@Mario Cornejobrilliant , thank you will try and take on advice and thanks for the pic and direction 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

@Islam Solimansoon my Freind on the cake soon 🍰. Maybe some morning flapjacks for energy one day?!? 😂

@M.Seidamthank you for your thoughts, I did feel it may be a learning curve and getting to know the car and it’s capabilities along with my driving as it develops. I need to find out when it’s in the garage next wether it has side airbags as online it seems to say that some models do and some don’t even if from the same year 🤷🏽

Ok so something to bear In mind then when I start progressing to intermediate and above level drives. Which are fast paced , but for my current fewbie levels I should be ok I guess? Thanks for the insight on your drive experience with the Y62

I do consider myself very lucky, didn’t want to sound ungrateful 😂and thank you for the response. Will look into wether it has side airbags !

Hello all , looking to start a discussion here and get information on a topic that I am a little confused over...... Also have had conflicting results in asking garages, and will probably get here. However I am sure that the answers here will help with my decision process. So my main garage that i use and one i trust a lot with the mechanics side of my car have stated that they can put the switches in. When asked though if i have any power or breaking issues in my drives, which i stated no, in turn they have said that due to this they do not recommend putting in a kill switch for the traction control and abs. I drive a Nissan patrol , safari 2014 LWB, and truth be told I am not finding any issues with power, climbing dunes (too date lol) or any issues with braking at all. She runs perfectly touch wood. They also said that they normally do not put kill switches in for airbags. In my thoughts, if I am going to hit something hard enough to activate the airbags then would I not want my airbags to go off???? I am new to this so looking to stand corrected if I am wrong. Or is more the case of incase of roll overs etc? New garages that I have spoken to re quotes were just happy to do it no questions asked about driving or how things ran on the desert, obviously cash in their pockets for a job. So I am not sure wether to roll with the opinion of my standing mechanics or not. Obviously while learning with Carnity, the Marshalls, chats with senior drivers etc that it seems that its recommended and some cars have been kitted out with this and we are asked to turn them off if we can. There are other jobs that I wish to do on the car but as with most of finances need to be juggled and I do not want an angry wife when i bleed the bank account dry on my new hobby lol so doing jobs bit by bit. So how important is it to have a kill switches for these two functions? Does everyone in the group run like this? What are peoples general thoughts on this topic? And does it widely change depending on the 4x4 you run and drive? Thanks in advance and look forward to reading the answers. P.S I normally make cakes so I have read up on how the traction control, ABS and airbags work so as to educate myself a little to help read these answers better but it only added to my confusion

Thank you so much 😊

Amazing 🤩…… Thank you so much 💥

@Veedoosheeyour driving and recovering was fantastic . Really great to watch and learn. @Paolo Pellegrini it’s all about the driving skills not always the car, although I won’t start a huge debate here as some cars do have advantages, but the driving skills and constant learning are most important. Your driving was great also from what I saw behind your in the convoy. Hope we see some midweek drives not sure can wait till weekend again 😂

@Islam Soliman, @Veedooshee and @Wrangeld thanks again. Some great driving , learnt watching some rescues and had an amazing start to a Friday! Carnity just keeps on giving 😎🐪

It is still Monday…….. People where trying to RSVP before they even could! 😂😂

👍🏾

Hey unless I’m reading this wrong looks like the RSVP is at its limit. If anyone cancels please may you add me. Thanks 👍🏾

Thanks everyone! Great drive , learnt a lot and thanks to the leaders of the group for guiding and teaching .https://www.relive.cc/view/v7O9VL7B4L6 Little video of route and pics on that link! 👍🏾

Thanks Brette, one quick thing radio tuning. I saw a link for the frequencies And method somewhere amongst the notices but can find it. Could you send it to me please so I may time they radio with Carnity frequencies. thank you

Dragon mart it is then... thanks guys 👍🏾

Hi Radio’s....... I have not picked my own up yet And plan on it tomorrow. Any advice where I can pick up one of the Carnity recommended models in Dubai without driving out to dragon mart. Will be in downtown too marina area most the day. Any advice would be great appreciated. Thanks in advance.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Amazing stuff

Thank you so much 👍🏾

That’s very kind of you. If a spot comes up will gladly take it. But wouldn’t want to hustle anyone out of their own spot 😊😂

Hi Brette if any other spots come up please can you let me know, as this is the only ride this day I would be available for time wise. Tried to join an absolute newbie just to get a ride this weekend but was told couldn't join as I had previously done one. Unfortunately working Saturday 😑

Hi there wasn't a newbie drive available on that day, in a convent location for myself . Hence why I put myself on this drive. So I am not allowed to join even though I have only done one drive in the past?

Was brilliant! Loved it thank you all who took part specially Samil and Richard.

Hi excuse my lack of knowledge but I assume on the safari patrol these are standard I have looked and not seen round hooks as such with the explorer, but multiple points I believe that lines can be hooked up on

Hi Joining tomorrow will be my first drive and looking forward to it. Have a Nissan Patrol Safari, Silver , 2014 and will be very excited to meet and join everyone and learn how to use my car to its full potential
