Hi everyone,

I was busy this morning at the office and failed to read the report.

I sincerely thank each and everyone of you for helping me out in the mess i got in. I never expected such a turn of events. I guess it must have been the first one for the AD4x4 club.

We (Anit, Joey and frds) were able to get it towed only by 10pm from Sweihan due to tow-trucks (2 of them) getting stuck in the sand.

Srry for ur jeep Joey (trying to tow the recovery truck)! Hope you will get it repaired b4 Gulf New Fun Drive. Anit thanks for getting me home in one piece after all the other events that occured later that evening.

Thanks all of u i wouldnt have made it without you.

You were staying there till 10pm 8O am so sorry for that. Anyway hope the police report was an easy part.

Good to hear that you are fine and the Pajero was pulled out for repairs.

What towing companies did you call ? Don't they have 4x4 trucks for such situations? You guys were tryin to pull the recovery truch with a Wrangler?

wat was the damage ?

The Pajero is Ok Kris. It was not starting as the oil was over the spark plugs. The funny thing I heard was that after getting 2 recovery cars stuck, 2 Wrangler clutch burnt because of the pulling, the guys managed to start the Pajero's engine and drove it out of the desert.

glad it worked out in the end though.

Hi everyone,

its okay Chico.... eventually all ended well.

We managed to pull our heavy duty bodies onto Anit's (4x4er) jeep and drove to AUH.

It was one of those days Khaiwi when bad luck shows up in all forms. I believe the first truck wasnt meant for desert. But we pulled him out of the muck with the 2 wranglers during which the tow rope snaps and hits me..... Hamdullah! i managed to get hit on the hand just missing my face.

But he wasnt an expert on off road and managed to get it stuck again in the sand (this time wet sand). After waiting for 4x4 truck (Al Dana) to arrive, we somehow managed to drive the pajero to the road from the sand.

The 4x4 truck gets stuck this time but managed to pull out the first truck. Our Wranaglers get into action once again trying to pull the big truck during which the clutch plates burn out completely for Joey. Casualality No. 2 now........ leaving us with Anit's Jeep (Saviour)!

Thanks iguana for having me play few songs, although i was get a lot of requests from little gals and boys (wish i was a pro) I enjoyed it.

Dear All,
I must say, the trip was amazing and me and my cousins had alot of fun.. Although one of my cousin just didnt want to get out of the desert, and wanted to try out all the dunes.. But as they say, all good things have to come to an end, to yet start again inshallah.
Thanks to everyone once again, and am ready to get stuck againnn

.. but inshallah will surely try to avoid it...
Thanks
Regards

Sorry guys, as usual am late to write my comments.

It was our first camping trip So many members showed up which I counted more than 50 cars, 34 car ONLY were registered on the site which means 16 cars showed up I don’t know how??? which will not be accepted next time due to safety reasons. :hit:

It was nice trip lovely

members everybody had good time :cheers: , Sorry I couldn’t stay cuz I had to leave at midnight.
I would like to mention some comments which can be avoidable for more comfort and safe to all ;

•Some members invited there friends without registering in the site.
•Some members showed up without basic recovery gear.
•Show off & playing around the campsite.
•Driving around the camp site without any guidance.
•During recovery, so many ppl. were interfering.
•Lettering around the campsite.
•Radio communication should be in English ONLY.
•Radios should be used for communications and emergencies ONLY.

So I wish everybody will follow the CLUB RULES to avoid rejecting some members from attending the trips.

It might be hard for somebody Pleeeeeease… try to understand !!!!
