Apki FX kisse 4x4 say kum hai kya......................
@PavementPounder
Yeah Sure... I have plans too to come to Dubai By Car. That will be SuperB Desert Journey..
I did the trip to Khunjrab back in 1996 in my 90 model Khyber. Its a very scenic route. Do try to come back before September. During rainy season land slides are very common there and roads get blocked and then you are usually stuck for 2-3 days. I was stuck on my way back from Gilgit near Pattan for 3 days. All in all its a fun trip but be careful while driving on those roads.
Gud to hear dat.......
Dubai chapter will be more than happy to hav u as our guest...........
[highlight]@PavementPounder:
I have Corolla 1998 Model 1.6 GLi. I have done same trip in my Lancer-88 back in 1999-2000 and Corolla AE-91 in 2001. So these long trips are not anymore big deal for me. My record to drive From Karachi to Murree straight in less than 22 hours with gas and meals stops. Another record to drive from Omaha, Nebraska to Orlando, Florida in 22 hrs. The journey was of 1650 MILES. On 31 December 2005 I drove from Lahore to Karachi in 18 hours. I did New Year in Karachi. These all tour were made along with my family i.e 3 kids wife and me. So what do u guys say about it??? I have movies and pictures of all of these trips.[/highlight]

@perwezits actualy very brave on part of your family to allow u to do all this. i want to do long journeys but my family gets scared and i am always bound by qasmein and waade My trip to karachi by road has not materialised tod ate because of the fear in minds of my family.
Why dont u share the pics with us?
@spectra:
My family just not only allow me they are part of it. They are always with me whenever I plan such a trip. I have got thousands of pics. Some day i will sit and select pictures and post them. I will try to post few within a day or so. I shall be glade to meet you in Islamabad if you let me know your cell no. Do one thing.......take your family along. Once they will experience it they will be addicted and all fear will go away.
