Yes @Emmanuel All good to go! 

Good to know. Thanks for the confirmation. 

We'll be doing a spare tire health check on all the cars today.

By the way, that is another Emanuel and he has 2 m's in his name. Mine has one.

Think you're gonna have to update your name to @WhiteRhinoEmanuel or something to stop these mix ups 😅 I've made the mistake a few times myself @Emanuel

Hi @Emanuel. 

 

I don't know if i'll arrive on time. All roads next to my house are closed due to a cycling event (hessa street and d54). I only have one exit but is full of traffic. 

I'll update as soon as I have a proper eta.

I'm still stucked at the same place. I will not make it. Not a chance.

I'm sorry for this. I will withdraw myself from the list.

Sorry to hear this. I had to pass around Hessa via the 311 ramp and Hessa was blocked there and backed up.

Sane here. Had to avoid Hessa and Umm Sequeim roads. Took Al khail and now Alain road.
