Thanks @Srikumar for the amazing drive today. Haven't been on a drive with you in a long time so was great to have it be one of the best FB+ drives I've done. We started heading to the east into the sunrise enjoying some sidies before stopping for a urgent bio break. No shawermas before FB+ drives in future 😜😜 Once we got back into the rhythm the whole convoy was enjoying some big dunes loops until @GauravSoni discovered he had a stem failure which led to a popouts and eventual spare wheel replacement. While the DCT repair practise was underway we did a few ridge rides and had a refusal that required a few shovels. Good morning exercise for everyone involved before we looped back to pickup GauravSoni. From here we turned south and headed towards nagrah area. Lots of BIIIG DUNES, BIIIIG SIDIES, BIIIG SAND SPRAYS. The whole area is just a fantastic playground. Once the convoy had had it's fill of fun, we headed back west to the exit and arrived back around 10am as planned. We covered around 75km in total and I used nearly 3/4 of a tank hammering up and down those hills! Everyone drove really well, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again on a drive sometime soon. Cheers!

On the contrary, @Ale Vallecchi, it was one of the most scenic drives this season! Blue skies, nice wind, sun at the right angle! Even white cars that don't normally look good in such conditions turned out quite well! @Simon D, promised portfolio shots: Look at the sky! And one from down under: @Cristian, some of that spectacular BMW driving: And the grande finale: one of the most interesting recoveries I had a pleasure to participate in:
