Makhoola delivered a proper Fewbie Plus playground Saturday morning — long flowing dunes, rhythm sections, and just enough technical spice to keep everyone sharp.


The convoy held a strong pace throughout, covering nearly 60 km with minimal interruptions — a great sign of growing confidence and clean driving across the group.


A few soft crest challenges from yours truely and side slope moments kept things interesting, but recoveries were quick, controlled, and well managed by the support team. Big thanks to @ChrisW for winching me out and @Sam Selim talking me off a side crest. @Aserand ChrisW dealt with one steep climb refusal quickly and got us moving fast.

We had two technical issues towards the end with a transmission overheating after a lot of work in 4L, and a failed MAF sensor. Hopefully all quick fixes. 


Overall, a smooth, high-energy drive that really showcased progression from the convoy — linking dunes, holding momentum, and driving with intent.

See you next time @Aser @ChrisW @Sam Selim @_Herman_ @Abdullah A. @Diego @lucas amat @Zsolt
