Craig Finlayson Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 All - it was a pleasure driving with the Abu Dhabi guys today! Everyone drove great - everyone’s car was well equipped and handled the sand amazing. No drive is complete without some stucks and refusals! It defines a drive and it’s how we learn. @Karthikeyan Govindarajanyou pulled yourself out of some great situations and self recovered really well. I think you were just playing with me when you crested it twice on the same ridge. @Hasan Wahlanyou’ve got some rig and you drove it great today! It was a pleasure watching that beast pass thru the dunes with out much hindrance. @Mus_hus78as said earlier, I’ve seen a lot of Pajero’s struggle in hot sand, but yours never showed any signs of giving up! In fact I’m sure it’s prob a Jeep in disguise! @Mikhail Lukichevsuperb second lead today - especially in Sweihan which is never an easy trail. I’m still convinced you crested it on the last dune just for a photo opp! You looked so pleased with yourself for It too. @Farouq Owdeh- it means something when your name is rarely mentioned across the radios - top driving, and I love the mods on the Cherokee! @Warren Flayapart from a couple of refusals (which are part of the fun to be honest) you navigated that short wheel base round the sand great - must’ve been the gloves! @Zed- it was a pleasure to meet you today. Similar to Farouq, you chucked it around the dunes without any issues. and last but no means least - @Chaitanya- we’ve driven a few times and I remember being on your first lead drive. You’re a joy to drive with and always a safe pair of hands leading the team! Good to meet Chaitanya junior too - you can tell he’s just itching to get behind the wheel! it’s been a great day and thanks to everyone! I’ve been up since 4.30am, it’s now my bed time! Have a good weekend and hope to see you again soon! Craig 3 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he felt it too - some soft sand where my old X was struggling, you just made it look like a piece of cake. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSTAFA hussain Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hello everyone , thanks for this great off road DRIVE .......😍 special thanks to @Chaitanya Dfor taking us trough sweihan dunes(little liwa ) . Appreciate all the hard work done by @Craig Finlayson which I believe is most challenging to push all of us through those churned up terrains 🎯.... I think this drive was quite fast moving as compared to other sweihan drives I have been which was great 👍🏼. Hope we all can join back for another ride soon 😇 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
