Drive Arabia Review (UAE)

Screenshot 2023-02-09 at 3.46.46 PM.png


There’s been an inexorable softening of the all-terrainer genre over the past couple of decades, as most contenders in the category have chased cushy ride quality and car-like handling at the expense of mud-mauling, boulder-conquering heroics.

So the "Drive Arabia" Journalist could be the one responsible for this, although I don't see any snow:

He wrote: "the only time our vehicle needed a yank was when I inadvertently put the left wheels in a deep rut that was concealed by snow cover".

OK, I understand, even if he is an experienced 4X4 driver, he has no experience with Scottish ditches and snow!

Except there is not a flake of snow in this picture. That is called driving onto a soft verge, and is driver error. Timber wagons and school buses do it all the time in Scotland, it is the only form of entertainment we have.

Yes, very high up and far from any city. Interestingly, Bechtel just took a contract to develop a ski resort in that mountain in Saudi…
