  1. Another super fun drive into nahel! Great leading @DP1011and @Emanuel... 5 minutes after departure we arrived at the double bowl ready for some sidies. I was quite surprised at how different the terrain felt from just two weeks ago as it hasn't rained. We got some quick loops in before yeilding that playground to another convoy and went in search of more bowls 😎 Lots of switches and and ridges led to our first of two popouts. F1 pit lane precision on the fixes...Teamwork got the jobs done quickly and we moved on to yet more play areas. Last big bowl of the day we discovered @DP1011 had left his number plates as an offering to the desert... A quick search of the last 5 mins driving but didn't find it. As we headed to the exit we spotted three gazelles running across the dunes, and a group of black and white camels.i guess sacrificing his number plates for his first two wild animal sightings in nahel was worth it! We covered around 50km in total before exiting.. at end of inflation my thermometer was reading 47 degrees... Maybe we have to start even earlier...?? Great driving by all and hope to see you all again soon. I'll try to load some videos to Instagram tonight. If we're not buddies on there yet, add me so I can tag you in the footage!
  2. Need to update Ur username to "Emanuel / White Rhino" 🦏 🦏 🦏 😜
  3. IMPORTANT TO NOTE!!!! The cafe coffee machine at ADNOC 960 is not open until 0700. If coffee is important to you... Which arriving at 0515 it should be, I recommend ADNOC 614 (telal sweihan) 😜 https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ti1Aupt8CVktvci57
  4. Currently charging about 300 different batteries/devices in preparation. See you all tomorrow morning 🫡
  5. Thanks for leading the drive tonight @M.Seidam, and for the 2L @Zulfikhar Naiyar and @Senthil Kumar sweeping for us. We started on time with a full moon, and started doing some 'spagetthi' moves on the southern side of big red before moving around to the east for more, then we stopped for some moon gazing (it's a strawberry full moon at the moment to Mark the summer solstice!) A few climbs later @Zulfikhar Naiyar noticed his temps rising and we stopped to do a makeshift coolant change and to re attach some hoses. After a quick boost start we headed slowly to the exit as the XTERRA night was over. We then headed back to climb big red when @Aser and @waqar had an unfortunate meeting with a ditch. I exited the drive with @Aserand we listened to the other recovery while reinflating over the radios. Nice meeting you @Mahesh_👋 Hope the rest of the drive was good fun, repairs get done quickly, and everyone has a good weekend. PS, we drive about 50kph from expo back to Abu Dhabi cos of EXTREME FOG... 😅😅😅😅

  7. If I manage to get into the Doc's drive on Friday, this will be offical Carnity #50. I'll bring the snacks and tea 😁
  8. Could literally replace this entire mess with a single sign that says "CAUTION: NO FUN ALLOWED"
  9. good luck with the sale. Very nice looking off-roader!
  10. Theres always the quick-release winch mount and QD(Quick Detach) wiring hookup. Put the winch (strapped down) in the back, and if the 1-5% occasion occurs, stick it on in around 1 minute. Plenty of kits out there if you go this route. 👍
  11. Great work on moving to Fewbie Level. Im sure you'll have a great time learning lots of new skills and tackling some fun challenges!
  12. Congrats mate. Looking forward to driving with you again soon.
