Well done !!! I am already feeling missed it big time.  Hope we have some fewbie drives on 25th! 

[MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ]

Fewbie Drive No.3 done, and I must say, it gets better every time. Everyone arrived at the meeting point on time and a chilly weather welcomed us. After a small briefing, we started heading into the desert.

We were presented with several opportunities to practice different skills such as Ridge Riding, and Criss Crossing in a couple of Play Areas, under the watch of @Chaitanya D, who made sure everyone gets to enjoy the drive.

@Tamas Hoffmann was CF, and he flawlessly managed a couple of reroutings and helped fellow drivers out of trouble. Moreover he captured the drivers engaged in action using his drone while his fellow passenger brightened up the little kids by dressing up as Santa.

@Vanessa8580 was an excellent Sweep, very active and enthusiastic, cheering up everyone’s mood while showcasing her amazing driving skills.
