@Francois Germishuys my best moments with you were spent in Liwa having a chat and getting to know you better. I really admire your spirit to learn and your enthusiasm to keep the convoy moving. You might have learned a lot from us, but one thing I learned from you in Liwa, never give up on sand trax. If the technique is right you can get that inch of movement which can further help you. Congratulations on your promotion @Francois Germishuys, I would love to drive with you again so that we can continue to learn from each other.
