Good morning all, 

In preparation for tomorrow, please ensure that your car is ready, and any unnecessary item is removed. We will have high dunes, and will try to maintain a steady pace, you don't want to be disturbed by things moving around.

The exit point is a bit far from Dubai, consider sufficient allowance if you have a program for lunch or in the afternoon! 

I will issue the convoy order by the end of the afternoon, stay tuned.

Hi @JeromeFJ, are we still planning to be out by 10? Thank you.

Apologies I will withdraw, I won't make it.

Apologies guys, I lost my number plate today and it takes a few days to get a new one, so I won't make it tomorrow, so gutted.

See you next time.

What seemed to be a normal refusal, ended up with a dislocated shoulder...

Let us know @Xavi Moyano how you are feeling!

Thanks anyway once more @Ale Vallecchi for the short drive, it was nice while it lasted, those dunes are great.

Till the next one.

Nice shots and report @Marek_was003, thanks for that.

I think we all did great, no major issues, a part from hiding from each other sometimes behind the dunes 😄

Thanks as always to the leading team and see you all soon.

Yes I confirm. 

Thanks 

Is the convoy confirmed and the waitlisters are out? 

Jeep mania 😍

Thanks @Looper @DP1011 and the whole convoy for today in that great area.

I am not going to make this one my usual "Looper Drive" where my objective is to maintain high speeds and reach the end point in a hurry and try to beat the time records, I maintain in my spreadsheet. This drive is going to be a deliberate choice not to give an adrenaline rush, there is no rush hour chaos. Instead, it will attempt to be a dopamine rush, a drive that aims to awaken a sense of joy and contentment, not by racing against time, but by savoring every moment along the way.

I will compare the objectives of the drive akin to Tai Chi. Tai Chi, known for its graceful and effortless movements, teaches us the value of balance and harmony. Similarly, this drive is a chance to harmonize with the desert, to flow with the curves and bends like a serene dance. Your accelerator becomes your brush, and the dune is your canvas—painting strokes of mindfulness and peace.

Join for a Dopamine Drive; a mindful expedition that promises not just to take you places, but to bring you closer to yourself.

Pure poetry @Looper  

Is this happening even if we are only 2 or is TBC?

Thanks everyone for the great ride today. Adrenaline was high most of the time! And we made it on time with no many issues.

My highlights

• @Haneef Thayyil, very solid drive considering this was your first fewbie! I was surprised watching you from behind.
• @Benjamin thanks for your constant tips during the drive. I had a bad moment which cost me my first popout and a bent rim.... but problem solved now. We never stop learning.
• Thanks to the rest of the staff @Davie Chase @Islam Soliman @Gary F, we feel so safe with your guidance.
• The rest of the convoy just did great, clearly very experienced.

See you next time!

p/s: @Looper I saw you on the highway on the way back!  

Dodging the rocks.

Thanks @Hisham Masaad and everyone for today in this beautiful area. Till the next one.

My Wrangler is white and one day I put the black stars on the front doors. At the first renewal, RTA said my Jeep was no longer white, so test failed.

However, the process to change the colour was extremely simple for me. From the Dubai Police app, you access the service, load the pictures of the car, and in a few minutes voila, colour changed. And RTA approved. I didn't have to go anywhere.

No refusal no party.

Thanks everyone for another fun ride!

Zerzura found.

Thanks @Gaurav!

Looking forward to the next level of drives.

Not everyone makes it out 🙂

Thanks  @Vanessa8580 for the nice ride today.

Yes I'll be there 

Thanks a lot 

Is Carnity considering adding more rides?

It's a bit difficult every week to compete for the available places while we have a membership that should allow us to drive more often.

Thanks for your consideration.

Compressor sold.

I'm selling this incredible compressor, the best you can get in my opinion.

The compressor was used just a few times and it's like new, I'm selling it because I will install the onboard version (same one).

Please WhatsApp me if you are interested (0529033264).

Thank you.
