Was great to see everyone out today, thank you all for coming.
Felt like a real team today, not always you get that when I just feel like everyone working together. 
great support from the team! @Andrei S perfect second lead, quick reactions and intuitive, could hear you on the radio calling out obstacles etc for the team, even the ones I missed calling out 👏🏻 
@Giacomo always Glad to have you in the convoy! Not lots of work for you on this one but maybe next time we’re get more stucks 😛😛 but could hear the Supprt for the team over the radio we’re get you digging next time 😂😂 @Hani crest king appreciate the last minute sweep, again could hear you keeping everything safe and controlled at the back.  
 
Was a pretty high paced drive with some challenging parts so as I said on the radio for the FB+ guys in the convoy especially absolutely brilliant driving! @_Piotr_ your first FB+ and didn’t put a foot wrong 💪🏻💪🏻

Over all really enjoyed the morning and hope to see you all again soon 

Thank you @Mark B great drive! Good pace and beautiful lines!

Krinesh’s refusal definitely looks about a 1000 times worse than it was in this picture 😂😂

Amazing Pictures.

For me, it’s very easy to say that this was one of the best rides I’ve ever had in the desert. The terrain was amazing, the speed we drove was incredible, and the route offered every challenge. It truly required putting all my driving skills into practice. Most importantly, I learned and gained so much more. I gained a better understanding of power management, the importance of momentum over RPM ( @Giacomo your advise was super helpful especially when dealing with coolant temperature issues). I I got pulled once and managed some several self-recoveries after a few refusals 😄. The team was incredibly solid, and @Mark B, you where outstanding in leading the group.

Thanks Thomas really glad you enjoyed it and even better enhanced the driving skills! That’s a win win! Hopefully that overheating issues is an easy one! 
Always great to have you on the drives mate have been with me from the store and we’re all still learning 😊😊

Hi @Mark B, I did talk to my Jeep Dude and analysing the issue he concluded that I'm not part of the problme. I'm the Problem 😁😂😁 Good speed, abt 4500Rpm 2nd gear and I will sail thru the dunes. I did clean my Air filter (bucket of Sand) and give a good top up to the coolant. 100% a win win drive and thats the great thing in our club. I will defiantly not buy myself a VOLVO and give up 😂

[Mark B]

haha well it is very hot and it’s definitely learning to use the dunes gravity to catapult you apposed to just your foot 🤣 but definitely don’t buy a Volvo mate! 😂😂😂

[Giacomo]

Yes was a good paced drive and pretty much no stucks (and shoveling 🤣), very smooth! Thanks @Mark B for the great lines and everyone for driving so well.

Glad to be of help and that you enjoyed the drive @Thomas54675👍
