Hi I just win is there anyone can share what’s up number to update me any activity going in Abu Dhabi oO in Dubai my name is Ishaq and my number is 056 414 1272 

Hi Ishaq! You have to click ‘going’ on the drive you want to attend, if it is full you can ask to be added to the wait list. You’ll find all the drives for each coming weekend here in the forums. 

Really enjoyed this morning, a lovely drive that set up a lot of confidence, love how you had faith in us along the way - felt more like a day out than just a drive 😁

really enjoyed the drive, felt very safe with all of the advice from Chaitanya, Russ and John. Thanks so much! 

Thanks Gaurav, I can’t go at the 1.00 time, only at 7. Thanks so much, let’s see how it goes 😁

Wait list please 😁 thank you 

We think I have a solenoid issue with my 2011 3.5l V6 pajero. 4LLC doesn’t seem to be working, had the gear cleaned last week but didn’t fix the issue and it’s not engaging. Can anyone recommend a good transmission guy in Musaffah? I don’t feel I want to give it to my usual guy for this work. The whole thing just felt a bit under powered in general on the last drive, couldn’t get it beyond 2000rpm in HLC on a refusal in soft sand even with foot to the floor, but it was also over heating at the time. 

Thanks so much for the drive this morning! Really enjoyed it, thanks for being so helpful with refusals and overheating… 

Ummmmm I can’t remember exactly as I bought some other stuff too… around the 200-250 mark I think? Comes in 2 pieces. Seemed much longer than I expected. Was shocked at the cost of the attachment thingy though, but I have found a way to attach mine to the roof rack, hopefully it works

Hi Anna, how much does it cost?

 

Sorry just getting the hang of this quoting thing for the forum 😁

Adnan, I got a flagpole in Ace on Yas last weekend 

Hi there, I would love to be added to the waitlist please (doing my second newbie drive on Friday morning in AUH, would be lovely to add a second drive this weekend)... thanks! 

Yes thanks, I have a flag pole now, can I attach my Ireland flag to it 😁? 

yes I feel much better knowing I have the power now in case of refusal (well I hope I do anyway!) 

Looking forward to the drive! Mitsubishi Pajero, just had the low range gear fixed (looking forward to testing it out). One newbie drive with Gaurav and one night drive course with Asif so far. Can’t wait to learn more 😁

I didn't get a flag yet! Tried ACE but they only had a 9ft one... which seemed a bit too long... I hope it's not an issue... off to Carrefour to try to get a radio -

Hi @Anna Dillon @Mohamed Elkhedir and @Tarig Ali

Great to see you signed up for this Newbie drive on Friday 2nd July. We are looking forward to meeting you. 

We ask everyone that signs up here to answer a few quick questions so we can plan better for the drive: 

1. Do you have any previous off-road experience in sand? If so what did you already do? 
2. Does your car have 8 - 10 inch ground clearance along with front and rear tow hooks?
3. Which car you plan to bring (Year, make and model)? 

Thanks in advance and looking forward to meeting you Friday.

Good morning! 

I have lots of experience as a passenger in Liwa dunes and drove a bit there before with my partner who is pretty experiences. I did a desert driving night class with Asif last week, which I loved and encouraged me to join the group! I have a Mitsubishi Pajero 2011, but my low range gear is not working so can I still come on the drive? I also don't have a radio yet... but I can get one today, as well as a flag. I have a compressor etc.
