Nice one Mota Bhai. Congratulations!
Sweet two surprises in one day!!
Thank you DO for giving me the opportunity to get involved and repay the group, in any small way that i can, for broadening my horizons and making dubai a better place for me!
quote Robinson:quote Ganesh:….later on Satyen got sunk into a soft patch for which Yousef recovered him and then we had to change the track to reach the lead….Are you sure it was a soft patch and not a bowl??
=)) =)) =)) =)) =))Hah… I only feel safe getting into bowls when the winchman is there to pull me out!
one of the best drives iv been to so far. and it was interesting to see the difference in driving styles between the marshalls/head honchos of the group. For the first half of the drive with Tushar in the lead its apparant that he favors the bigger dunes, challenging ascends and tricky ridge crossing. Ahmed bhai on the other hand, who took over the lead in the latter half, prefers a fast paced drive, almost always side sloping at 35 degrees angle, kissing the edge of the ridge without actually breaking it or crossing over.
Tushar’s drive is kinda like an adrenaline rush cause he will attempt to take you across that wierd angle between two dunes, or going through the sides of a bowl and across the ridge, in the process building your confidence.
Ahmed bhai’s drive is so fast past that you just have to keep going, not only to catch up but also because you will only manage to stay close to the ridge if you have enough momentum, or else you will start side sloping.
Im not sure if my relatively amateur powers of preception has done any justice to the styles of the Tushar and Ahmed Bhai. But perhaps we need to start another thread where we get the lead marshalls to define their driving styles in their own words, and what offroading skills you need to hone in order to perfect those styles!
Hi tiger, I’ll be bringing 3 friends with their respective cars. All experienced offroaders with more than 50 drives under their belts. I’ve been raving about Dubai offroaders to them so they gonna join us for this drive. Will register them now

I have: A Quansheng Radio(6 months old, programmed with DO frequencies), Snatch strap+shakles and gloves in a bag (from ACE, not worn out), Very comfy camping chair and cheap sleeping mat (both used twice), wheel wrench, 2 ton hydraulic jack from dragon mart, Some small stuff like superglue, ductape, tyre repair kit.Hi mate – can i have dibs on the snatch strap+shakles+gloves?? i was going to go out and buy a new set for my other car! Look fwd to a farewell drive with you tomorrow!
my vote is for the afternoon drive!
So this is the first time that the wife is more excited about going into the desert than i am! Maybe if we had more of these events the husbands would get less grief about being away every weekend!
