Naveen Raj Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 @GauravSoni what an amazing drive bhai, no words to describe as it was kind of an extreme action which was deserved well in Al Quaa and u did justice to it. Everyone drove exceptionally well. @Krishna Rhope your serpentine belt issue is sorted out. Looking forward for Al Quaa part 2. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
