Drive Brief
After a short approach across some small dunes we will reach the famous Area 53, the pyramid-like dune formation belonging to the portion of Al Badayer situated on the south-west side of the E44 Dubai - Hatta Road, which we will climb from the west side. This first ascent will set the tone and the level for the rest of the drive, which will take us, as we will progressively move south, through 16 more different areas with high and complex dunes, where we will perform steep ascents, audacious criss-crossings, crest/ridge ridings and side slopes at vertiginous heights, reaching so high that only the sky will be our limit. In between, we will have to crunch a few kilometers across medium small technical dunes characterized by the complete absence of any specific alignment or repetitive pattern, which will require careful navigation and undivided attention by all drivers. This drive is the epitome of off-roading on the high red sand dunes of Sharjah, an adrenaline and action packed time for those who really want to discover where their limits as Intermediate off-roaders are.

The look on @imranaasghar81's face when @Watteau found his phone, just as he'd given up hope was priceless !

Congratulations @imranaasghar81 on your promotion. You provide me my 360 degree fix. I had only one opportunity to drive with you and all I can say is that you really enjoy what you do which in turn is enjoyable for everyone around you. When you started experimenting with the 360 degree videos, you're not only learning to off-road, but challenge yourself in a direction which has turned to be so enjoyable for me. Keep up the good work bro.

Rahimdad your the man! Thank you for your encouragement!!! I've been a naughty boy tho - I have4 week's worth of drives to edit and just can't find the time to do it! I think I'll use then shortened Ramadan hours at work to knock out a few new videos! X 

Amazing news thank you!

@Niki Patel, the car mentioned by @Luca Palanca Falsini is correct.

My Y62 will be out of the game for some time due to some repairs with parts that have very, very, very long lead time (ie several months) from Nissan in Japan.

Meanwhile, I couldn't stay grounded forever, so I got myself a new drive on the dark side.

When the Y62 is back, I'll have to face the dilemma about which car to drive, even though my wife is claiming the Y62 as the family car. 

See you tomorrow. 

Omg that car is BADASS!!!!!!!!!
