Looper

following is the convoy order. we will be on channel 6

Following you behind

Is it? I am here

No worries. I will rather think about the tail of the convoy.

my glove collection. There is one more, the first one I bought initially to handle the hot compressor a cheap 5 AED one. Let me see if I can get hold of it I will share its pic as well.

I present to you my latest video which from last week's Fewbie Plus drive at Al Fayah, Abu Dhabi. My videos are best enjoyed on a TV rather than phone or computer screens and this one more so. I was finding it difficult to use phone for recording on my Insta360 X3 action camera while leading the drive as well, so I got myself a remote. The side benefit of the remote is that it records the GPS data to the video as well. Well a phone does to but it was buggy. I was able to add few widgets with Telemetry Overlay on the video. This was the first time I used the camera mount bracket attached to the flagpole mount. I hope you enjoy the video, it is a musical as well - and if you do, as all You-Tubers say: Like and Subscribe ☺️

This is the most appropriate gas station. Yalla Let's go. Weirdly enough I have some furniture delivery at my office at 1 am. I will have to start after that.

Congratulations @Bashar Beasha on your promotion. Well done!

Some time back I was in India and tried to drive a stick shift. god oh god how miserably I failed. I drove stick for 20 years before I came to Dubai.

@Gaurav calls the drive Razeen but the entire planning needs to be done for Al Qua. Normally that involved us reaching the evening prior and having a nap at the desert and may be loose an iPhone or two in the process.

Just a cautionary note that for the last 90 km or so the drive towards the end will be in complete darkness as there are no lights there on that road reaching the meeting point in this direction. My plan involves avoiding jerry cans. If not, then this is the way to go. In the other way it's about 60 km in darkness. For most parts, it's an 80-100 km road but very few radars. In the other side it is a 140km road in Abu Dhabi except from a small section in Al Ain town.

What is your fulling plan? make a round of Al Qua?

@Pacific, @Deepak Eswar, @Juan R, @Mahmoud Taha, @Juzer Gandhi, @Haneef Thayyil, @Bjoern Thank you all for signing up for this drive. Winter is almost here; I could see the early morning winter fog today while driving to the office. But I think it will be another week before it is going to have winter temperatures. For this week expect it to start at 28-29 degrees and by the time we finish it should be around 35 degrees. When I was here last time a couple of weeks ago, I found this area technically challenging yes, but did not find this area to be super soft as I anticipated. We drove on a track that would take us to the Last Exit, but the area is so bushy towards the later part of the drive that we were just trying to find sand and drive. This time around, however, we will spend a lot more in the sandy technical dunes and then go towards north and trace our way back to the Bab Al Shams exit near the cycle track. It won't be a long drive and we will be exploring every bit of the small patch of sand and increasing the pace as we keep driving in this area. Just a mid-week reminder that you make sure that your calendars are free to drive this week and there are no planned late-night activities causing you to have emergencies exits from the drive late in the night.
