A woman is cooking eggs in the kitchen. Suddenly the husband runs in and starts screaming, “Oh my god oh my god! Put some more butter in them!” Wife is startled by husbands reaction and runs to the fridge to get more butter. “Oh my god you’re cooking too many at once! Turn them now! QUICK QUICK TURN THEM!” Wife, concerned about her husbands mental state forgets the butter and starts to turn the eggs. “BUTTER! BUTTER! WE NEED BUTTER! THEY ARE GOING TO STICK TO THE PAN! QUICK!” Wife runs back to the fridge. “CAREFUL ABOUT THE EGGS! YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME WHEN YOURE COOKING!!! TURN THEM QUICK! YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO COOK? ARE YOU CRAZY?” Wife starts crying. She is confused and has no idea what to do. “What is wrong with you? I know how to cook” Husband smiles and replies “I know, I just you you to see how it feels when I’m driving in the car with you” and walks calmly away.

Thanks and yes it has to be done but I am looking at the most economical option and one that keeps my vehicle street legal. I suppose it will only be after I bury my front bumper in the desert 😀.

You are most welcome to join me.

Congrats to the nicest and the most thorough gentleman in our group. You are a great company to be with Atif Bhai and your humbleness is something I always admire.

The moment wrangler saw forturner stopped he steared right and applied break and the mother nature (gravity) won the battle. Wrangler had enough momentum to cross the ridge and this mishap would have easily avoided if he had not applied break and continued driving. Other mistake is he should have followed the exact track of fortuner.

mubarak ho atif bhai...

@Atif bhai congrats... time to modify your ride now..

Surely everyone can reach, but be very careful while turning down and steer down little early and smoothly (not sharp), as side stuck on wet sand is very difficult to recover and prone for mishaps.

can't remember the challenge but sure let's go to nagrah🤣

I am looking forward to it! I will bring Divya along as my co-pilot! @Thomas J, welcome mate! @Gaurav, there will be a lot of sand throwing! Cheers!

Why Chinese are dominating the market!

Hey Guys, new to the group but not new to off-roading. Been going for the last 5 years, mostly with DO and joining my buddy Mert for this spin and check-out this cool looking group. A new season, a 'new' second-hand Jeep Wrangler so a quiet run to test out the car will be great. Looking forward to it!

Congrats @Atif. Well deserved and totally agree with what Sri said. See you in the sand.

Hi everybody. Really like @Ale Vallecchi's pictures. The one with all the flags and the cloud is really nice.You should put it in the Gallery.

Congratulations @Brette! Well done man. Enjoyed being in sweep position with you the first time.

Congrats @Brette. Super happy for you.

Congratulations @Brette!

Wow. This is awesome news. Here’s a big shout out to all the carnity seniors who have been patient in teaching me and guiding me to this achievement. @Gauravbhai, @Rahimdadbhai, @Emmanuel, @Srikumar and @Frederic I will keep practicing and pushing myself in the safest way possible and I hope I can eventually become a senior off-roader like all of you guys someday whereby I can pass the torch on to up and coming newbie drivers. https://giphy.com/gifs/3NtY188QaxDdC

Well deserved @Brette !!! Congrats. Very happy to see you there.

Congrats @Shamil ! Sri said exactly what I have in mind. I would just add that I’m glad to see another Xterrian in intermediate drives 😉

Congrats @Brette. Like Fred said it's not easy to tame your black stallion, but you have managed very well.

Congrats @Shamil. You have the right spirit and you have come back much stronger. You didn't allow the incident to affect your confidence and enthusiasm. Well deserved.

Congrats @Brette ! We started around the same time last year if I remember correctly. Your black beast is a bit more complicated to tame than my little 'ol blue one, but you persevered and that shows in your well deserved upgrade !

Super Congrats @Shamil !! Saw you joining us as a humble fellow who always wanted to learn, and took his steps gently in the sand as it should be. Your consistence in joining the drives during the long hot summer has created confidence and experience, and this is grade is well deserved ! I read you enjoyed the sweep duties with @Gaurav on the last drive. Being a part of the sweep team and guiding other new-joiners will give you a satisfaction that will be the cherry on the cake. See you soon in the sand !

Looks like he was approaching quite fast, and hit the brakes quickly when he saw the road ahead wasn’t clear.

Thank you so much for your kind words @Frederic. Your warm demeanor and your quick wit coupled with your selfless attitude to jump in and help people is note worthy.

Whoa! What a surprise! Thanks so much @Gaurav Bhai and @Rahimdad Bhai. I hope to live up to the Intermediate standard. Thanks for the compliments @Srikumar Bhai. I enjoy your company and dedication to this adventurous activity!

Congrats @Atif !!! Welcome to intermediate level !

I am guilty here too. Found a fantastic looking flower shirt in a shop in Barcelona, and according to my wife its CLEARLY a women's model. Oh well, we are 2019... 😂 I'd love to go @Barry. If you're planning and buying tickets and could use a sidekick, let me know.

Haha 😂 The shadows are like someone tall with his hands up while a crab claw is making its way towards it!

Hi everybody. Just a pics from yesterday's drive. I was just enjoying the desert and the great weather, so did not take many. But hope these can be a good reminder of the beautiful day it was, and the sense of freedom and camaraderie of the drive. Have a great week. Ale
