Thank you @Hisham Masaadfor an amazing drive. This was one of the best Intermediate drives i have been in @CarnityWaking up early in the morning and driving 1 hour to meeting point was just worth it. I know we could not do a Mad Max Plus as @Srikumarcould not make it and definitely everyone missed him. Everyone in the convoy drove exceptionally well. Yes there were few refusals in the start but surprisingly not on the big dunes. When everyone saw the the big dunes they unleashed their inner MAD MAX with hardly any refusals. Special mention @Fabien Monleau I remember last intermediate drive we drove with @Shaaz Shaat the same location and you had challenges with climbing the slopes but this drive you did exceptionally well without any issues. Seems like you have got the secret to tame the beauty. The sand was very soft making it difficult for the back of the convoy as they would get all churned sand. But the drives under the belt of each driver at the back of theconvoy shows how much experience they had and drove without any issues. 

Lastly @Hisham Masaadwe wanted more of the last part but a very good decision to end the drive at 9 am as it was getting hot. 

@ASAD. @Simon Dawood @Fabien Monleau @Waqas Parvez @Mohamad Anwer @Daniel Yang @Chris Wing @Ashok chaturvedi @Amir Amiri @Ranjan Das Thank you for being part of the amazing Convoy. See you soon guys.

It was Hisham's drive - do i need to say more?

but Yes! because it was in Shuwaib and so as to elevate the expectations to the next couple of levels, Waqas christened the drive Mad Max which created such a frenzy that even @Srikumar decided to join. With that, pre-drive anticipations were already on the moon if not the starts!

and the drive lived very much up to it's name and more, maybe not as much on Hisham's scale who dubbed it Mad Max Medium+!!! am sure he would soon entice us all with another one to accomplish what he started yesterday.

We had our oops! moments during drive when some us decided to stop to see how the dunes below looked like from 'up-there'!  loved the team work and coordination on display.

Thank you @Hisham Masaad for the wonderful Sunday morning; If i were to humbly rate, the first 15 mins and the last 45 mins were amongst the best, exhilarating drives i have ever been part of - simply magnificent.

@ASAD. @Simon Dawood @Fabien Monleau @Waqas Parvez @Mohamad Anwer @Daniel Yang @Chris Wing @Ashok chaturvedi @Amir Amiri @Vaibhav - was an absolute pleasure, as always, meeting and driving with you gentlemen. Hope to see you guys soon again

So, what else can I say? MADMAX drive was precisely what the name said, and if anyone could have lived up to it, it would have been none other than the king of the north @Hisham Masaad

The first portion of the drive was tricky with soft sand and the first hill, where @ASAD. was just behind @Hisham Masaad and he had to stuck on the top, for me it was a good learning experience that we should not veer off to the side if we are unable to climb, but instead drive back straight down as it was practically an 80 degree climb

@Vaibhav was in front of me, and @Mohamad Anwer was behind me, since we have been driving together for more than 20plus drives, so we knew each other's pace and synchronize well with each other. It felt like we were fighter pilots flying together, or maybe I was influenced recently by watching Top Gun 😊

However, the entire convoy drove beautifully @ASAD.@Simon Dawood@Fabien Monleau@Vaibhav@Mohamad Anwer@Daniel Yang@Chris Wing@Ashok chaturvedi@Amir Amiri@Ranjan Das, and after a while, I had the sensation that everyone was driving in unison. The second half of the drive started with fewbie MADMAX and swiftly advanced to intermediate MADMAX, while Hisham's level stayed at fewbieplus. Having said that, I would want to urge that @Hisham Masaad and @Carnity have the MADMAX 2 drive, and everyone who supports this should vote 😊
