Strange it's Friday and no one dropped off yet from the list.

Sincerely, the WaitListed One 😅

@Frans M I just noticed your last drive was in June of this year. I would highly recommend you get used to the sands again by doing a Fewbie level drive first, as this one will be a fast-paced one.

Will leave the decision up to you and will leave you in the convoy list. Think about it and let me know.

Thanks

[Frederic]

Good morning all !

Please find the convoy list for tomorrow morning attached here. We will be using Channel 4 - 446.081Mhz.

I would recommend not to bring any passengers along as this will be a fast-paced rollercoaster style of drive if all goes to plan.  

See you all tomorrow

Need to cancel AGAIN on you @Frederic. Car has overnight decided to dump coolant all over my parking sport so looks like I'll be spending tomorrow at the mechanic. 😢😢😢

@Frederic noted with your suggestions.  I had been busy with overseas travel these two months and no opportunity to join offroad drives. Will remove myself from this list. Thanks.
