Hello! I've already done the Absolute Newbie, about a year ago, but it was under a different account name. I've signed up for this one as a refresher, and also because I don't think the site will let me book a newbie drive until I've done the absolute newbie

See you on Sunday!

Hello all.  I'm Raed and a new member to the Club.  I have a 2018 Wrangler JK manual trans.  All requirements available.  Been driving for over a year now with at least 20 drives with another club.... but would love to learn from this one too.

@Eli Zandro Hamoy, I believe you have already done an Absolute Newbie drive, with @Gaurav, so you must have inadvertently signed up for this AN drive. I'll sign you out, so you may sign into an available Newbie drive. Thanks

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, surprisingly I have not signed up for Absolute newbie drive this weekend. I got even more surprised I found my name on the manage team. No worries, there must have been a small glitch in the system. Thank you.

Hi @Ale Vallecchi pls remove my name in the list. Thank you.
