@M.Seidam Good morning, I may have to drop out of tonights drive unfortunately as I was expecting my jeep to be out of the shop in time for the drive, however it seems that the car needs more repairs done to it leading the oil leaking issue. I hope everyone enjoys the drive I was looking forward to a night exploration of the desert. Till next time everyone!

[M.Seidam]

@Benjamin no worries at all . Take care and see ya next time .

Thank you @M.Seidam I understand RSVP closes at 4 so if I hear from MOPAR and there is still space in your drive before it closes I’ll join back up again. But for the meantime count me not attending until further notice. Cheers

Dear friends 

@Felix Obst our brilliant second lead . @Gary F with his copilot in the beautiful sand runner . @Krishna R I am sure the red X never let you down @Tharun Kumar V who sounded crystal clear. not forgetting @Simon D with his impeccable support in the middle , along the runner Prado driven by the vigilant @Tareq Al Turq who was tailed by @Haitham Khattab whom I am amazed always by his smoothness and determination not to leave anyone behind.

Honestly it was for me such a lovely night drive under the full moon 🌕 despite the the fact it felt in a time as if we were driving in Africa’s Savana 😅 . Next time we should pass by the zoo and free some  zebras 🦓 and giraffe 🦒 and the picture would be complete 😄 

till we meet next time take care and drive safe

Thank you Doc @M.Seidam for a Magical drive in Qudra with the full moon lighting our way.

We experienced everything - tech dunes, side sweeps, ridges and also a surprise stint in the African savannah  

The pace was superb during the middle part and touched intermediate a few times  

I generally come to night drives with less expectations and I can safely say that the off-roader in me was very happy and content last night.

@Felix Obst an amazing second lead and your lines were perfectly in sync with Doc's @M.Seidam lead.

Thank you @Simon D for the support and your helpful tips. Impeccable sweeping done by @Haitham Khattab supported with @Tareq Al Turq.

The convoy performed brilliantly with seasoned off-roaders like @Tharun Kumar V @Gary F in sync with their machines. It was a delight guys.

See you in the sands soon guys.

Until then, keep calm and Ramadan Kareem.

Hey night riders, 

i have to say I was a bit nervous the first 30 minutes of the drive being the second lead at a night drive for the first time. Thank you @Krishna R and @M.Seidam for the nice words!!! It was an awesome experience and I really loved the pace just slowed down by the African savanna from time to time but of course we had to watch out not crashing into a rhino! 
Thank you all for the funny moments and the team work! Ramadan Kareem, happy Easter or just another wonderful weekend in the country of dune bashing! See you in the sand champs!
