quote mustuz:I started first with RSA but didn’t renew it because of higher price and turned to AXA.
I didn’t have any issue/accident while I was having AXA. Lastly I have the insurance from Zurich. Maybe a bit more expensive than AXA, but they are quite good and quick on the service after experiencing some small repair jobs like replacing a few broken bumpers . You need to check and compare carefully the coverage of the insurances and then you can make your call.

MustafaZurich is no longer an option as they are winding down their general insurance business in UAE.
Thanks Saif for posting this drive for us. And thanks Joe for an awesome drive. The increasingly higher dunes and side slopping was nowhere close to the relaxed newbee drive you wanted. Our small convoy of 7 cars moved at a decent pace with just a few minor hiccups. We managed to cover quite a bit of distance before bailing out while we still had sun light. The grin on everyones’ face while inflating spoke volumes of Joe’s awesome lead. Shahid and Haytham drove like rockstars and were unstopable.
Shahid – loved your rig man. Cannot believe that you are just 5 drives old in this sport.
Nidun – You drove really well. Be aware of your surroundings so you don’t have minor incidents during second attempts.
Jatin – Also drove really well. And always willing to listen and learn.
Ibrahim – Started of with apprehension but got into the flow as the drive moved along. Doing a drive or two solo without family might do wonders for your confidence my friend.
Haytham – Total brute power man in that RAM. You controlled the LWB like a baby maneuvering the dunes effortlessly.Thanks all. Drive safe guys. Untl next time…

Got my FJ skid plate from Shibu at Best Line. Very reasonable pricing.
Absolutely beautiful drive. Amazing lead by Saif. Some really super lines picked for nice long side sloping and decent drops. Short technical dunes and ditches were also thrown in by him from time to time. Denis was tested on his recovery skills to the brim during the combined stuck / pop-out we had which consumed a considerable amount of time and energy in the blazing sun. everyone drove really well and the convoy was moving at a good pace under the watchful eye of denis and syed bhai. overall we had some nice scenes and some ugly scenes of camel carcass.
the lake was absolutely stunning. baher thanks for organising this drive and joe thanks for leading us out. unfortunately i couldn’t stay back for the bbq but am sure the group which stayed back must have had a great evening a midst such a picturesque backdrop. a beautiful end to a beautiful drive.
Congrats Sash. Always great driving with you.
It’s always nice to hit the sand after a gap. Seeing 55 – 60 cars at Tawi was indeed a great sight. Even better was meeting up with some old friends amongst the many new faces.
Ahmad bhai took off his convoy of 12 cars and we entered the dunes from the opposite side of the road. Vinay, Neville and Burzis in their 3 Pajero’s very absolute first timers in the sand and drove quite well. 10 meters into the drive and we had our first two stucks simultaneously just a few meters apart. Lesson 1 learnt – always remember to engage your 4 wheel drive when you enter the sand. The other stuck was more of a mechanical issue with the Jeep and Asem kindly went off to escort the Jeep out to safety on to the black top.
Ahmad continued the drive with the remaining cars and Sasha and myself assisted with the sweep, recoveries and guidance wherever required, and were later joined in by Asem as soon as he returned. We had a few minor stucks along the way and a few second and third tries. A few of the crestings needed to be pulled out but mostly all were able to get out of the situation on their own with a few pointers. By and large a very peaceful relaxing drive where we could enjoy the drizzle of the rain. Just what the doctor ordered for this awesome weather.
As we hit sunset, a few of the cars parted ways whereas a few of us went in to the campsite to enjoy a nice dinner. We had a few tables allocated to us courtesy Ahmad bhai. While the marshals were busy in their meeting the rest of us enjoyed the snacks, dinner, drinks, dances, drizzle and most importantly the company of people around. As the camp wound up, a few of us, Yasir, Vijay, Romie, Shihan, Chris and myself made our way out from the campsite to inflate. Said our farewells and off we went.
Jonsi – At second lead in his red 2 door pajero was driving really well.
Satish – Following him in his LC with his son also drove well.
Shihan / Ru-mey – Both you guys drove like pros at the rear. Loved the fact that both of you had your flags and radios.
Vinay – First time on the sand and what he lacked in experience he made up in determination.
Neville – Another first timer on the sand and enjoyed the dunes with his family.
Burzis – Again another first timer on the sand and had a good time with his family.
All the 3 pajeros drove well and were always willing to listen to pointers. Hope the radios are all sorted out soon.Ahmad bhai / Sasha / Asem – lovely driving with you guys. Thanks for a great time. Until next time.

Idea came in mind coz I can see number of post has been captured.
:thanks:
The profile already shows number of posts as well as drives.

quote Vijay:Hey Ashraf,I would be interested in the soft shackles, I will pay you when we meet next.
1 x Soft Shackle
And what would you connect at the other end of the rope, a metal shackle ??? Makes sense to go with a pair if you intend moving to soft shackles. A worthy investment.
quote Aeyaz:HiIm new to this group. Pretty excited to join you guys on the future trips.
Planning to get the walkitalki that everyone is talking about on this forum.Just wanted to check if this is the right one one to get ‘motorolla GP-338Plus’ from BAI-05 (Shengda Trading) Dragon mart which cost AED 250.
Also do i need to get a pair or just one is enough?
Thanks in advance
AyasModel and shop details are correct. Single piece would do. Adding on a car charger might be safer.
Congrats guys. Drive safe.
