Dear @Mahesh_, @Gurcharan Mehta, @Alphin Aloor, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Tareq Al Turq, @Amir Amiri.

I hope you all enjoyed our drive yesterday, as promised it was a high paced challenging drive going through some very tight routes . on several occasions i bumped up the level to intermediate and you guys just nailed it. 

we had a few refusals and and one pop out but with the help of the team we fixed it in no time( please  share the pictured of the pop out if you have some )

@Mahesh_ you did very well as a SL on your 2nd FB+ drive , your reaction to my instructions here imminent 💪

@Gurcharan Mehta it was satisfying to watch you flawlessly driving your V8 jeep Wrangler ... well done ( i think with your driving skills even with a mini cooper 🚗 you will make it through 🤣)

@Alphin Aloorwell done driving that heavy beast of yours .

@Zulfikhar Naiyar & @Tareq Al Turq you did great but i know for you intermediate guys you are used to this pace and driving style

@Amir Amiri thanks for sweeping the convoy 

 

looking forward to see you on the next drive.

cheers

@Simon D Thank you for the compliments. Like I said, it was not the car or the driver but the lead (Simon) that mattered. The italian job was well done in the middle eastern way  and we brought the v8 beast to it. @Alphin Aloor behind me in Y61 was amazing; in fact, together we were well synchronised.  Thank you for the wonderful drive, until we meet agian.
