@Ale Vallecchi unfortunately.my car has not been able to be repaired since my check engine light came on during Saturdays drive. I will have to remove myself from the drive. Hope you all have a fantastic afternoon!

Hi all, just want to say thanks for a good drive yesterday. We had a very good time, also in the evening where we went off-off-road and had a nice dinner.
 

@Ale Vallecchi Well organized and comfortable pace, given it was a newbie drive. Thank you.

@topgear Nice sweep job, good communications!

@Glenn W Keeping the middle safe, thanks for that.

 

See you all next time.

It was a great afternoon formula, public holiday + relaxing mid-afternoon drive that finished when the temperature was cool and pleasant. 
 

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for putting this together and showing us the pristine dunes that we could enjoy. Thanks for entrusting me with the sweep role. It was very enjoyable. 
 

Everyone drove very well - the rope nor the shovel did not come out even once. We just had to manage a few refusals that were common and expected. 

@Glenn W thanks for keeping the middle class of the convoy save. 
@Premjit Vappala it was a pleasure to watch you navigate the Super Safari through the dunes with passengers on board. 
@Guido Ferriani you did well when you stopped and announced on the radio when you lost the tracks. 
@Mads thanks for explaining to us the wrangler 4x4e. This is the first time  I’m seeing it.

@Suneedh Wrangler good that we chatted a bit during inflation. I am making a mental note that suneedh wrangler drives LC300 😆

@Kirill K thanks for helping me to inflate 2 tyres.  As I told you, I find inflating the most boring part of the drive and you gave me a 50% discount 😆😆😆

I have shared some photos in the gallery

Hi @topgear. I believe that the gallery is unavailable for weekday drives. I will ask and revert. Thanks

@topgearhaha I still have a Wrangler JK which I bring to the drive sometimes. Just when I feel like driving with a bit more comfort, i bring the LC. 😉
