This would be my first Fewbie drive, but I did one Newbie after promotion. Last Friday..

[Pancho]

Hi Guarev, some six or seven rides. My first rides fewbie ride was still before the covid

[Gaurav]

Thanks @Tero Vallas for the confirmation, I have removed you from the fewbie+ level as you need at least 5 drives after your fewbie promotion.

Thanks @Pancho for the information, you are more than welcome.

Mid week update

Faya is one of my favourite area so boyz get ready for lots and lots of fun with high rev driving and climbing. Of course the pace, intensity and height will be decided as per the convoy response.

I don't rush to put more kms or add extra time, but I actually drive to have fun until the time we have first refusal/stuck. Stop. Rinse. Repeat.

We plan to explore all around Faya few times, have plenty of sideys, criss-crossing, hill climb and then head towards Camel rock area while scaling all the tall dunes on our way.

If convoy response permit we might scale this drive to intermediate level, so be ready for that and make sure everything in your car is fully secured and strapped.

I will carry my DSLR camera to resume my long lost hobby, to take few of your action shots - if time permits.

Please make sure that your car is in pristine condition:

• Please double check engine oil, coolant and gear oil levels during the week.
• Please make sure to clean your air filter thoroughly, when you are free.
• Deflate to 10 PSI (for offroad tires) and 12 PSI (for on road tires).

Breezy evening drive at Faya, thanks for a great lead @Gaurav. First half of the drive was super exciting around Faya. Hill climb and some driving in the dark was added bonus. 

No shovels and tugs speaks how well everyone drove👍.
