Hi @Miguel Codes thanks, great to hear you liked the drive. If your wife wants to drive the car she will need to make her own user profile and RSVP under her name for this drive. The reason for this is that we need to be sure at all times who is behind the wheel and at which level this person is assigned to within the club.

Please have a look at below topic:

Hi Frederic,

I want to join you for a ride on 5th of March.

I'm not a complete newbie. (Used to have a lot of driving experience in Africa and went for a 3 days desert crossing in Oman some years ago. Want to  to refresh my skills and start going to the sands more often. 

I have Dodge RAM 2017.Finally istalled front hooks, so ready to go.

[TT_Dubai]

Hi Fred - I have a lifted Wrangler. 
I did an Al Futtaim desert course many years ago (classroom and practical afternoon) but really want to start again now that I have the Jeep. 
Front and rear hooks are in order. 
 

I have a deflator and digital gauge. 
My compressor should also arrive tomorrow 😀

Cheers
