Dear Desert Wanderers, 

this RSVP is now closed.

Please find below the convoy order:

@Ahab Shamaa, @Thomas Varghese, @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ, @Christian Andras, @Shaaz Sha, @Tero Vallas, @Shehab Alawadhi, @Francois Germishuys, this drive is going to be very demanding, both technically and mentally for the drivers and mechanically for your vehicles. It will require your full and undivided concentration at every step, as the pace will be extremely high and the technical difficulties quite significant. We will take some occasional brakes to let you rest a bit and allow you to take a quieter breathe, but please make sure that you come absolutely well rested and that you don’t have any reason for being distracted (if you plan to take photos, please do so only when we stop and secure your gear so that it doesn't become a concern during the drive, if you plan to take videos, please fix your gear, start it and then forget about it). Secure very strongly everything else you will have in the car otherwise it will be flying all over and again it cannot become a distraction. Please remember that we absolutely discourage bringing any passengers along with you.

We will be using Carnity Channel 2 (446.03125MHz).

See tomorrow morning, ready to go (i.e. already caffeinated, deflated, flagged and briefed) by no later 5:15am (sharp), so make sure you make it to the meeting point at least by 5:00am.

To make the drive less stressful on my car engine I changed the radiator to a slightly bigger 3 core one, put new fan clutch as old one looked weak and removed the thermostat valve as engine will get constant water circulation. Right now at garage doing the works and will be tested during tomorrow's drive with @Kailas. I don't want me or my machine slowing down the pace of the drive.

I have driven with @Lorenzo Candelpergher before and as it is he has a fast pace even for a fewbie drive. You can imagine what it will be for an IM Expert drive. Hope me and my car can cope with his pace. Its difficult to catch up with him when he is in full flow drive. Hope @Ahab Shamaa will not wonder where my marshal disappeared in a flash.
