Thanks @Emanuel.. being the first and. second to get stuck is all part of the plan 😂😂😂😂 Thanks again @DP1011 and everyone for the wonderful time and showing up to this drive… means a lot to me. Our adventures and moments together specially from yesterday will always remain central to my heart.

Gentlemen @Fabien Monleau, @Andrei S @Ishak @Imteeaz @Shaun J @Emanuel @Gurcharan Mehta @Benjamin @Zed @Rob S -thank you for joining and making this drive memorable, a very well executed and justice done to the theme, and perfect tribute to our dear friend @Islam Soliman ! All the best Islam, looking forward to driving with you in Egypt!

Thanks very much @Frederic ,@DP1011 and @Srikumarfor the scenic drive yesterday. It was a ton of fun and a nice change from the usual drives

Thanks @ChrisW. One M please. It was good to have finally met you and a couple of others too. You all drove really well today and I was spared having to shovel this weekend. 😄 Last weekend in this same area we dug up about half a dune to get several stucks out in the same area. Enjoy your week and see you in the sand soon.

Thank you @DP1011 for a wonderfully challenging track. Good to see some familiar faces and those that came up from hibernation. The banter on the radio was enjoyable to listen to and participate in. It was hilarious that our friend and star of the drive was the one who got stuck not only once but twice. @Islam Soliman we wish you and your family all the best in happiness and health, and a smooth relocation. We'll be keeping an eye out for Egypt drive announcements.

Update: I have my new steel (black) steering box installed for free (good that I got the extended warranty after I bought the car). NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE! no more excessive steering wheel play, full in control. 🤣

@Mike M.thank you for the lovely video had an absolutely great time driving today🙂

Thank you, @Davie Chase - well lead and a really pleasant route around the area, with a great mix of cruising and enjoying the view, and challenges to push driver and car. A rewarding morning out. @Emmanuel it was great to watch from the back you coach and help people through different challenges. Kept us moving very effectively! I met a few new faces too - hope to see you guys again soon!

@Abhilash Kottakkal I can't exactly say that. But what I can say is that this will be a big jump from FB level, so if you are still working on your skills it might be a good idea to practice them a bit more before joining this drive. The choice is yours.

@Srikumar is this a big no no for first fewbie plus drive...

Well done @Andrew John Melvill
