Popular Post Karthik Raptor Posted December 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) First of all, I would like to thank @Carnity and all the Marshals+ the support team @Frederic, @Gaurav Soni, @Jeepie, @Brette, @Russ, @Gaurav, @JeromeFJ (I always remember what he mentioned in his drive report “Let the Raptor be free and use this power! “), @Srikumar, @Niki, @Anish S, @Kailas, @Vanessa8580, @Dodi Syahdar, @Chaitanya D, @Looper who I have driven with so far, making me feel safe and confident in my new hobby (actually passion). You all are true professionals with meticulous planning & execution skills, supporting each other and make this club, a great club to be associated with, where safety is paramount. I still remember my absolute newbie drive on 05.11.2021, super excited and nervous at the same time, waking up every hour the previous night to check the alarm 😅. The last 7 weeks has been one of the most humbling experience I ever had. It has also been like starting a 'new relationship' with my motor. Like any other relationship, we started spending more time with each other to the point where I sold off my second car and started driving my truck to work ever since 😂. We are still in the process of understanding each other's strengths and weaknesses and it's blossoming into an ever lasting one. Lastly, thank you all for your wishes, some of you whom I have driven with, but it's truly welcoming to see from whom I know only by their names or from their previous posts. Look forward to continue this amazing journey into the New Year and beyond. Happy Driving!! Edited December 26, 2021 by Karthik Raptor 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
