@Shaaz Sha thanks for this mornings drive, it was good fun with plenty of variety and challenges for all. Great attitude from the whole convey and most enjoyable. Thanks hopefully see you again soon.

Hello ... Thank you guys for signing up and making it on time to the meeting point. It was a chilling day to start with and after the deflation and briefing we were on our way to hit the sand. It was a bit slow and difficult for us at the start with those cross tracks and churned up sand where we had few refusals , but every one did exceptionally well. Good work guys. After our share of initial refusals.. i think the convoy woke up 😜 and then we were all unstoppable.. It was a pleasure to drive with you guys and enjoyed it. Thank you @Matt.T for a well executed sweep and @Chinthaka Ruwan for all your help and support as the CF. You guys were amazing today. Though we had a very capable convoy..you guys were up to the mark when and where needed . Thank you guys. Thank you @Thomas Varghese  and @Aisha Sfor your partial 2nd leads. You people managed to bring out your best as 2nd leads. well done and keep it up guys. @Aisha S..you did a great job in handling your car in those side slopes and soft sand.. good work and keep it up. @Adhir Saxena and @Gregory.. the Pajero boys of the convoy.. did really good .. You did catchup with the convoy in all the ways possible.. except a few times due to the super soft churned up sand.. 👏👏👏👍. @Bernard Kalaani, @munkybizness, @Chris Wing and @imranaasghar81...i believe you had a blast today.. didn't seem to have any issues and didn't hear much from you guys on the radio. Good work guys. Thank you all once again for a super charged drive and making it all the way to our exit point with out any issues. You guys were all amazing. see you soon guys..😃. some pics in the gallery

Thank you @Shaaz Shafor an excellent drive. Thank you @Chinthaka RuwanAnd @Matt.T for executing the CF and sweep positions to perfection and all my fellow convoy mates for a good saturday morning.. until next time.

[Chinthaka Ruwan]

@Shaaz Sha Thanks for the excellent drive today. Everyone did fantastic otherwise we would not be able to reach Shuwaib. Few times we tried to cover full track and couldn't do that.   Excellent work. Thanks @Matt.T for the support. See you all soon. Have a great week.

This drive was extra special as I got the chance to do two things: run through Area 53, and the second - meeting more new people at Carnity. Familiar names on the forums were unmasked (within restrictions) and it was an absolute pleasure to share this convoy with you fine folks.

Area 53 unleashes a continuous ridge riding climb that makes it both challenging and insanely fun. Never a dull moment, thank you @Shaaz Shafor unraveling this area for me. 

In the center, @Chinthaka Ruwan, your 300k+ X is a beast that does not relent. Thank you for keeping the second half strung tightly to the forward.

@imranaasghar81is so fly that he runs his lights during the day and is obsessing over the left side of the car that I don’t really think is askew. Put those eccentricities aside  , and just hearing you roar up the bowls with sand flowing through your chromed wheels was a sight to behold. 
 

@Chris Wing, I am going to take a lot of lessons from how you made space, the lines you took when holding and the leisurely pace you took had me in awe. Sorry for bleeding your ears with my EDM. The drive was such a trance.

@Bernard Kalaani, your topless look really suits you  and following you helped me tune out and play some sick tunes, which inadvertently led to me putting a frown on my bash plate
 

@Aisha S, you made short work of so many climbs today. Watching you and your SWB from a distance was a joy. And as @Thomas Vargheseput it, you’re the only Wrangler he’s seen not fishtail. Great control over your machine

@Adhir Saxena, I look forward to driving with you soon! And @Gregory, two drives in one week with you on the same convoy is always a pleasure.

@Matt.T, thank you for keeping the end tight

See you all out on the sands again soon!

@Shaaz Sha 3 drives in 3 weeks has been great! Thanks for another good one today - beautiful and challenging terrain in area 53.... thanks @Matt.T and @Chinthaka Ruwan for keeping us all together. Great to see familiar faces.. 

Appreciate everyone's patience towards the end when I didn't make that dune, and my subsequent try's - a bit disconcerting for me, as hasn't happened before - even though I know my rev limiter issue. Must now find some ways around the problem, and move forward. 

Have a good week everyone 👍
