Thanks for this afternoon's drive it was good, we had a good mix of terrain and skills required. I enjoyed it cheers.

[Thomas Varghese]

Thanks @Kailas, @Jeepie for organizing this wonderful drive. Landscape scenery was astounding even though it was only sand and sand everywhere. I thought the drive would be leisurely in the beginning but it was very fulfilling in terms of scaling the dunes, ridge riding, criss crossing and side slopes. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. There was no moment when the drive was dull except for some minor mishaps like pop outs which included mine too. Thanks to all your good efforts the pop outs were fixed soon. Thank you @Kailas, @Jeepie, @Anish S & @Veedooshee for the efforts in helping me out to fix the pop out. Will definitely RSVP for your future drives @Kailas as I had all the fun I wished for in the desert. 

See you all soon again in the sands

Dear @Jeepie, 

Sorry couldn't take any picture myself. All my energy was drained out when we started the drive. Had a drive day before with @Chaitanya D & another one the same day morning. The desert heat was too much for me to take and all I wanted to do was drive and remain in the car. Topping up was the pop out of my tire.
