Will the drives still be on considering lot of govt precautionary measures . It seems there are cops patrolling in the sharjah and Dubai deserts ..

@Lorenzo Candelpergher great video !! Covers the whole drive

Ah I had a friend in the jeepers group who sent me this .. didnt know the recovered vehicle was part of ours ! Below video 

That was a nice chilled out drive today morning with @Rahimdad leading beautifully and as usual @Wrangeld sweeping , @Rizwanm2 at the back holding the convoy together perfectly with timely feedback.  We did have our share of recoveries but nothing that Richard, Jeepie  and Rahim cant take care off  Very glad to see all convoy members being dot on time and driving like a pro - Reaching Pink rock in record time of 1 hour - so says Rahim bhai ! 

Thanks for the after drive chat @Rahimdad.. looking forward to the next one . Cheers 

As usual have posted them pictures and videos in the gallery:)

The two cars were not independently designed and manufactured by separate engineers; all of Nissan's experience and knowledge through extensive R&D gained through designing the Y61 for over 20 years went into upgrading their flagship offroader to the modern era with the added benefit of technological advancements in automotive engineering. 

 

Did you know the weight difference is only 220kg? That's two adults. But with 3 inches of additional ground clearance, several hundred more horsepower and torque, independent suspension, and a host of techological advancements such as hill-descent, hill-start, hydraulic body motion control, active tire pressure monitor system, and a dedicated off-road monitoring system. 

 

This is not a fair indicator of Y62's offroad capabilities. The price point makes it difficult for the majority of people to justify it for offroad use. And Nissan's Y62 marketing campaign has mostly focused on luxury, rather than offroad capability, which has influenced people accordingly. 

I'm a traditionalist more than the next guy, I love the Defender over a Range Rover due to its brute force, simple mechanics, and easy maintenance, but I would never invalidate the engineering accomplishments of its successor. 

Agree to @Gauravs comments .  We get very personal with our vehicles.   But lets accept and get into reality or the capabilities 

@siddharth maheshwari see you soon  . let us know if you got your Amazon walkie talkie 

I ll relate myself to Sam in the death stranding game where his  task, is to not just bring crucial supplies, experimental materials, and creature comforts to the various cities and settlements, but to use a set of what can only be described as USB drives to bring the network online at each location, helping to make the whole world connected and whole again.
