Dear All, hope you all had a great week and ready for weekend adventures.

 

Given the large number of WL on the drive I'd urge everyone to reconfirm their plans and if remove the RSVP if there is any change in plan to allow for others on the WL to join.

[Islam Soliman]

Thanks all for joining the drive today and making it a fun one and thanks for all the support @Imteeaz. Well done and congratulations @Julien Recan and @Marek_was003 for your first second lead and sweep which you both handled very well. Thanks @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad for the help with the stressed baby gazelle.. hopefully reunited with the mom and rest of the herd.

 

for those who had popouts today, pls make sure to visit your tire shop as soon as possible to clean the tire and do the needful balancing.

 

looking forward for driving with all of you soon again
