Morning Fewbie Plus Desert Drive 'Tune Squad - The game is on!', Faqa, Dubai - 14th Aug 22

[Varun Mehndiratta]

After a long break from sand, just as the doc recommended, its time to be back in Faqa and explore the beautiful terrain. So, squad "Buckle Up for the Space Jam"

Rules of the game - the drive plan - that's pretty simple.

Rule 1 -  In Tune Squad - we go fast and we go long (range). 

Rule 2 -  We'll start with the first ray of sunlight and explore as many long range dunes as we can - criss-crossing through this beautiful terrain to end where we we'll be around 9am (hopefully). Direction, maps - it ain't matter, its tune squad time,

Hi @Imran Kashif  since it’s your only drive for the weekend (and you were wl1) I have extended the convoy size and you are now added to the drive. 
 

Dear all thanks for response to the drive, it got full and extended to wl quite fast. We still have some ppl in WL, so please ensure that in case your plan changes, let us know well in time (by updating the rsvp) so that we don’t miss out on a slot while others are still waiting. 

Thanks for your understanding. 

[Imran Kashif]

Thanks @varunmehndiratta🙏🏽 When the drive is full, I’m unable to choose the manage option. I should’ve informed you earlier.

It’s been a while since we’ve driven together and this time in your lead too. Super excited! You know which “tunes” I’ll be playing 😎

Dear Tune Squad 

Thanks for signing in for the drive. We have an awesome convoy with amazing drivers and vehicles, all set to take over monstrous dunes at Faqa. 
 

All squad communication will be through Channel 1.

Please make sure to be on time.
Faqa in general has an extra terrestrial mystery to it and I understand that shamal has brought in a soft and deceptive shroud of fresh sand, further intensifying the effect. So ensure you are well rested and well hydrated as this terrain will surely test the best of our skills and attention. We surely don’t want this - 

Convoy order is as below 

1. @varunmehndiratta Grey Wrangler

2. @Ashok chaturvedi Yellow FJ, SL

3. @Imran Kashif Maroon FJ

4. @takeshi sobue in a mean machine he calls FJ (I don’t believe it). 

5. @Amr Aydin Green Jeep

6. @Morshedi Yellow Wrangler

7. @munkybizness in Center on his Safari

8. @KAMALIO Silver Rubicon

9. @Imteeaz in Golden Patrol

10. @Gregory Beautiful Pajero 3.8

11. @Beide Worku Blue F150

12. @Santoso Marjuki Another blue and another Jeep. 

13.  @Karthik Raptor will be at sweep. 
 

See you all at Faqa, this sunday.
