@Asif Hussain Hello, how you are good, is the event solely for 6 people? When can we get confirmation if more spots will be available? Going to these areas takes some scheduling, so the earlier the better to plan the logistics ( if tomorrow, even better :P)

[Zed]

Wow, i'm late to the party (wife's permission took time 😂 ) and am already in Waiting List #5 

@Asif Hussain bhai, long time no see, let's make it Maximum 10, close the drive and make Convoy Order 😁🔥🙏

Important lesson about asking wife for forgiveness, rather than asking for permission 😅 @Zed

@Hugo I am fine and hope the same with you. This drive has an RSVP limit of 6 members.

Dropouts can happen until the end of the week, and the waitlist will get a chance automatically in order. Since the RSVP will be closed on Friday, I will still allow participation if someone drops out at the last moment. Keep your car ready and I’m sure you can manage the rest of the things.
