Thank you for joining the Drive yesterday and i hope you have enjoyed it as much as i did. we have achieved our target of exiting from the big red side passing through pink rock .. we had a couple of refusals and stucks , but nothing serious that required us to get out the ropes or the shovels .💪 in between @Rafey Hashmi Jimny had a pop out , which i have to say was one of the easiest and fastest pop up fixes we ever had to deal with . I have to say everyone drove really well, 💪🎉 thanks @Benjamin for the great support and @Mike M. for sweeping the convoy . and of course special thanks to @Frederic for making this drive possible Looking forward to see you soon on the next drive below are the drive details 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You took us from the easy warm-up dunes nearby the farms into the bowls closer to the 2nd december cafeteria, where the pace and intensity was taken up a notch. From there, crossing Pink Rock itself and heading towards Big Red we had a good run with only minimal refusals and a mini-pop out Thanks for the support @Mike M. and @Benjamin ! 3 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Marek Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I love the energy! +12oC in the morning and nobody complained! I took a few shots of your cars, I hope you don't mind if I pasted them here (the gallery is maxed out with compression making pictures look so flat). @Abhilash Kottakkal in his Pajero Montero Sport (say what you want, we all know it's a Pajero underneath and that's why it looks so good on the dune!) The quietest and the smoothest of them all - 407 horses of driving pleasure @essam ibrahim @Frederic, I had to google to figure out the car you had... congrats on the rare piece of automotive legend! @Julien Recan flooring to make it count! My wife said it looked like an RC car from the distance. Awesome ride @Rafey Hashmi, congrats on your first popout on this car! @Benjamin reaching the top of the peak: The White Rhino: @Mike M. And the mighty 392, doing it so effortlessly... @Gautam Banka @Simon D I have a new profile picture for you Thanks again for the drive! See you next time! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafey Hashmi Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 My first time with @Simon D, def won't be the last! Nice and challenging - very enjoyable! Learnings from the drive 1. Spacers are necessary after a lift. Thanks for the tip @Frederic. Installed and done! 2. Watched closely to learn as much about the pop out process and yes it was a satisfying pop! 3. Able to do Pink Rock climb from the right for the first time - thanks to the extra momentum and 1st gear only. 4. Egg levelers are a thing for over landing expeditions - thanks to @Mike M. for the info! See you all on the next one #JimnyPower 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
