4x4 off road club

By diverae

Hi all,

A 4x4 club I have been a member of for the last couple years while I lived in Abu Dhabi has got a new "Qatar" section on their site:

www.me4x4.com

Check it out. Go to the site - click on "Fuelstop Forums" on the left and Qatar is about a third of the way down the page. I know there are 3 members of the club in Doha already (I know that because all 3 of us have moved recently from the UAE to Doha)

There is not much there yet - but if people are interested leave a message and we'll organise some trips. This could be an excellent resource for 4x4 / 4wd / camping / desert / off roading trips in Qatar.

Definitely something else to do on weekends.

Hi, I have an Indonesian 4x4 Offroad Community here in Doha. The number of the member almost reach 20 cars from many brands. Most of the member are Indonesian employee in Ras Laffan's QatarGas, RasGas and Qatar Petroleum. If its possible then we can merge to built a large 4x4 community here in Doha..

Thank you guys for your response.

I am using Ssangyong Rexton for the time being. Im just upset because my nissan patrol in Dubai left behind there, I sold it. It's not allowed to export from dubai to qatar a car which is older than five years. Mine is 2000 model fully modified. My rexton is also came from dubai and it just 3 years old. The problem is it has no power below 2500rpm because it controlled by computer.

I got GPS, air pump, Heavy duty towing rope, shovel, heavy duty jack, Digital tire gauge, D-shukle and other basic tools.

Tonight me & my family will having an overnight camp in the middle of the dunes. We will having a barbecue & eating session. I normally doing this alone or with companion. Dune Bashing is my work preassure reliever.

I already explored some part of the dune after sealine area, I went there with my rexton alone with my son.

You can join me with this overnight camp but this is for family affair only.

If somebody is interested Tomorrow Friday @ 8am after sealine beach, we can meet & do our group dune bashing.

Beginners are welcome, with experience are most welcome because you will help me to guide the newbie. I will lead the trip and other will assist the new driver. Don't worry we will have a briefing how to drive on the dunes safely. It include the tire preasure, how to use your four wheel drive and many more. Just follow my instruction and everybody will go home with unforgetable experience on the dunes.

The trip tomorrow will be easy & educational, not extrene. For those who has experience and wanted to show your talent, we will be your guest.

My Name is Ricky and you can contact me with my mob. 5835847

By the way you need air pump because mine is limited only for one car at a time. We have to deflate our tire. You can get it from carrefour. some recovery gears i will provide, but if you do have thats more good.

Post your details on the club website:

Its getting hot already - so this may not take off completely until after summer. Lets get some names and details down on the website (you may have to register - it's free for us) and we'll organise something. There will be some stuff happening over summer so check the club site regularly!

Later,

Wayne
