Popular Post Frederic Posted October 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Oh boy… I left the office by 5 with a sea of time to go grab a bite, Top up the tank, take some rest, and get prepped for an amazing night drive. Until the battery died at the gas station… Several jump start attempts and eventually a push later from a few guys that were angels sent from heaven, I googled the nearest workshop and rushed to get a new battery installed. Hence I was a bit late but with a little help from my dearest friends we were quickly deflated and good to go. My adrenaline levels were still a bit high from the rush to the meeting point and they would stay pretty high the entire night, owing to Sri squeezing out every inch of usable dune or slope. Resulting in Little Blue screaming with pleasure 😅 Some shoveling and fixing cars are key fun ingredients in those kinds of drive, and when @Gauravs battery also died the same night, that convinced me even more that our cars are as linked together as much we are. Kudos to @Zed for taking his white ship of the desert unscathed (well almost) through this terrain. Also @Mus_hus78 and @GauravSoni with LWB Pajeros surfing through the dunes and proving that they are so underrated. @Ruan van den Heever @Xavier Treasurer @Asif Hussainand @Gaurav were the perfect team and took every challenge with a laugh and came back asking for more. There is absolutely nothing else that could be improved, and your 100th lead was memorable. Forget the bulldozered dunes and cross tracks, there is something to be said about perfect imperfections that make it “unforgettable”. Thanks to all for being part of it and the great night out ! 1 1 1 5 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Asif Hussain Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Congrats @Srikumar for completing your 100 lead drives. I am happy to be a part of your platinum drive which i will never forget, it was a super duper drive. You scaled all tall dunes which we really get scared to do at daylight. @Gaurav @Frederic @Srikumar @Mus_hus78 @Zed @Ruan van den Heever @Xavier Treasurer @Gaurav Soni it was wonderful experience to drive with all of you. @Ruan van den Heever was like a cop in our convoy with blue and red flashing light. Following you was like i was chasing a cop vehicle. 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put second-hand in and break it again 4 weeks later (assuming 2 Fewbie Plus every week) 😅 At the time, the smart thing to do was wait for Brand New and spend the 4000dhs one time and hope it lasts another 20 years, rather than spend 2000dhs on a second-hand item which already had 20 years life on it and not sure when it will break 😂 Edited October 31, 2021 by Zed typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
