Gregory Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 @Srikumar I reluctantly need to pull out from the drive tomorrow 😔 but looking forward to the next one 👍 Maybe this gives @ASAD. a chance to come off the waitlist, onto the drive. Have fun everybody! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srikumar Posted May 28, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Alright Sweihan boys and girls, we are less than 12 hours from the start of the drive. Convoy Numbering would be announced during the briefing. See you at 5:00 AM. P.S. Those who arrive late by the usual couple of minutes, will be volunteering for all the shoveling duties for tomorrow. 😂 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranjan Das Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hi All, on E66, ADNOC Al Bida (859) seems to be the nearest fuel station to the starting point. Any other suggestions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Looper Posted May 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) The old lady dune was not benevolent on us initially. Needed 3 sacrifices to satisfy her. @Vanessa8580’s MAF sensor and a couple of pop outs. As correctly predicted by @Mohamad Anwer the bad luck lasted 3 count and then we began. It was FB+ for name sake only. I could sense that @Srikumar was pushing the drive and it was pretty much an Intermediate drive, considering that almost all of the drivers were at that level. Loved every minute of the drive. Sweihan has the one of the most spectacular dunes and we had a chance to enjoy all of it . Frankly it was much more than the worth of the effort of getting up early in the morning and driving all the way. @munkybizness was excellent host and second lead for the drives. A big thanks to @Josh T. for managing the rear of the convoy. @Salim Akhtar on his first Fewbie+ was excellent and I am impressed by his driving skills considering that every one else was an intermediate or above. Well done. Edited May 29, 2022 by Looper 6 3 1 4 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ranjan Das Posted May 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 We had fun today - old lady dune’s blessing or not - it was fun - started with pushing myself out of the bed at 2:30 in morning, driving to the starting point through the unpaved road google maps took me, @Vaibhav and @Waqas Parvez from to meeting all of you there smiling broadly - beaming with anticipation of thrills that lay ahead. Thrilled I was! Fluid drive with very few refusals and stucks; big followed by bigger bowls, not to forget Sri was setting the pace! Absolutely amazing. @Vanessa8580, hope your ride is fine and can be sorted out in quick time. thanks @Srikumar for the lovely adventure. already looking forward to your next. Kudos to @munkybizness and @Josh T. for the support - thanks 8 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to @munkybizness and @Josh T. for the support - thanks Thank you @Srikumarfor an adventures trip at Sweihan today, and for pushing the group to nice challanging new areas, the scenery and the vast open untouched dunes was a great relief to see!! The drive was nice and smooth, despite the unfortunate breakdown of Vanessa's car and a couple of popouts and some minor refusals. @munkybiznessand @Josh T.thank you for all the great support @Looper you were also a great support with a few refusals. @Salim Akhtaryou drove very well and probably had the best experience with an amazing advanced team! 👏 It is a great pleasure to see you all the rest of the team always which is becoming a regular weekend treat to me 👍 👌 👍 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
