Popular Post Frederic Posted November 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 DRIVE REPORT As you might know by now, i like exploring new areas, and although i had done the first part of this drive already twice, the other parts were unknown terrain and it felt great to get a super capable convoy through it unscathed. @Jessica Lambert, now equipped with the best AT tyres, cool rims, and a great co-pilot, was superb and pop-out free this time Great driving Jessica ! keep it up ! @Salim Akhtar as usually surprising everyone with his skills and how he masters the Pajero, just like @GauravSoni you are one of the ambassadors of how capable a Pajero is in the right hands ! @Mahmoud Taha and @Ashutosh Garg were our silver bullets today, and the RC car Mahmout brought was doing all the things we are not allowed to do with real cars 🤣 @Amr Aydin you are the iceman of each and every convoy. Warmhearted but super skillful and never a foot wrong in that beautiful Jeep. @munkybizness the smooth approaches you take with the Patrol are a bliss to look at. Great to see a fellow camper, with @Looperand @GauravSoni also camping the night before. Next time i'd love to join you guys. Last but not least: @Asif Hussain who had a last-minute opening in the fence and joined us on our adventure. Great seeing you again and each drive becomes memorable with you in it ! The plan for next time is to reach Fayah. If not, then we will exit earlier and plan it for another time 😁 As is mentioned, drive stats mean little to me, the camaraderie, atmosphere, and laughs mean so much more. See you all in the sand soon ! Link to the Relive video: https://www.relive.cc/view/vMq5jeBXEQv 7 1 3 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Jessica Lambert Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Thank you @Frederic for a steep learning curve! No pun intended Great to finally meet the author behind some of my favourite articles on here. Thank you to the whole convoy for your support and patience, especially @Looper, sorry for having you unwind your winch for nothing! Speaking of, @Asif Hussain, thank you for coaching me out of that stuck- I would never in a million years have thought that was self-recoverable! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem at all. As usual @GauravSoni was with me a surprise addition at the last moment for this drive a la last drive when he along with Kailas joined after our evening drive that ended at Qudra which was during the Ramadan period and then one more surprise was @Asif Hussain. Not many drives you will see 5 members convoy supported by 5 members in manage tab but this was one of them. My love for Abu Dhabi is increasing by the day. I was quite happy with my car - somehow it behaved very well taking me to around all the bowls and up all the steep climbs without any struggle. Thank you @Frederic for your drive, I could only recognise the starting and ending of the drive from our last time aound here and rest of it was totally new. And apologies for what can be the best example of "Task Failed Successfully" after the end of the drive. @Salim Akhtar you are quite impressive with your car. I remember last time I drove with you in @Srikumar's Fewbie Plus drive in which you were the only fewbie plus drivers and rest all were Intermediate level. As usual you kept pace with the rest of more experienced convoy. @Mahmoud Taha we have been driving almost every week together for last 3-4 weeks and I can see you doing better every week. From the Oktoberfest drive to this week you have shown improvement in leaps and bounds. I have video-graphic memories of all those drives so can vouch for it. @Ashutosh Garg you drive sensibly always and good to see you after a long time in this drive. @Jessica Lambert be fearless. It is great to see you take your time taking turns and understand the terrain before you leap in to it. @Amr Aydin every time I drive with you all I hear from you is nothing. you are cool as cucumber and just do your thing with your car. @munkybizness it was great to see you again since our last drive in Ramadan & hope to see you more often. @Mahmoud Taha you were also present in that drive. @Asif Hussain it is always a pleasure driving with you. Last time it was at Yellow Truck, that I drove sleepy throughout the drive, obviously this time it was different - a lot has changed since then. Thank you for blessing with your presence, it is fun watching you doing things with your X. One moment I cherish is when @GauravSoni did a radio check because there was no chatter for a long time. My theory is that when there is radio silence - it means everyone is engrossed in the thrill of driving and they are not only driving well but also enjoying the drive at the same time. it is in the tranquil state of drive that is meditative in nature. Thank you all for your participation and see you all soon once agin in one more adventure. I will post a drive video in about a week's time hopefully sooner, in the meantime updated some pics in the gallery. 4 1 2 don't drive like its your last one.
