Another amazing drive in Mahafiz, which was missed, since didn't visit for long. Glad to have a special team, kept moving, enjoying, and well controlled the whole drive. Unfortunately not able to side climb few dunes, but I think what we did was enough to enjoy the area. @Amr Aydin amazing SL, following all requests for rerouting and other comments. Thank you @Mohamad Anwer @Waqas Parvez for supporting us and guiding our friends. @Tareq Al Turq well done controlling your prado.@DP1011 , Deepak wrangleras usual kept moving enjoying the drive. Unfortunately had to leave the last 30 minutes @ImteeazHappy to meet you again in new area, hoping you liked it @Naim Aounglad to have you in the drives, and happy to see you enjoying it @Prakash Anoop @Santoso Marjuki @Joseph Rajuamazing performance well done guys. Wish you happy week ahead, and look forward to see you again in sand.

@Gregory thanks Gregory for the tips after the drive. the car was shaking on Saturday afternoon/evening while i was with the family. so finally took the car to a garage on Sunday and a 'lot' of sand was removed; no damage to the PMS thanks god. @Hisham Masaad amazing drive for my first time in Mahafiz - the pop-out was sorted out by experts like @Waqas Parvez @Mohamad Anwer @Santoso Marjuki - thanks team. @Waqas Parvez your tips were well-received mate - will try to implement this coming week. Enjoy your week.

Another good drive with @Hisham Masaad and the team on Saturday. From Hisham's more leisurely drive the previous weekend, this was a characteristic Hisham drive, and we heard the expected "Yalla push!" a number of times throughout the drive 🤣. Some beautiful terrain and dunes 👍 👍 Thanks to @Amr Aydin, @Mohamad Anwer and @Waqas Parvez for the support and keeping all moving and in check.... No stucks, few refusals, and a F1 style popout fix added to the good pace of the drive. @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler hope your son recovered fully after the drive. He did well! @Imteeaz hope you managed to sort your tyre out, after the drive. Have a good week everyone.

Congratulations @Stan Hassetton the promotion

Thank you for a great drive and detailed report @M.Seidam. Your energy and willingness to swap the convoy around taking into account everyone's prior experience was really helpful. It showed as we only had one crest requiring shovels and the rest of the morning was very smooth with everyone following the tracks closely. It made the sweeping role in the second half very straightforward! I had a break from the drives but happy to restart again in the FJC and today was my first drive in the car. It handles very differently compared to the Land Cruiser but at least I feel more secure in tackling the dunes without having difficult discussions with the wife about what bits of trim I left in the desert! So it was great to see familiar faces after the break @Alfred Alinazar @Zixuan Huang - Charlie @topgear and of course to meet the rest of the drivers today. There is always new things to learn on each drive and looking forward to many more. Pics are uploaded in the gallery 😀

No need for apology dear @Jonny90 this happens with the most experienced too sometimes. You drove very well and by time you will get the hang of it as you progress in the ladder . The last part was not easy telling the truth and just wanted to give you guys a taste of it safely off course .

@M.Seidam As usual enjoyed the drive under your leadership regardless of the level. I always like to revisit Pink Rock as my first drive with Carnity was at Pink Rock. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie Thanks for supporting the drive as CF. I hope you managed to resolve the car issue. @Jonny90 I had fun following your Y61 and you drove like a seasoned Fewbie. @Alfred Alinazarnice meeting you. @Sam K I am very impressed with your neat diy job and your FJ rocks @TT_Dubai good to see you again and glad that you joined the FJ clan. Thanks for keeping the convoy in order @Rajiv Sam thanks for sweeping and then CF. Hope to see you soon @Amr Aydin nice to put a face to a name. Thanks for the intro @JERINE_B @Pieter Potgieter @Senthil Kumar didn’t get to chat with you guys but for sure you guys drove without any issues. Have a great week ahead everyone. I have shared some photos in the gallery.

Drive report Dear Friends Sam K @Sam K Jonny90 @Jonny90 JERINE_B @JERINE_B TT_Dubai @TT_Dubai Alfred Alinazar @Alfred Alinazar Senthil Kumar @Senthil Kumar topgear @topgear Pieter Potgieter @Pieter Potgieter Amr Aydin @Amr Aydin Rajiv Sam @Rajiv Sam Charlie @Zixuan Huang - Charlie What a wonderful day it was and the drive was no less which speaks for how great you all were today. I really appreciate of being on time and more of adhering to the tips we all agreed about which made our day so enjoyable safely. Starting slowly from Tawi Nizwa aiming toward pink rock and that was the warming up part through side sloping and gentle criss crossing preparing for what comes next . lining up at the base of pink rock where every one climbed it up with flying colors Behind the rock now while enjoying our coffe break @Zixuan Huang - Charlie did smell a burning fluid / oil like odor. car off and the battery pole disconnected to check it out. There was no apparent gross leaking other than little from the power steering cap. Sealed it with Teflon tape and we agreed to exit our friend safely at sec Dec cafeteria. Making little change in the convoy where our late edition of @Rajiv Sam taking now Charlie’s Center forward position where Tim @TT_Dubai took the sweep. from sec Dec Cafe our real quest started toward big red passing pink rock to our left side combating the remaining time. The convoy response as if was telling please “ feed us more “😅 And it was . along the way maybe couple refusals came about with successful reattempts. reaching big red ahead of my expected time plan ( bonus to the whole convoy ) and we had ample time to play around its eastern as well as southern parts and that was the climax of the day. probably the only crest of the day was just before the exit and bit of proper shoveling and A track @Rajiv Sam managed to slid it like an ice cream 🤣 It was a challenging drive at least the end part of it and every one did more than great keeping the spirit always up @Sam K it was pleasure meeting you for the first time and as a second lead you did the job to perfection . Well done 👍 @Jonny90 first time we meet too , pleasure. As your first Fb Drive you drove very well and managed your SWB y61 like a walk in the park . Well done @topgear always pleasure having you in any drive . No issue at all today 👍 @Alfred Alinazar it seems now you understand the Pagero very well . Great driving and reattempts 👍 Our wrangler boys today @JERINE_B And @Pieter Potgieter pleasure meeting you guys for the first time too.excellent driving and communication . @Senthil Kumar and @Amr Aydin guys you rocked today . @Rajiv Sam and @TT_Dubai the black FJCs thanks for all the help and excellent communication as well as the nice driving as CF and Sweep . last but not least thanks @Zixuan Huang - Charlie for supporting the first part of the drive . I hope nothing serious and you sort the issue if any soon . till we meet next time take care and drive safe . Seidam

Just a casual thought : How many of you do have stress/anxiety at 18:59hrs every monday 😂! I have my 2 alarms set: 18:57 & 18:59! How many of you leave everything aside on monday evening 18:59😂, I am certainly one of those! just curious to hear what goes in ur mind and how do u handle 18:59/19:00 Mondays😅! @Amr Aydin I know today you stopped aside while driving, @RiaanJH I know you were in flight wondering if you will get confirmed drive slot after you land😂 @Anoop Nair Saw your 60 seconds comment today😅 Others??

Nice one mate! Well deserved @Gregory!

Pajero ambassador, very well deserved and from the heart….CONGRATULATIONS @Gregory👏🏼👏🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

Congratulations @Stan Hassett

@Shahid Mehmood - You can do it at your end too, by clicking leave and it removes you from manage

Congrats @Jose Thomas ! Well done and enjoy your level up 😎

Many thanks @JeromeFJ for a very technical and very enjoyable (if slightly early) Saturday morning. I very much enjoyed the second lead position, so pleased not to have screwed it up too badly. Big thanks to @Beide Worku not only for the excellent sweeping but also the duct tape proficiency which kept my flag in place for the whole drive. A lot of fun, and with great spirit in the group. A few pics to be posted.

Thank you all for the amazing drive today! Thanks to @varunmehndiratta for the great lead and his amazing team @Srikumar, @Ashok chaturvedi and @Zed for the superb support! It's a real pleasure to drive with such a great convoy where everyone looks out for each other and helps out ☺️😊 I'll work on my speed 😂 but for now until I learn to control the beast it's the Ram style of flattening the dunes and criss crossing 😂 and cannot forget @takeshi sobue Takeshi style of going up the dune: - wait for the instructions... - Takeshi is long gone 😂 It was some good fun in such an amazing location today! It really takes dedication and passion to get up so early, but it was worth it 🤩🤩🤩 Thanks a lot for today!

Thank you @M.Seidam for the great drive and the amazing brief/demonstration 🚗🚙before hitting the dunes (below is a reference 😅) Also thank you @Sam K for the SL, @TT_Dubai for the sweep and @Rajiv Sam for the sweep and taking over the CF, good to see you again my friend. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie Thank you for your support for the first half of the drive, I hope you are sorted with the car and we will be able to drive on the sand together soon. Always happy to see old friends and meet new ones, thank you @all and hope to see you soon on the sand.

Thank you @M.Seidam for a wonderful drive. so exciting, I joined late yesterday evening. It would have been a loss missing this drive. Everybody was at the meeting place on time and we had moved out also at right time, In this climate condition, this is extremely important. @Zixuan Huang - Charlie hope you have a normal overflow on steering oil in your car, nothing major. @Sam K Stunning second lead. All convoy was amazing, all drove well, nice meeting you all.
