  1. That camel looks so much larger than the Jeep
  2. Excellent write-up @Marek. The storyline only begins to tell the tale of what was the 7 September 2024 Fewbie Plus Desert Drive in Nahel, Abu Dhabi. 🤣
  3. Hi @Mario Cornejo and @Frederic, wondering if you know if this will work on a Pajero? Looking to be able to read vehicle stats when needed and to check on tire pressure (TPMS) using the installed factory tire pressure sensors.
  4. Good morning everyone, The soft sands were certainly our nemesis that dogged us all morning. Thanks @Davie Chase for your kind words summarising my support as S/L and for your leadership throughout the drive. It was certainly most valuable when things got tricky for so many of the convoy in that final leg of the drive. Thanks @Bjoern for helping winching me up enough to then make my own way out of that stuck. Again, our nemesis in her finest hour. Thanks to @Mark B and @Ishak for helping me with my semi-pop outs. I don't recall seeing those before in the desert drives and all mine needed was a bit of air. No jack required. Makes sense, they only looked like a flat tire. I briefly had a S/L today. 🤣 Thanks @Nizar Shawwa for following the plan to make our way back to the convoy. You went down that tall and sharp decent with solid control and appropriate speed. It is so important to listen to the radio and follow the instructions of the marshals and support team. I know ego and or adrenaline can impair our listening abilities but this risks making things worse for yourself and holding up the convoy because what could have been an easier recovery now needed more time and effort. It's for your own safety and for the safety of your fellow drivers. As Davie mentioned, listening up even if it isn't you the marshal is speaking to gives us an idea of what to expect when it is our turn and what to do or not do in order to have a successful attempt. It's also best not to pass another driver in front of you in convoy order or to park beside and above them on a side slope. Especially on a soft sand slope. Safety Bear rant over. 🤣 Have a great rest of the weekend everyone and see you next time on the sands!
  5. If you look in the reflection of Davie's rear window you'll see me.
  6. I've got a picture from over there of you guys.
  7. I had a feeling that wasn't going to work out. My gut was telling me to make a small loop inside there and then attempt that. Thanks @Bjoern for winching me up enough to make a solid reverse back up the dune to give me enough momentum to get over it this time.
  8. That was my first two semi-pop outs. No need for the jack, just some air because the tire was still sat against the rim. Makes sense, looked more like just a flat tire. Thanks @Mark B
  9. Thanks @Frederic for a nice leisure route and for the professional photos. That was my first time to see the nursery. Good to see you and the Black Raptor again @Mike M. and driving with @Ishak in sweep and @Mark B in CF. It indeed was a smooth running convey and with our newest club member @Arvindraj on his first drive in a convoy have taking his M/C. Here are some drive stats.
  10. Congratulations @RiadJL. See you on the sands soon.
  11. That must of been the one where @Looper said he'd be a couple of minutes
