  1. @Sreenath G, not owning a manual Xterra I can't provide feedback on that specific car but generally speaking driving a manual in the desert, for the right type of driver, is the best. Having driven both a automatic and a manual in the desert the biggest difference from a drivers point of view is the level of concentration and anticipation you need to have. When driving a automatic whilst you still need a high degree of concentration should you be in the wrong gear you can change down instantly whereas in a manual by the time you have realised you are in the wrong gear it is too late as a manual downshift will ruin your momentum. In my experience I found that I was paying even more attention to the car in front as well as looking further down the track to anticipate what is ahead. If your idea of a drive in the desert should be fast paced and intense then a manual will definately suit you because you have never done so many gear changes in one drive as you do on a technical sand drive. Hope this helps.
  2. Couldn’t agree more. I was so busy at the end with gear changes there was no opportunity to make the famous @Hisham Masaad”yalla push” call on the radio
  3. I don’t think @Looperwas the sort of kid in school who liked to colour in the lines judging by the track map 😜
  4. You too mate. Bring on the next drive
  5. What do you call a group of patrols @Mohamad Anwer? A flock?
