@Hisham Masaad, this was my first drive under your lead and was far better than my expectation - it was fast, fluid and thrilling. Thank you for curating such an excellent Drive. At times it was challenging for me bringing up the rear behind the beasts – a great experience.

WOW, that's so nice to hear that. Well done @Hisham Masaad

@Hisham Masaad thank you for the fantastic drive today. It had everything, fast, exciting, excellent dunes to play on, superb climbs and steep declines.  cant think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning. However, with all good things come with the not so good lol, so my baby Red Rubicon is at the doctors, having a new bumper put on as we amputated the original one during the drive, (it had already had a bash or two so we just finished what we had started). A big thank you to @Chris Wing for carrying it in your car for the entire drive until i could make space for it. Should have her back up and running on Monday, however, the noise coming from the front differential might take a bit longer  the joys of off roading :):) we have the technology to fix her up as good as new for the next adventure (hopefully next weekend) in the sand pit cant wait as today was a blast. Thanks to the team for waiting whilst we severed the remaining tendons that was still holding the bumper on so i could continue the drive.

@Waqas Parvez thanks for your support as SL and @Ranjan Das thanks for the excellent support as SW.

@Vaibhav  @Daniel Yang @Humayun Ghias @Amir Amiri @MMansoor you guys as always drove superbly. 

 

What a great team today which made the experience even more enjoyable you were all fantastic and great company..

@Davie Chase Sorry to hear about your bumper and differential noise, hope your Rubicon will be fixed up soon and  good.

Thank you for all the nice feed back, and great meeting you today. Yes we had good drive, despite terrain challenges and formation created after strong wind storm. Lots of sharp crests, sharp drops, bulldozer tracks and many small pockets. However, we all managed to enjoy the drive, all met challenges, the speed and all climbs. Well done everyone. In terms of achievements, I was honestly expecting much more, but as I said due to the changes happened, it was challenging. But still in 2 hours moving time, we made about 60 km. Below is the screen shots of the drive report. Thank you and pleasure meeting you again @Waqas Parvez as SL and @Ranjan Das as SW. It has been long since we last met Ranjan. Amazing drivers was happy to see again and really well done @Vaibhav @Davie Chase @Daniel Yang @Chris Wing @MMansoor @Humayun Ghias @Amir Amiri . Managed to have few photos will be in the gallery. Wish you nice weekend ahead.

Take care please

Hisham
