Gertjan Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 @M.Seidam, thanks for a great drive! It was a nice challenge and good intro to IM level. Thanks for all the friends with whom I had the pleasure of spending the first day of the new year! For sure less time on IM drives to capture pictures. I found some opportunties to capture some memmories. All the best for 2023 with many great drives! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Seidam Posted January 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Trip report Driving along E66 “ the road of memories “ … when I passed Lisaili just remembered how many time we broke through in a quick afternoon spin after work or early morning thinking of how the first Fewbies in my convoy would do in the technical terrain … when I reached Murqab sparked in my mind the beautiful drive we did on jan First 2022 … jumping to Sweihan drives now and I was about to miss the entry to our meeting point 😅. Luckily I didn’t and said to my self hang on the far south is waiting and has lots in the pocket of 2023 , I hope . the Solar Power Tower “ the chimney “ was like never seen it like that before , just beautiful as if greeting us all on day one in 2023 All of us were on time except @Beide Worku who missed it. Hope all good for him. as I mentioned earlier in the intro the drive consisted of three parts the TRM and to my surprise every one did more than great especially @Tareq Al Turq and @Gertjan ( their first IM drive ) excellent driving and communication , very well done . In the Technical part , despite all my attempts to get some one stuck had failed 🤣and this speaks of how good you were my friends and truly deserved to get so quickly to part 2 the Rewarding part after a short break we took. Didn’t take us long to reach little Sweihan as i pumped it to the max 😄in a “catch me if you can” manner , still the guys are keeping up in the quick twisty and double to triple switches over the ridges . there even in the technical bowels which are nasty in some points we got our first true work. @MMansoor managed to pop out the right front tire of his beast. @Davie Chase took over and in no time was fixed . And in this one I realise that learning never ends at any point . The little trick was usufull in the right hands 😉 one hour left and it’s time for part three heading straight toward our exit negotiating a Mixed kind of terrain. Well still I couldn’t finish the drive before I managed to crest my self ( 50% was intentional 🤣) and the guys answered all the questions precise and correct and helped me to keep the promise of NO ROPES @Vaibhav without your perfect second lead negotiation we could have grown some muscles especially in the first part😄. Thank you my friend. @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Simon D and @Fabien Monleau you kept the strong train even more stronger and unbreakable. Very well done and pleasure to drive with you guys always. @Imteeaz hope to see you soon in the support family as i always considered you one of them . Excellent bro. last but not the least thank you @Davie Chase for the sweep as always sleek and helpful when ever needed. glad we kept the new winch untouched😉 .. oh btw here is the link to the SPT https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power thank you all again and wish you all a very happy and healthy new year 🙏 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imteeaz Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 @M.Seidam what a better way to kick-start the new year 2023 than going for a drive under your lead. We really enjoyed the technical terrains, and the high speed chase across the dunes, whenever we could push our toys. For sure I will look into the promotion to Support Group in the near future. Being supported by @Vaibhav @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler @Davie Chase@Fabien Monleau @Simon D really made my life easy during the drive, though I had to go through the churned-up tracks at the back. Most of the time, I was following @Fabien Monleau tracks as he was always looking for fresh tracks to avoid any refusals - thanks pal. @MMansoor great to see you again buddy in your V8 - did not get to hear your roar this time as i was 2 cars ahead of you. @Gertjan @Tareq Al Turq you never gave us the slightest hint that it was your first IM drive; you have truly learned well the lessons coming from FB+ and I am confident that you can only get better at IM level. Until next time, enjoy your week. Cheers N.B: @Gertjan thanks for the amazing capturing some of our great moments 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP1011 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 2023 - A fantastic start, couldn't have asked more than to do the drive we experienced - Thanks @M.Seidam for this fantastic drive ! Right from the start till the end , the focus, concentration, judgement of keeping right distance, and the fast pace in second half, it had everything of what we had in 2022 various drives - Hence I would say helped me atleast to recollect of how amazing the times were in 2022 and what 2023 looks like Great bunch of people in the convoy - And the 2 newbies in IM level - Not even once i felt they were doing first time IM - this is certainly one of very challenging IMs I did and lucky were @Gertjan and @Tareq Al Turq to experience this in their first drive itself ! Congratulations Folks ! @Vaibhav - Vaib, the challenges u accepted all through being second lead and proactively taking alternate lines at times, just assured us, how perfect SL you were. Absolutely fantastic and all times in my mind i was watching what distance you were keeping and wondering on your amazing judgment ! Always great pleasure to have @Fabien Monleau @Simon D@Imteeaz @MMansoor as part of convoy ! Great to see you guys and collectively, we made it happen - No Ropes on day 1 of 2023 @Davie Chase - Thanks for sweeping us and I can imagine how more challenging it would have got being in last , with the kind of track we have been over - fantastic feat ! The winch, perhaps some more waiting time for it - I couldn't have the chance to see and learn what magic you did during the pop-out, perhaps need to be next to you next time to learn those techniques Some pictures in gallery too See you all soon Gentlemen ! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
