Thank you to @GauravSonifor executing a very unique and enjoyable drive. If it wasn’t for the “commentators curse” at the end it may have been a uneventful morning however it’s those last moments which is what makes these drives so enjoyable as everyone bands together to help each other out. And as you can see from the map below we were true as could be in holding 24.8 degrees. Next trip is 24.8 degrees squared 🤣 Edited June 10, 2023 by Bravoecho 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary F Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Really nice drive , I enjoyed the technical terrain a lot @GauravSoni and only ran into one turn that I had to do the old, stop and reverse to make the tight turn, of course my rear bumper took a few more hits, a metal one is in my future. great to catch up everyone . See you at ARB @Stumpy Paj @Benjamin @Joseph Raju any update on the patient , electrical or mechanical issues ? @Ahmad Nerat great photos and ideas on positioning the cars for a photo shoot , while the rest of the convoy was in recovery mode. that was a fun area.

A slight disagreement occurred with the manager and they eventually replaced it but only with another of the same. If I wanted to upgrade to the new style for a discounted price of 420dhs I was welcome. Needless to say I can get proper rated air hose for a lot less than that and swap the fittings over. Might save you a trip, just cut the hose and reattach the fitting. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
