luis mantecon Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 It is an absolute privilege to have the possibility to join a club like this and participate in drives like the one we had this morning, the area was breathe taking and the track super funny. And what to say about@Tamas Hoffmannand @Bretteand @Hisham Masaad, you guys saved my life this morning, you are the best team someone can have in a situation like the one I have lived today. After 2 pop-outs caused by a damaged valve fixed in impressive record time, and the final failure of my clutch with your support simply out of the range to get out of there, I can say very loud we are in the best hands, we are having fun like children but always safe surrounded and covered by the best professionals and, which is even better, the best people. Thank you!!!! See you on the dunes !!! 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisham Masaad Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Dear @luis mantecon, this is the minimum can be done in these cases, at least from humanitarian point of view, to help and give a hand to whom he require. However, being part of @Carnity (if I may speak on behave of @Carnity) , safety of members is top priority and most important. @Tamas Hoffmann and @Brette thank you very much for the drive and for allowing me to be the sweep and be part of the recovery team 👏👏👏 Just now, Hisham Masaad said: Dear @luis mantecon, this is the minimum can be done in these cases, at least from humanitarian point of view, to help and give a hand to whom he require.

Humayun Ghias Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 @Tamas Hoffmannit was a pleasure joining your convoy. Learned a lot on this drive as well. I got crested once and had a few refusals as well. Help from @Bretteand @Hisham Masaadenabled me to recover and get on with the drive. Thank you so much for your patience and feedback! Thank you to the rest of the convoy as well! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromeFJ Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Thank you @Tamas Hoffmann for this drive ! Being in the front, I could see the challenges of taking a long convoy through this area of tricky bowls and soft sand patches. Good opportunities for us to continue learning handling our car in different situations. Thanks @Brette and @Hisham Masaad for the support, always present when needed, and occasions where many ! @luis mantecon, I hope you can fix your car without too many hassles and rapidly join another drive. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luis mantecon Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Hi guys!! Thanks a lot for asking @Chris Wingand @Hisham Masaad!! The car is better than ever, the cylinders of the clutch fixed and, as I had planned, changed rims and tires with fantastic quick deflection Apex valves like yours Hisham 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis mantecon Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I moved to the drive in the afternoon, I realized I couldn’t attend the one in the morning. By the way, as you both have BFGoodrich, also advise from other members is most than welcome, at which pressure do you drive in the desert? So far I used to drive at 10psi and I hadn’t had any problem until last week, and I am sure it was due to the valve was damaged ( both pop-ups were in the same wheel and @Bretterealized the valve has a small cut ). Do you drive at 10, 11 or 12? Mines are 285/70 R17. Thanks a lot !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
