractising social distancing among the staff , undergo tests as we come in high risk areas and we are always in for some changes happening almost every hour. - coming back home to undergo a complete disinfection before entering home and asking kid to wait who comes running to hug me , is quite a sad situation. With time even he is understanding the importance of it. - I am asked to be available on standby if need arises to help in this tough situation where some of the departments in our hospital are overwhelmed. I am a bit scared but I am willing to go , bring it on !! The same principle of desert drives and leap of faith working here too. If my colleagues are doing it , I will be able to do it too. There will be some stucks and refusals , but Hope and God being our marshals to pull out. Stay safe all of you

    Thanks @Gaurav and @Ale Vallecchifor another wonderful drive. Good to see and learn a very tactful rescue when the car got stuck between sand and rocks...with help from the jeepers...its amazing how people help each other in desert when someone is stuck. Wish it is true in all aspects of life when people are helpful for eachother . Have a safe time ahead all of you and take care of yourselves
