Thanks @Gaurav. This comes as a hat-trick:

- It is almost 3 years, to the day,  I have been part of this great club. 

- I now have 50 drives with Carnity

- Moving up the ranks to align with my personal objectives as an offroader 

One thing I would like to shed light on which I am thankful for @Carnityis not only the weekly dune bashing drives but building the confidence to take on the UAE outdoors and the desert environment. Thanks to this club, i now have the foundations which allow me to enjoy the UAE outdoors more than the camels do sometimes  

Looking forward for more ahead...Thanks again @Carnity
