I am a bit fanatical about my car, stupid things like I hid it in the basement when it rained!! so offroading in it is completely out of the question!!

Well, let's be honest here... for 99% of 4x4s in Dubai, the nearest they get to going offroad is that patch of uneven ground next to the Hard Rock.

Bit like all those Chelsea Tractors in the UK

Sad, but true. One of the great things about living here is the whole off-roading & exploration thing.....
