Christian Andras Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Damn I was happy to secure my spot on this drive, but I have an unplanned work meeting tomorrow, so I have to bail out…:-( At least someone in WL will be happy. @Foxtrot Oscar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxtrot Oscar Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Good morning fellow adventurers, The weather has taken a toll on the dunes, this area famed for its razor sharp ridges and smooth bowls will be scarred with the rains and high winds of the past week or so. There will be unexpected cracks in the ridge , hardened sands that cause you to slip when you don't expect it and some high walls on ridges. All the more fun for us as we try to blast our way through it!! Bring your A game! YALLLA!!! Apologies to those on the waitlist that I cannot accommodate however at IM level 12 is the absolute Max we can have in a convoy, if we add anymore it will dilute the drive experience. Those of you who are in, please please please announce now if you can't make it so that I can draft one in from the waitlist We meet at 2pm We are using Radio Channel 2 (two) 446.031 Driver Car Rank Position @Foxtrot Oscar Black Xtrerra Marshal Lead @Arman SWB TJ IM 2nd Lead @Zixuan Huang - Charlie Pathfinder IM 3rd @Zed LC IM 4th @Humayun Ghias Patrol IM 5th @Gok Krish SWB Wrangler IM 6th @Looper SWB Wrangler IM CF @Ranjan Das LWB Wrangler IM 8th @Ilya LWB Wrangler IM 9th @Jorge Stepniak Felippe SWB Wrangler IM 10th @Amir Amiri Ram IM 11th @Russ Wrangler Advisor Sweep 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Foxtrot Oscar Posted January 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Oh my Faqa! You never disappoint! It had been such a long time since I had an Intermediate drive , let alone led one, and to say I was up for it is an understatement! I couldn’t wait to get out there today. We gathered on the Sabka and I wasted no time in getting into the dunes, up and over the tech stuff we went as I was salivating at the prospect of the wonderful Faqa ridges. Go fast or go home was the motto of the day as we annihilated Faqa, I don’t think there was a long-range dune we didn’t hit , we even found the infamous bowl, I do love that mad, looping little bowl of wonderfulness . It’s just so random, amongst those long-range dunes haha. We continued towards Solar and the area known to Carnity as Little Sweihan, oh what fun we had in there! We tore into every dune like a pack of marauding wolves as I searched for bigger and greater challenges , whilst maintaining a very good pace. It was great to be back out there with the you guys. Thank you so much for some excellent driving today Huge shout out to our more novice IM drivers @Zixuan Huang - Charlie and @Zed who were outstanding out there . Well done @Humayun Ghias and @Gok Krish who had flawless drives . @Ranjan Das had a very good drive. @Amir Amiri handled his truck with aplomb and @Ilya, it's always a pleasure to drive with you. Many thanks to @Arman for being a great second lead, I hope you managed to defrost. To @Looper for anchoring everything in the middle and to @Russ for sweeping up at the back. Great support as always guys Did I mention the pace? We covered 92km with 3hrs15mins of driving time BOOM! Even more impressive as we gently made our way out as I was fearful of my car going back into limp mode. Thanks again everyone for indulging me hee hee Until our next adventure 😎 1 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 It was fast and it was furious, and it was fun. What a great drive. With everyone giving their top-notch performance it was a pleasure driving with you @Foxtrot Oscar. A big thanks to @Russ to take care of the tail end.

Ranjan Das Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 A scintillating drive to wrap up the weekend - the drive exceeded all expectations and how! the terrain, the pace and the lead - simply fantastic! Thank you Angela @Foxtrot Oscar for leading the wonderful drive, @Looper for CF and @Russ for all the support. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cha Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thank you @Foxtrot Oscar for this yalla drive in a Sunday afternoon, I indeed needed the concentration that I wouldnt have in the morning. And I haven't had this thrilling pace for a long long while. Great IM start, and I found many places of improvement. Thank you @Looper and @Russ for supporting the drive, flawless as always, and @Arman for a clean 2nd lead, that surely helped me alot driving behind, hope you and Aisha reached home safely. Really impressive to see @Humayun Ghias driving the probably the "stockiest" family friendly y62 in IM drives, even with stock skid plate! @Zed thank you for staying with me solving the limp mode, I figured out later on from Thomas' post, but really appreaciate that you stayed with me for extra half hour!, Nissan OBD is really annoying, have to find out which reader reads Nissan now. 4 hours ago, Looper said: It was fast and it was furious, and it was fun.

The actual moving speed should be higher than what I have shown here. I was taking loops in the desert while @Ranjan Das was self recovering his Jeep, at a low speed so mine is actually on the lower side. 4 don't drive like its your last one.
