Hi @varunmehndiratta thanks for arranging the convoy; the LC is still in garage tho, so i'll be with the Y62 Patrol, need to test its new high-clearance bumpers & skid plates anyways 😂  No worries if u need to re-arrange, i can be center or sweeper with the big car 😅

oh no....Zeddy with the Y62.....there goes what probably little would remain of the track..... 😜

hence i'm offering to be the Sweeper, with the Boat + Geolandar 18", it may pose challenge to anyone after center-point 😂

@Mus_hus78 like Charlie said, if u wanna know the reason, best to stalk my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/zeddyiskandar/   But I'll give you the short version:

I am rebuilding the whole car! 😂 It might take a year for it to be "stable" and no longer in garages. I don't believe in 1 garage that can do-it-all except the expensive dealer, so it's being pased around in Engine Builders, Gear Experts, Auto Electricians, and other specialized garages 😁  Currently it's in the Engine Builder cos I broke 1 piston out of 8 V8 pistons... I have video of me driving and the car making Helicopter Chopper sound, but since it's Toyota, it was still driveable even with Piston Knocking the block 😂

Dear Sand Sailors.

Thanks for joining up for drive. Was a beautiful outing on sand - awesome terrain, not so hot weather and an amazing convoy. It truly fulfilled my Need for Speed..😂

Starting off at 5:30am the convoy Zig zagged through the beautiful bowls of Sweihan to cover a distance of 57km in 3.5 hours at an exhilarating moving speed of 25kmph, ending spot on at 9:00am as planned. 

The fact that not even once we had to use the ropes is true testament of how well the whole convoy managed the challenges. Refusals were nicely reattempted to success and stucks were nicely self recovered with minimal use of shovels. Ofcourse the credit for this also goes to an awesome support team @Zed @Ashok chaturvedi and the master himself @Srikumar Thanks all for your support. 

 @takeshi sobue - Takeshi San, a perfect first FB drive with only some minor refusals, which eventually were well handled during reattempt. Very well done 👍 Just try to be a bit more responsive on radio. It's surely not easy especially while mind is busy maneuvering the vehicle - key is just take things easy and if need be stop, communicate and start again.. 👍 

 @Indra Ozola your past driving experience and 700hp of power under that hood was very much clear through the drive. There wasn't any challenge that challanged your Ram today. Just try to go a bit easy on the gas and let your ship sail smoothly through the dunes, it's fun to hear that roar however the smooth soft rock has its own charm 👍😊

 @Shahid Mehmood First drive in Sweihan  and that too after a long break from off roading, surely wasn't going to be an easy day out- still you managed to handle it gracefully. A few more drives and eventually the rythmn will catch up..😊

 @Imran Kashif very nicely driven. Just be a bit more cautious with criss crossing. FB is where we start to learn these things so i am sure over next few drives you will catch up with it - till then if not sure steer down (NO counter steering and no fighting gravity). 

 @Pascal - a perfect day on sand for you and your 4Runner.  I didn't had direct visual, based on radio i believe you had no refusal or stucks today. Even your control through the criss crossing was really good 👍

Thanks again and looking forward to see you sometime soon..
