Well done @Theo09 well deserved! Enjoy the faster pasted journey!

@M.Seidam video is all done you can find it above

Just working around some new editing software sorry for the delay 😛

@M.Seidam fantastic drive! Much like your FB drives &FB+ it gave the opportunity to enjoy a range of different skills on a more advanced level. I’ll look forward to the next one for sure! also I’ve got a POV of the shovel recovery if you happen to want to see how it looked from the exterior of the car following this I should have a POV video edited and posted which I’ll share a link to when it’s ready @Rajiv Sam sorry about the tyre mate but it happens to everyone. I’m just glad you spotted it before moving on from the bowl so we could drive accordingly to prevent any accidents. @Joji varghese @Waqas Parvez@topgear amazingly well driven certainly made most of the night crusade. @Davie Chase I’m afraid your not escaping the title smooth operator! Fantastic in the back as usual hopefully I’ll see you soon!

Looking forward to it @M.Seidam!

Hi @Vishnu Ramankutty I totally agree with @Gaurav automatic should serve you very well with most of all off-road situations. personally I do use my manual tiptronic option on my wrangler as it allows me to have full control over the car and which gear it is in within relation of the RPMS. (Note you should have no problem doing automatic all the way to intermediate). Using tiptronic can help you control large climbs but for the most part auto will assist you. if you plan on using auto-manual I highly recommend using it on normal roads to understand more thoroughly when to shift and what your car is comfortable doing. This is only because tiptronic will put more stress on your transmission and engine using low gears to climb dunes (note: I don’t recommend “slamming” the rpm’s ensure you always steer down when you’ve lost momentum to ensure safety of you and your car.) In the wrangler I find starting in 2nd to gain maximum torque then shifting down to 1st tends to impact the best. However every car is different I hope this helps from someone who uses auto and tiptronic

😂 yup I agree! Was just chasing CID officer myself this morning apparently all ‘clear’

Hey @Hisham Masaad I’ve added myself to your waitlist. If you need any support on your longer convoy I would be happy to help

This looks awesome @Stumpy Paj! Your pajero has made a massive change since we started driving together in Newbie 😂 have you got that fuel tank fixed yet? also I’m interested in your subframe drop would this be categorized under chassis modification? I only really thought about it because I was looking at the new black points law because I’m looking to put the stickers back on my jeep long story short apparently you need permission for engine modification and chassis modifications (alongside stickers and paint)

Congrats @Arun Menon enjoy the pace and new challenge

Totally based on preference and what you need your jeep for! 2dr is like a gokart in the desert and extremely capable and light but sacrifice boot space 4dr is capable same engine and components as 2dr; though long wheelbase cars will require more thooght into corners and approach angles of some dunes, alongside some fishtailing, they are a little heavier but much more space for passengers and luggage I’ve had no issues with mine!

Considering your budget I reckon the best option for you is a second car for sure! Keep an eye out on dubizzle and Facebook marketplace, scout the best prices for your ideal off-road car 6 years old at most and check the VIN number every car has one and it will tell you if it has been in any accidents in the past (keep an eye out in Sharjah for this happening) personally I have a jeep wrangler 2018 JL and very happy with its offroad capabilities I agree with @Gaurav and @Pavel Pashkovskiy this option will definitely give you the best of both worlds without sacrificing a 300k car in the desert. look into jeep JLU’s and Xterra’s alongside FJ’s these brands are usually very good in the desert but every off-road car has its own charm and it’s all based on personal preference, have a look and test drive a few different brands and models to find something that suits your best. hope this helps in the slightest! 😂

@M.Seidam this was a great drive in the dark to add toward to the infinite dark loops series! I always look forward to these and hope to see you again soon. everyone drove amazingly and it was incredible to see the large convoy manipulate the dunes like a oversized playground! Till next time everyone amazong support @Davie Chase (smooth operator) and @Simon D always great to learn something new with you guys

congrats @BIBIN THOMAS enjoy the new rank

@Varun Mehndiratta I’ve added myself to your drive I’m confirmed!

@Hisham Masaad confirmed

Came over the crest at high speed. With wheel still locked left causing a sand wall to build up on the right side of the car starting from the front then making its way quickly to the rear causing a roll over. how to avoid this: when coming over a crest or any situation your vehicle is sideways begin to turn down when the wheel begins to feel heavy. Continue to fight gravity either fishtailing, refusals, or rollovers occur much like this one

Congrats @Mohit Gurnani enjoy the faster pace

I usually make a coffee before leaving depending on the time. Nescafé machine with the little pods, from there I either use vanilla extract or just froth some milk, that usually leads to a pretty good cup of joe for me! 😂 however at petrol stations I can’t resist a good Karak Chai; potentially a cappuccino

Cheers Luke I’ll Catch you on the next one Thank you Anoop! I will see you soon I will do Mario! I will see you soon mate

Thank you @Mark B I will see you on the next one mate! @M.Seidamthank you for your kind words I will look forward to driving with you again soon @Davie Chase thanks mate I will see you soon! @Gary F Golden shovels sound expensive… maybe we can split the bill somehow 😂 @Sunil Mathew thank you mate I will see you on the next one @Simon D I’m ready for the shoveling. They call me the ace of spades! 😂thank you! @DP1011 thank you mate I will see you soon for sure!
