This place seems very nice and worth a visit def for car fanatics. Can't imagine how older engineering were so basic without any useless complication.

Gulf News Fun Drive 2017 - The Liwa Experience
robert replied to Rahimdad's topic in Meet up and Drives - Off-road / Scenic
Been to GNFD once and it wasn't exactly as I was expecting. So sorry I am out. -
I am in love with black color but due to extra heat I started switching to darker shades of grey, burgundy and brown but still I notice paint fades up in all the cars I had/have. What is the cure of this issue apart from a repainting the whole car?

Thanks Saleem, will look into your suggested options and see whose driving feel matches my taste, as I like the car that speaks to the driver than driving with its own head. -
How is 2008 Land Rover LR3 for Sand desert driving?
robert replied to robert's topic in Land Rover LR4 Forum in UAE
Hi Saleem, thanks for nicely explaining the limitations. TBH, I am highly influence with Land Rover as a brand, but I have no preference on door, seats, engine, brand or luxury. Anything within the budget of 40-50k should be enough. All I want is capable desert ride that can take me and my wife (occasionally) everywhere we want. Some minor off-road mods is fine, but I am not big fan of extreme modifications. -

Many thanks Saleem, once again to hold me from my temptation. Can you please suggest which 4x4 is good for sand desert driving in hot climate and winter? I am curious has LR designed such sensitive transfer case for GCC specs even? Shame on them. -

Watch these please guys and you might reconsider your suggestions and opinions. Please be honest, I again fell in love with it after seeing these videos. Land Rover LR3 Kicking Japanese (land cruiser prado) and American (jeep wrangler) best 4x4 in market. Really rugged with articulated body and chassis. AWESOME 4x4 response in such a dirty spot, haven't seen any Jap's even inch closer to this response. -

Thanks Saleem, can you please specify what you mean by saying long term driving means regularly driving for 4-8 hours at one stretch or regular weekly desert driving? Thanks Barry, for having a good suggestion and cons highlighted for the selection but I am evaluating cars on hp+torque over the weight to get most capable ride for desert. Unfortunately I can't get these numbers in any japanese 4x4, btw which 4x4 other than land cruiser you suggest? IMHO land cruiser has a desert safari impression. -
I need some opinion here on how is Land Rover LR3 - V8 - 2008-2009 model (end of LR3) for Sand driving in Dubai and Sharjah Sand desert? I am not a dune basher, but a dune cruiser and like to buy this so sometime I can enjoy a peaceful drive without getting stuck. 4.4 liter V8 Jaguar AJ engine producing 300 hp (224 kW) @ 5500 rpm, 315 lb·ft (427 N·m) @ 4000 rpm must be awesome for desert with a 2.4 ton weight?

Absolutely yes and I think there is another better idea is to install governor (speed limiter) in the car for 30 days and set its max speed to 60 kmph, so that driver cannot exceed this speed and live with this for a month and he will be automatically force to drive in slow lane for 30 days as he can't overtake anyone. His familiarization with slowest lane will help him drive appropriately in the future.
