I will bring in the XJ only and carry a bunch of spares in the pickup that @Frederic plans to drive.

Dear all - Thanks to @Davie Smooth_Operator agreeing to lead the second convoy, you are all IN for a saturday drive , and we have kept a balance between both convoys. Meeting time and Place remains same ! You dont need to do anything, Davie will add you in his drive, if your name is in Second convoy per the list - This is not convoy order but just to let you know which convoy you are part of !

I would any day choose my trusted Pajero.

Come on! The best car for Expedition is..... drums.... Expedition ! 😀😀😀

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, please do. Thanks in advance

Hello @AHSANAWAN 123. Will post by saturday, with the drive's briefing. It would be past Al Dhaid, close to RAK itself. @Mike M. As you are part of the Support Team I can add you as such. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi @Mike M.! My dreamcar for this adventure would either a Y61 pickup, Toyota 79 Series, or a good old Hilux. If we really want to be under the car every day, then the LR Defender would be the best 😁

Do you have this route planned from before or did you do it impromptu ? Before doing this, how about Oman Salala first if not this year maybe next year as everyone have their plans done already for this year.

What car would you be using for this off-road endurance race @Frederic @Gaurav @Srikumar. Would be nice to see the preferred car from each of you guys This sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime expedition journey @Andrew John Melvill! A convoy of 4-5 cars would be nice to complete this. How to come back is the question? Ship the cars back or drive back ? Wadi crossing without a flood doesnt work ? @AlexM When we were still in Canada my dream adventure was to tour North America in an RV when the kids are older. Having gone into offroading now, i think the RV life is for the senior citizens or the pampered ones. I am in the same boat as you @Myrko, let me know when that bug bites the missus cause i need to catch it and release it next to my wife as well

@DP1011 and all, i have added the drivers to my drive as per the attached list, @DP1011 you can now remove from your event. looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday

Raptor power 💪🏻. ! And a great guy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Much success and pulls 😂😂👌🏼🚙🚙

Another interesting topic @Mike M.! Having done decent amount of driving in India, majorly all in himalayan mountain ranges,solo, with friends, at times family too, I would one day for sure would do a drive that covers India's perimeter:) From my research, or call it ongoing preparation, would be close to 13-14k KMS, ( close to what @Andrew John Melvill would cover for his Dubai-Capetown drive) ( AJM - Lets use channel 2😂) and a decent 2 months drive, not a rush up one:) Once done, should look like close to what the image shows 🤞!

The dream would be something like the Long Way series on Apple+ with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman (https://www.longway.tv/). Yeah, I know that's on bikes, but the idea is the same. We have done a few longer trips on my Harley in USA: US North-East, the full US East Coast, Blue Ridge; and even more in Europe: full Atlantic Coast, Adriatic Coast, Eastern Europe, Middle Europe. However, now that the Missus is not that charmed sitting on the back of a motorbike for the larger part of the day anymore, doing this with the comfort of a car should be a great substitute! Now all I need is to convince her of the same! So instead of heading out for more than a couple of weeks on our bike, something a bit further than just off-grid and a bit longer with a car would be amazing. For now, I'll make do with weekend/day trips over here in the desert and the weeks in the summer on the bike (for a few hours in the morning and afternoon) and hope she'll catch the bug, so we can set sail for an adventure. Oh and win the jack-pot, to finance it all!

3 days Liwa crossing will do.. flood in a wadi is ok too @Frederic ))

Before moving to the Middle East, and knowing absolutely nothing about off-roading, i grew up watching Camel Trophy, Dakar, and later the fantastic Top Gear adventures. Rally was also one of my favorites. So my dream adventure? taking part in off-road endurance race, and ideally having my two partners in crime @Gaurav and @Srikumar joining me, so we will have lots of laughs, breakdowns, and goofing off while we are at it Somewhere in Africa, South America, or perhaps Saudi Arabia!
