See you all soon in the sands again !

Thank you for all of you that managed to join us for this amazing drive, under the lead of the one & only Ale. @Ale Vallecchi you have got that something that makes your drives special; i enjoyed every minute of this adventure, which ended up a bit later than planned. I also enjoyed the radio-silence when we were navigating the difficult patches in the desert; we all agreed that summer is still out there, and it only makes the sand even more soft and difficult to drive. @Mohamad Anwer thank you for your 2nd lead - with your SWB, you showed us the way so as not to get stuck. and it is great to re-connect after couple of months. @Fabien Monleau you took control of the Center and was always the first one out of your vehicle to help others; i hope that you managed to get a warranty for your damaged tyre. @Naim Aoun @Charbel @Bjoern you were up to the challenge - couple of refusals that always make us enjoy the sand a bit more every weekend. @Pacific thank you for sweeping us; i preferred to stay in front of you as i was still testing my new air-filter and did not want to take any chances. and finally our dear Marshal @Islam Soliman i hope that you have managed to get your car checked and fixed; fortunately your car started acting up 15 minutes before the exit (when we all quite exhausted from the heat). Enjoy your week chaps until next time @Rk ram special mention to you too mate - aside 1-2 stucks, you were amazing during the drive

It was a fantastic drive & indeed a masterpiece of a drive by @Davie Chase. Loved every second of it. A impeccable second lead by @DP1011 and thanks for the coffee during the break. I had the break point mapped on my Gaia but did not know what it was for, it was a wonderful place to visit. @Ranjan Das and @Dodi Syahdar helpful support from you guys, and much appreciated as well, tugging out the stuck cars. @Mohit Gurnani & @Rk ram were only FB+ in the convoy so it felt less like a FB+ drive and more like a IM drive - you guys did great. @Patrick van der Loo your tiny TJ can go anywhere and seems to do it with so much ease. @Gertjan thanks for doing so much for making these drives more memorable with your photography. I off-loaded my responsibilities to my friend who was visiting us and just enjoyed the driving.

An eerie silence now surrounds the entire place, which is locally called ‘Buried Village’. It used to be a tiny hamlet once upon a time. According to the locals nearby, it was once inhabited by the people of Al Kutbi tribe (they are among the three prominent tribes living in the vicinity of Al Madam). Swallowed by sand or spooked by ‘Djinn’? What actually happened here? Why the town that once flourished is now all covered in sand? No one is pretty sure about what went there. What better way to enjoy this Halloween weekend, than driving across a rather unforgiving and challenging stretch of desert, to end the drive at this legendary haunted village?

Thank you @Ale Vallecchifor the drive, full of technical and soft sand in many areas, I enjoyed the challange and I am sure so did my colleagues. Great support team, with many old faces I had not seen for a while, greatvtobsee you all Gents! Regards, Mohamad

@Issam Atra, @Ishak, @Emanuel, there is one spot vacant still for DCT group with Asif. If anyone wants to join in contact him directly @ Asif Hussain or let me know and ill contact him. @Cole bertasso is already there.

The morning started with a wonderful coffee at the fuel station before reaching the starting point, and it turned out that the only tank filled was my own and forgot to fill up the vehicle. I couldnt be embarrased enough when I announced just before entering that the tank was empty. Thanks my sand brothers for waiting out the embarassement for me. The drive route was taken through its paces, and I could feel @Davie Chase had decided to give us all some lessons which maybe was left back from last Sunday's drive in the same place where we were unable to move in rhythm due to frequent stucks. @Emanuel your second lead was great bro. @Cole bertasso Hope to see you regularly. @Issam Atra@Ishak its always nice to meet you both. You are both doing great with each of your drives, We three have been gaining experience up literally together and feels 'homie' to see each other. Hope to keep levelling up safely and make our mentors proud. I had a front cam installed, the videos are there, but somehow couldnt transfer it out. Once done will share them, hopefully should make a good view. @Gautam Banka, @Sreenath G You did miss a good learning drive guys.

Rugby team NZ All Blacks does a Haka (War Cry) before a match, and so here's Team Phoenix First Haka 😁

Always a pleasure to drive with you @Davie Chase and thanks for the compliments. Good driving with you again @Issam Atra and all the best in the DCT @Cole bertasso.

Thanks @Looperit certainly was a fun drive. Don’t think I’ve ever done a drive with Carnity where everyone drains their tanks 😁

It was a fantastic drive. I am so inspired by it that I plan to have an IM drive next week. In the drive plan I had mentioned that we will be taking photos. We did not get any time from driving to take photos did we? I managed a sum total of 1 image from the entire drive. Thank to @Stumpy Paj, @Bravoecho & @Mahmoud Taha for participating in today's drive. We missed you @Bashar Beasha in today's drive. We were virtually a SWB convoy and your presence would have made a lot of difference in the convoy.
