Srikumar Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 @GauravSoni @Farouq Owdeh @Ruan van den Heever @Zed @Mus_hus78 @Xavier Treasurer @Hasan Wahlan @Lakshmi Narasimhan Now, this is what I called a Super Strong FB Convoy. So famous are the Sweihan boys, that we have quite a few drivers coming all the way from Dubai and Sharjah to see what the hype is all about. So here's hoping for another rocking drive in Sweihan 🤞 With the able support of the flying Italian @Lorenzo Candelpergher, I will be more than happy to push the pace and increase the challenge during the drive. See you all at the meeting point tomorrow at 9 PM. Convoy numbering would be announced tomorrow morning. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's hoping for another rocking drive in Sweihan 🤞 Because of this drive (9pm to 1am), I made a special mod to the LC: 4 amber offroad lights (amber goes well against dust & fog). I hope I don't blind the car in front of me 😂 PS: ignore the 2 on bonnets, they will be turned 45° to help cornering/seeing before turning ☺️ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakshmi Narasimhan Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 @Srikumar thanks for the wonderful drive, throughly enjoyed. My waiting to join your drive in Sweihan proved really worthy and I throughly enjoyed. Mix of everything with brisk pace made it experience like more than FB + drive(wish its officially counted as one). @Lorenzo Candelpergher was as usual wonderful as fly sweep. @Gaurav Soni hope your car fixed asap. Thanks to entire convoy for making it full of fun and feels happy to make more friends from Abudhabi!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srikumar Posted July 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Trip Report An evening well spent with some wonderful drivers in a route that was challenging, but then that has to be expected in Sweihan, when day time temperatures reach close to 50 deg. C causing patches of super soft sand. After a quick briefing, we entered the dunes and the entire convoy responded brilliantly with a fast paced action packed drive which involved side slopping, crisscrossing and ridge riding. At one point, someone asked on the Radio that this felt like an Intermediate drive and that was a testament of the quality of drivers and the faith they put on each other. The most important thing about doing fast paced Night drives is to trust the cars in front that if they can do it, so can we. And this can be done only by maintaining the right distance from the car in front. And just as we got ourselves into the massive dunes and bowls, Sweihan once again reminded all of us that this is a serious terrain as patches of powder soft sand resulted in few refusals, stucks and a Check Engine Light. But all of this also brings out camaraderie amongst the drive particpants in the form of good humor and stories while enjoying the cool weather of the night. Excellent driving by all the drive members @Hasan Wahlan @Zed @Karthikeyan Govindarajan @Lakshmi Narasimhan @Xavier Treasurer @Mus_hus78 @Ruan van den Heever @Farouq Owdeh. We had very good support from @GauravSoni in the middle helping out with the refusals till he had the CEL. And of course a big shout out to @Lorenzo Candelpergher for holding the entire convoy together at the back, shoveling, tugging and rerouting as needed. Look forward to catching up with you all very soon for another night drive 5 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
