I was thinking the same thing... I don't know who three members were, when, where, why and what happened. But I just missed my afternoon Abu Dhabi Drive that's all.

This post is for the bookies out there. Who's going to win? Who do you bet on? I set out to write an analysis but I think I will leave the members to analyze these numbers, as they say facts are stubborn things, but statistics are pliable so, these are the facts: # of Drives is the drives I have driven Drives Completed are total drives the member has completed including other drives. W. Avg Drives are Newbie drives X1 + Febie x2.... divided by total drive. higher the number better it is. Frequency is in days.

Congratulations @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, well done.

Congratulations @JeromeFJ well done. you deserve it

Congratulations @varunmehndiratta well done and well deserved.

We will see you again.

I can understand the urge.. you need to be quick with your fingers on Sunday evening 7 p.m sharp to select the drive you want to join. If you have joined the WhatsApp notification group then you will get a message around 11 am in the morning of Sunday for the schedule next weekend. decide in the morning and be quick quick quick when the messages start drping in your inbox. Good luck this week

Looks like ADNOC Service Station | Al Faya Shahinat - 3 (764) is the nearest petrol station. @Lorenzo Candelpergher Once filled up here do we need to carry extra fuel back home after the drive?

@takeshi sobue you have added yourself in manage tab in this drive also. This is again a Fewbie Drive and you are still Newbie and also, to manage one needs to be in the Support Team and above levels. Please see these two posts: Levels of Off Road Drives Off Road Drive Grading Structure

A great day in the desert, driving though the day and making friendships and memories along the way. Thank you very much @Ale Vallecchi for a superb drive and @Gaurav Soni, @Jeepie for your great support.

Congratulations @PaoloMaraziti!!

Did you try going to Dragon Mart? I have a couple. One Bafong which is configured to Carnity but not used much.

Hope this helps: Option 1: 70 Mail / Garmin or other Advantages: Records in 2.7k Video that one can crop without loss for 1080p videos Has Decent Night Mode Decent Wide Angle Video as well Its your normal Dash Cam that you are re-purposing it for action cam - always present in your car and always recording. Latest Gen 70mail records GPX data as well so if you want to overlay that in your video you can do it as well Heat resistant - I have never seen my camera stop because of heat (a. because of the smaller sensor, b. no battery c. the way they are made). Cheaper than other video cameras (bar repurposed phones) No need to remember to record anything - no planning needed Disadvantages You wont get 4k Video and not too good optics. fixed place to mount - only one on the dash Single purpose use. Mine does not capture gpx data so I use Gaia data to overlay on my videos (if I ever do it that is) Dash cams don't show the action as well as an action cam can, somehow I feel they show the video slower than they are. Option 2: GopPro/Sony/DJI Action Cams Advantages Higher Resolution up to 4k Better Optics & image stabilization plus upto 240 fps or timelapse recording GPX data recoding and easy to overlay on videos Can be mounted on many different locations and they are generally waterproof using cases. You can use it for other than drives as well. Possibility to live telecast on social media with some devices (gopro does it). Disadvantages More expensive compared to a dash cam also you end-up buying into the whole ecosystem. Gets hot quickly and in summer it might stop working You have to remember to record and have to plan according to your drive. Option 3: Repurposed Phones (Jugad) Advantages You already have it - no cost you can use your current phone as well. Decent quality of video and if the phone is not too old it will do 4k, Slowmo and Timelapse as well You can live broadcast on to social media for your drive. Disadvantage If it is your daily driver you may get some unexpected calls which will stop recording (no issue if it is unused) You need to securely mount it inside the car (same as dashcam) plus it will be more obstructive for the view than dashcam It has batteries and they get hot soon. In summer my iPhone gets hot and stops working if it is mounted on the windscreen. You have to remember to record as well. I have all of the above and I use all of them. My first preference still be Dash Cam for value for money and convenience point of view. They wont be the best but they are there when you need it. The logical way to go is to use your phone first then get a dash cam and finally an action cam. In DashCams I prefer 70mail they are not too expensive and work well and in the newer models they record front and back. In Action Cams - I will recommend the latest GoPro it gets refreshed every year with new features being added. DJI has come up with a new lineup you want to check. Sony - they had good action cams but have seen a refresh in the near past. You might be able to grab a 2nd hand one if you can for all of the above as well.

Diwali a festival of triumph of light over darkness, of good over evil, of hope over despair and of knowledge over ignorance. I wish all my friends and families @Carnity a very happy and prosperous Diwali. May the light of the diyas fill your home with happiness and success.

Congratulations @Mus_hus78 well done 👍

I have a AOR suction mount that I don't need anymore, anyone interested can take off me. I also have a "few" tire pressure gauges and one deflator if anyone is interested. Bushranger 3-in-1 Tire Gauge & Deflator AOR Digital Tire Pressure Gauge Xcessories digital Tire Pressure Gauge

Congratulations @JAISROCK well done. See you in more drives.

Stupid advice taken; well taken - already applied. 🤣

Bumper + winch done. New question - Warn asks for new winches to have set up for the use of winch by completely unwinding the rope and re winding it in tension. Any advice on how to do it? I don’t don’t know any place where I can do it.

Congratulations @Abdul Rafay-S well done.

@Ale Vallecchi that was yesterday morning before the schedule was published, I was pre-emptively trying to not miss the drive just in case I wouldn't able to signup to the drive as I had few meetings that time. Luckily I was able to signup to the drive at #4.
