Wrangeld Posted August 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 @Usman Basit @Bernard Kalaani Thanks for signing up for this week's Absolute Newbie drive. It seems that you both have signed up before and were not able to attend for what ever reason. I see you both drive a Jeep Wrangler. Please let us know a bit about your off road experience. It's good to know in advance the sort of drives you did (if any e.g. bbq with friends, LIWA challenge etc.) and what you want out of your Carnity experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman Basit Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi @Wrangeld... Yes I couldn't attend last time unfortunately due to some personal reasons. I have done one drive with carnity about 18months back on a range rover sport but bought a second hand wrangler a few months back (2012 sahara) for the very purpose of joining back the club on a much longer term basis this time. Thought I will begin again on the absolute newbie drive to test the car and get myself aquainted with the basics again and move up the ladder to advance drives. Excited for the drive on Friday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect and just the sort of sensible step to take with a new car (however well experienced you might be). Looking forward to seeing you on Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
