Hi @Davie Chase,

my apologies, I’ll have to drop off from this one. Wish you all a great fun drive. 

[Davie Chase]

Dear Desert Wanderers, @Mark B, @Gurcharan Mehta, @Frans M, @Rk ram, @Cha, @george charbel, @Rob S, @Emanuel, @Tom B, & @Bjoern thank you all for showing up on time today and for the great drive, and company. I hope you all enjoyed the drive as much as I did. I have put a few pics in the Gallery.

We had a little of everything today and you guys handled it all brilliantly. 
Great team work to fix a pop out in F1 style time frame, thanks to some superb Jack work from @Tom B and prowess on the shovel and @Rob S with some also nifty shovel work although the water bottle was a bit of a let down

Congratulations to @Bjoern for your first ever cresting, it was a nice one which allowed us to get the shovels out and aid in a great self recovery.

Fantastic second lead by @Mark B reacting quickly and effortlessly to my various commands even though I got left and right mixed up 😂 

Superb support today meant that I was confident in taking some nice lines as I knew the convoy was in safe hands and being watched over by @Cha in the middle and @Rob Ssweeping us. You guys did an amazing job supporting the drive, thanks you it was much appreciated.

The rest of the convoy drove brilliantly and made for a free flowing smooth drive.

thankyou and have a great rest of your weekend 

 

😀😀😀😀😀😀

Thanks for another amazing drive @Davie Chase. My first FB+ drive was filled with energy, faster pace, and my first pop out. Thanks @Tom B and @Rob S for your support. That was the fastest pop out repair I've ever seen. Good to meet some new members and looking forward to driving with you again. @Cha thanks for the mods chats and sharing your experience. 

[Rob S]
