Wednesday Night Fewbie Plus Drive - Al What-tha!? Unlocking Unexplored Terrain - Abu Dhabi - 26 AUG 2026

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Hope you are still ready for a nice mid-week drive. I'll bring a thermos of ice cold korean coffee-latte, you bring a chair and the conversation for the last 20 minutes or so sit and chill after we have discovered the unknown.

I'll release the convoy order at 5pm incase there is any last minute additions or drop outs. Otherwise see you at the meetup at 20:00 ready to GO!

Drive Summary Report

A 100% increase in attendance from last week, with double the number of cars joining us for another night of exploration.

We got moving just after 20:00, heading southwest into the unknown and quickly finding ourselves in soft, warm and surprisingly tricky sand.

I set the tone early by dropping into a pocket and needing a winch recovery to get free. Not long afterwards, I was stuck again, this time with Giacomo on winch duty and getting things moving once more.

We stopped briefly for a quick water break, only to discover that Piotr’s sons remote control car battery had decided it was done for the evening. It was just a quick break, then back into the sand, where, SURPRISE, I somehow managed to get stuck yet again, with Asif and Giacomo coming to the rescue.

Despite the recoveries, everyone drove extremely well in what were very soft, warm and demanding sand conditions. The convoy kept moving, people worked well together, and the difficult terrain was handled calmly throughout.

We finished with a well-earned coffee stop, before tackling one final challenge: finding our way through the fence labyrinth and back out to civilisation.

Exit was made on time, wrapping up another enjoyable evening of exploration, teamwork and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

See you at another coffee club session soon ☕

Thanks @Asif Hussain @ChrisW @Giacomo @JC_E @Piotr.

Big thanks to @_luke_ for organizing this trip. Thanks to  all @Asif Hussain, @ChrisW , @JC_E @Giacomo for the support throughout the drive.

Thank you all for this great evening. After a few months away from the night drives, it felt really good to be back.

My son also enjoyed every minute of this trip even if his favorite RC car gave up before we finished.

Looking forward to the next night drive & coffee club session. ☕

Great pics @Piotr.

ps, i wasnt really stuck any of those times, I just wanted to give @Giacomo the opportunity to play with the winch.... 😜
yeah right! haha

that was a proper break-in for the winch 😂

Was good fun nonetheless!
