Morning Fewbie Desert Drive - GO TECH II - 30 Jan 2022

[Felix Obst]

Hi@Islam Soliman, hi all, 

I have to step out this weekend my engine light is on and my car is not really shifting anymore. Seems to be a serious issue with the transmission. I have no hope that Jeep will fix this tomorrow. 

So guys on the waiting list, you are the lucky ones...for me it will be a sad weekend, I will probably cry on Sunday morning because I'll miss this amazing drive! 

Have fun and I hope my Jeep will be ready for next week again. 

Sorry for the inconvenience, Islam! 

Regards, 

Felix

Really Wonderful drive @Islam Soliman . It was not only a drive but a physical exercise too. Shoveling Shoveling .............

Thank you @Charlie  @Vanessa8580 for the support throughout the drive.

As warned it was a drive to test our skills, control, recovery, communication, patients and team work and I think all done very well.

Looking forward to join similar technical drives.
