@Gaurav thanks for standing by me as well as the two masters you gave me build my confidence to indulge in this sport. Though I admit it took away my concentration from Scuba Diving and Boating i.e from the sea into deep desert and somewhere tiny inside me I shall hate you for this... sorry just joking.@Fredericfor giving me finer tips as to how to improve on the condition of my old pajero. Also someone who bring cam fun to a drive. @Rahimdad demostrating how to self rescue as well as reducing the speed on riding the crest but no stopping or breaking. @SrikumarSrikumar for his tips to climb and cross over dune crest and giving me opportunity to sweep and be his second in lead @Chaitanya for following his tracks and his example of passion of leading drives @sertac for dune climbs and his collective confidence on other drivers of his convoy @Wrangeldfor a perfect repair of popouts. @Jeepie, Angela for near speed chase. Apologise if I missed any of my leads they all contributed in my grooming of 4x4 car handling. Above all many thanks to some of my co drivers @jodha singh shekhawat @Ahab Shamaa et.al. 

Finally almost certainly my time with my pajero 2005 model will soon come to an end replaced by a brand new FJ.. someone hastened my decision I thank him as well.

KUDOS to Carnity Club having a great team to learn and enjoy 4x4 offroad driving.

You've earned this promotion and everythign that goes with it Dr. Ashok. Yes, It's taken you from your other passion, but you are showing the same dedication and thought in making this hobby soemthing quite special. I think that the FJ will change things for you, as they say, same same but different.
