For the ones that did the FB+ drive last week with me, it will be a similar route but i will try to up the throttle one notch further if all goes well. @Jona@Jaro Tuzinsky@Mus_hus78@Zed you guys got the first flavor last week so you'll be prepared for that extra push  

Looks like it's down to 10 people + managers, so it will be a Replay 🎥 of last week BUT with Fast-Forward Button ⏩ *zoom zoom 🏎️🏎️ 👍

Good morning Fred …. Sorry I can’t come as I am not feeling well . 

[Chris Wing]

I’ll be there at 6, dont leave without me😅

[Frederic]

Thank you all for joining guys !

@Chris Wing stellar job as a second lead buddy ! No dusty pistons in sight !  

@Jona You've shown your skills already last week, so i knew you'd be doing great as well today !

@Bjoern Radiating coolness today and superb skills. Well done buddy !

@Joseph Raju i know now the capabilities of the Patrol, and in this terrain it's not easy to navigate the heavyweight through the dunes, but you did it masterfully !

@Jaro Tuzinsky Another fun morning out similar to last week, but with extra boost !

@Salim Akhtar Fantastic driving !! Keep an eye out for next week's drive  

@Santoso Marjuki i hope your son is feeling better ! Excellent driving of course as always !

@Zed you were not forced to sweep today 😁 Hope you had fun anyways !

@DP1011 Fantastic sweep duties today buddy and somehow at one point the climbing became easier. Was it really the tires ?🤣

I was blessed with having my mentor on board as a passenger today, @Gauravwho did a stellar job at not getting sick from the rollercoaster drive and we had a good chit-chat while jumping over the dunes. Thanks for joining buddy !

 

Wishing you all a good remainder of the weekend ! I will be back in this area very soon.....
