Hello guys.Thank you all for a great and clean drive to start off the week. Thank you @Tbone for a superb day and for the route and terrain, though I was a bit late I am happy that I didn't miss the fun of this event. Thank you @Janarthan for a well played sweep role. @Gaurav Soni, thanks a lot for a very well executed 2nd lead, you made it much easier for me and @Thomas Varghese to manuver in some places. ( I believe so Thomas bhai). @Thomas Varghese did very well with his X even though he had some over heating issues with the car. I don't have nothing much to comment about @Ilya Golubinsky@Francois Germishuys as you guys were behind me, but saw doing really great at the climbs with their beasts😀👍👍. Thank you guys and hope to see you guys soon

I fixed the overheating & misfiring issues already. Sometimes its better to leave the finer details of the car with an experienced mechanic. Last time I replaced the spark plugs I asked the mechanic to advance the timing under the impression it will enhance the power when the car is climbing uphill. 😅. Stupid advice. Now I got the timing reset to original position and the misfiring is gone. Hopefully the car won't overheat now.
