Thanks Brette!

Thank you @Srikumar for taking up a fewbie drive in area 53, the experience is entirely different than any other fewbie drives, and never expect to be the SL for my first drive in area 53. The sand in the area is softer, and I have to use 2 of my prevous HT tires due some serious damage to the AT ones, I felt the reduced traction after first few small climbs and the refusal, I further aired down to 11 PSI. After hitting a tiny pocket's rim, I of course had my first ever pop-out to one of the 11PSI HT tire. With the help of the team (many thanks to all of you!!), the pop-out got fixed quickly. It was really surprising to see so many cars in the same area of a desert at the same time, perhaps there were nearly 100 cars in the area? I got to see a wild blackout Armada leading a covey, a crazy loud FJ covoy, several of the American Toyota specie 4Runner bouncing in Middle East desert, and Wranglers that look like pros but have zero knowledge on momentum and gravity. I think it is definitely not easy to drive behind me this time, refusals and all that. If I were myself driving behind, I would be cursing the me in front already. @Aisha S has surely done well, and did not get disturbed much. This drive has indeed challenged my cofidence and made me doubt my ability, but the learning is tremendous. Hopefully my next visit to area 53, I will bring more solid cofidence and ability to tackle this area. It was good to have you all in this drive and special thanks to the support team member @Nivin and rescue mission team leader @Hisham Masaad See you next time! Few pics uploaded. @Charbel can you whatsapp me for the video of you climbing the iftar bowl? 0528402096

Thank you Fred, this is a very informative article about compressors, I have spent a week and got pretty much the same information on certain points. Addition: Working pressure - This is should be understood as the efficiency of the air pumping into tire. Below is my observation to validate: single cylinder, air flow volume 150L/min, max working pressure 150 PSI, 3mins+ to fill up factory sized tire twin cylinder, air flow volume 300L/min, max working pressure 150 PSI, 1.5mins+ to fill up factory sized tire A shop clerk in DM told me if the golden camel logo is a sticker on the box, it is the "fake" ones I went to those shops myself and found out the same🤣, even a pc X-cessories with melted hose in display. Vitaly ones come with 1 year warranty I guess is because they know too well that the golden camels roughly stop working after a year. Basically you are spending 100 AED more for the warranty. So I decided to try my luck and got a golden camel single cylinder, thinking that single cylinder should produce less heat than the twin cylinder one while the working pressure remains the same, only the air flow volume is halved, im ok with it taking 3+mins to fill up each tire while chitchating post drive

Thank you Chaitanya

Thanks Nivin

Thanks Lakshmi. See you soon Thanks Gregory, see you soon Thanks Ale, looking forward to more learnings with you! 谢谢！

@Hisham Masaad @GauravSoni @Zed @Chinthaka Ruwan @TT_Dubai @Ranjan Das @Frederic @Russ @Abdul Rahman AK @PaoloMaraziti Thank you friends, and its always my pleasure to drive and learn from you all !! Iook forward to seeing you all on the sands.

Congrats Darren 😀

Thank you Gaurav and all the leaders who have taught me on the way! Thanks Sunil, I will see you soon😁

I have been wondering this for some time already... y61 and lc70s have proper lights at back, and manufacturers only activate the additional ones on bumper.... weird stuff
