Decided to take e66, might be 4 min late, I’ll deflate quick 

[JAISROCK]

Missed the convoy, came very late. I took a wrong route due to road closures.😩

[Andrei S]

Thanks All! Great drive! 
 

Does anyone have videos of nakhla climbs?

[Amr J]

Fantastic drive indeed. Thanks @Gaurav and team - Nagra dune for a Fewbie level drive was a real treat, and everyone did great.
