Great convoy and drive. Thank you for joining. All were ready on time, except @KAMALIO who overlooked timing and was late for about 30 minutes, and we were close by the time he arrived and get ready. Started moving , warming cars and drivers. Spent most of the time climbing, moving from one dune to the other. We completed about 57km, with 461m ascent. Every one did amazingly well. Few refusals and stucks. @salah2u had to be winched out of a bowl, after many trials. Same scenario with @kiranshinde who managed to get out after few trials and looping. In a bigger one @Reggie Landicho also managed in few rounds to push and get out of the bowl. Dear desert wanderers, mentioned this in briefing and repeating it here, convoy discipline is very important and has to be respected. While holding for any reason, staying in convoy position is very important. It is all about safety of you guys in th first position and others. Most of the accidents happening is due to the fact lead asking for holding, support team start moving to help, considering convoy is holding, and suddenly find car is moving and causing an accident. I already spoke to some of you in person, but again good to mention. Thank you @Danish Mohammad, @Shaaz Sha, @Pacific, and @Mohamad Anwer for supporting us. Nice meeting you for the first time @Belal Aldaour, did not hear your name, means no issues and well done. @kiranshinde @AlexM @Reggie Landicho @KAMALIO @salah2u And @siddharth maheshwariglad to meet you again, and look forward to see again in sand. Nice week ahead

My video That was a super demanding trip, 17 hours driving in total. I was dead even the next day but, next time I will attend this drive for sure! The most challenging part was driving in the morning when it was +14

Hahaha . I cannot thank @Gaurav enough for saving me from this. 😂😂

it was such an eventful drive for me, heavy drop from a ridge end, broken inner fender, broken AUX fan, radiator cap leakage, and 2 stucks, but with the support from the entire convoey I made it to the end, oh ofc an almost fire alarm. Thank you @Shaaz Sha for bringing us there and showed us a whole new level of ridge riding, I still remember that I did my first ridge riding right behind your wrangler in the same area. I think the smooth, one straight line kind of ridge riding wouldnt bring me much excitment now! @Gregory I hope that I didnt make track too difficult for you, by lots of mistakes that I did. I didnt really have the time to check on your at mirror but I guess you were all fine, and thank you for saving my ass too~ @Matt.T @Thomas Varghese thank you for supporting the drive, really flawless, and your presence assured the whole convoy's safety See you all another time on sand!

Thanks @Gaurav and to all the marshals who have helped me along the way so far.

Congratulations @Muhammad Qasim!! Keep enjoying !

I have beening reading some reviews on the 4 cylinder ones for a while, it appears to me that most of the consumers are happy with its performance after 1 year, more reliable than the 2 cylinder camel one. BTW its sold cheaper in UAE than China's online retail website.....

Confirmed! @Shaaz Sha
