“Il n’y a pas de raccourci pour aller là où ça vaut la peine d’aller.” The time you take to teach others the subtle nuances that make all the difference in really learning is what makes you a true mentor, in attitude and practice. Well deserved @JeromeFJ!

Great shots @Marek_was003! Definitely reusing The White Rhino’s pics. Thanks!

@Frederic no Christmas hats ????

I can’t take the credit for it. It was inspired by @Frederic. You should join his drives as much as you can. He makes a mix of everything. He will help you find your sweet spot

@Mohit Gurnani maybe it is best to go back to basics to answer your question. What is your main purpose of off-roading: 1- Dune bashing ? 2- Over-landing ? 3- Adventure truck ? 4- Do you need space to haul in the family into adventures ? with their gear? To @Gaurav’s point: Is it an ultimate goal for you to reach the fastest or getting to the tallest point? While I’m aware that none of the above points are answers to your question but sometimes going back to basics might help you find the answer. All in all, you already have the car and it is one of the top off-roading cars. Maybe, @Frederic’s point about balancing your drive levels could be a compromise to keep the “car abuse” concern you have in check. The point you bring probably goes through the mind of many off-roaders, if not all. Maybe there is no straight forward answer as there are also other elements in play, at a more personal level, such as your appetite to write-off the invested amount in a new car based on financial aspects and comfort levels, among other points. One point I have seen and heard from multiple off-roaders is that many started off with an objective for exploration, overlanding or having an adventure truck then slowly found themselves stuck in the loop of dune bashing. This is why I’m suggesting going back to basics as you might find some answers there which might help you in your decision process. Hope this helps, even slightly.

@Frederic The White Rhino will wear a red hat as well, just for this special occasion. See you Saturday

Congrats @Emanuel!

Hi Carnity family, I know this is not a market place but i have a couple of ARB items I am letting go of and I wanted to share here within Carnity before I post them publicly as these are GRAB items with a very good deal and I am hoping that someone within the Carnity Community would benefit from rather than a complete stranger: - Brand New Never Used ARB Tred PRO (Mounted on roof top a few times but never used) with Adjustable mounting brackets - ARB Single Portable Compressor - 1 of 2 I had (Used less than 10 times) - WARRANTY until March 1, 2024. Letting go of both for AED 2000. Happy to provide my what's app details to anyone interested. I'll wait a day or two before posting publicly. Thanks !

Hi @JeromeFJ, not feeling well and have to sit this one out unfortunately. That’s the room for the +1 waiting list. Enjoy @Rk ram

Hi @JeromeFJ, I’m removing myself from the waiting list. Making room for others. Enjoy and see you on the next one

Hey @Islam Soliman! Hope all is at ur end. I haven’t driven since March and wanted to see if I still know how to deflate the tyres let alone drive on sand, as a start 😂. Looking forward to seeing you again after such a long time!

Great Stuff @Frederic!!! I think this will take my drives to a completely another level! Many many thanks

it was an amazing drive indeed@Frederic. The convoy spirit mixed with the precision planning and execution. The water crossing was the cherry on top. One thing though, I noticed you forgot to mention one convoy member that was driving the Renault Captur. 🤣 @imranaasghar81 thanks for sweeping. Please don’t forget to post the pictures of all the car parts you picked up from the drive! I can’t seem to locate my exhaust. See you in the next drive.

I’m in @Frederic

Thanks doc @M.Seidam for a nice Friday evening drive with all the challenges it had. Yesterday was a testimonial on what makes @Carnityunique and what it is all about: Focused on safety and a like-minded community that comes together ensuring the safety of everyone above anything and everything else. Yes yesterday’s drive was not smooth sailing but at no point was there any frustration in the convoy, on the contrary, everyone was scrambling to help. Your cool headed approach and leadership kept everything under control with all the winds that were blowing against the sails and we still managed to enjoy it. Thank you for that! @Ahmad Nerat hats off to you buddy on all your efforts yesterday that were coupled with a fantastic positive attitude. See you again soon on the sand!

guys, a few suggestions would be to look into the following brands as they are good and not very expensive. Can be found on amazon as well. I am listing the good quality ones from least expensive to most expensive Nilight that comes with 2 years warranty and decent lights with good water proofing Hella Black Magic Rigid and Black Oak - There are some good ones for less than 1K AED as of now on Amazon. Hope this helps guys.

The Car Wash 🤣

Only the camera to bring along? So bbq stays at home ? see you tomorrow

@Gaurav Hi, been trying to book for this drive since 7:00 but all I get is this page

Thanks for consideration @JeromeFJ but I am opting out from driving this week as I sprained my hand yesterday night. Would love to drive with you soon though as it has been a while! Thanks again

Hi @Chaitanya D, unfortunately gonna withdraw from the drive as I sprained my hand yesterday night and wouldn’t wanna risk it to make it worse. Was looking forward for the night drive. Until the next one…

Congrats @Krishna R!

Great driving with you @Krishna R! Next time we will wait until you hit Nirvana until the next one!

Thank you for the kind words. Glad to see how far u’ve come @Ishak! Always a pleasure Pajero partner! Thank you @Varun Mehndiratta for a pleasurable drive! Looking forward to driving with you again. Thanks for trusting me with the CF and sweep positions.
