It's a bit of a long convoy for a Fewbie Plus Ride, but i am sure with the great support we will manage  

We will be using Channel 5- 446.10625 Mhz.

See you all tomorrow morning !

I have a post-DCT-syndrome, apologies my doctor sez not to do hard work including shoveling 😄  I am here just for @Frederic's stories and @Luke K P's coffee...  best support I can do is, while sipping coffee, pull a gentle tug 😜

No doubt, I see great Support in the Middle and also at the End. Rest assured, any stucks will be winched by the Middle and any pop-outs will be fixed in no-time by the Expert who has experienced a lot of it...

But it's Fred + Fewbie Plus, so expect a good-flow with rhythm and fun 👍

Yes the key is not to step on the throttle, turn off the engine, get out of the car and pull by hands and pray the magic kinetic rope will gently tug the car down 😂
