The Fewbie convoy is also in the nearby vicinity, so don't be tempted to jump on that convoy. 

I’m sure with the line-up, this too will be a Fewbie drive 😂

As everyone starts getting settled, I will start bumping up the level one step at a time as we get closer to the bigger dunes of  Sweihan. 

Translation: Newbie > bump > NewbiePlus > bump > Fewbie 😅

A great drive. Sweihan is a challenging terrain. Surprisingly the newbies did more than good in negotiating the terrain. @GauravSoni & @Niki did great support in times of need. Hope @Joseph Raju sorted out his tire issue and reached home safe

@Srikumar thank you for that wonderful first Sweihan experience - I am eager to go back once mother nature removes those bulldozer tracks! I appreciated all the support and guidance you and @GauravSoni provided allowing me to keep improving as a Support Team member. 

Thank you to the full convoy with their brilliant attitude during the difficult periods (appreciate the patience and willingness to help each other!).  @Joseph Raju we hope you got home safely and that pop-out/tear was a lesson for all of us on the importance of keeping a good condition spare tire (and tools).

@Richard Franks hats off to you as SL, with the many re-routes caused by the digger tracks, that was a demanding role to play today and you were superb!  

@Sudhanva Sonawane @Adnan Halepota @JAISROCK @Julian Pattersonin front of me and were excellent and took instruction perfectly, never fishtailing and handling the terrain well - a lot of confidence built!

@Brendan White directly behind me - was great to be on a ride again and it seems we only join the eventful ones! Another super drive and evidence again you a highly experienced 'newbie' :) 

 @Zed @Serafino @Thomas Varghese @GauravSoni making light of being at the back and its always a joy being on a convoy with you guys and those extra-ordinary-shovels Zed brings out to play!  

See you all on the dunes soon! 

@Zed - I want your LC100 protected and you'll understand why when you see what you can command in the US for it! - Jonathan Ward is in my opinion the greatest Resto-Mod guy ... and his Bronco's, LC100's and FJs are dream cars for me (he's slowed down LC100s due the difficulty of sourcing clean ones int he US)!

I think it’s a locality thing, gonna drive to Dubai to find this straight-angled shovel… I reckon they’re called Spade and Not Scoop 😅

Thanks bro for the links, I think after a while, due to insurance and old engine, I’m gonna retire the LC100 and try to sell it as a classic 😉

Since that guy sold to celebrities, his ones look better valued than Vogue Industries luxury-mods 4x4s https://www.vogueindustries.com/4x4
