Dear Desert Wanders @Federico Galbieri, @Abdullah N, @Rafey Hashmi, @Mehmet Volga, @Renier Venter, @Shaun J, @Robk, @frederic demolder, @Haneef Thayyil, @Mark B, @Aser, @Ahmed Farouk, @Julien Recan, and @Ali-M First of all let me thank each and everyone of you for showing up on time and helping me enjoy the mornings sunrise with a smile and some good cheer. our drive took us starting off at the beautiful Nahil desert leaving Abu Dhabi and crossing into Dubai and ending up at the Solar park. the terrain was a little tricky in places with soft dry sand on top and hard wet sand underneath. In some areas it was also hard on top turning almost to stone. We only had two refusals and zero stucks the whole drive which is testament to how well you all drove. we did have a couple of pop outs that were dealt with effectively and efficiently by the support team of Mehmet and Mark. Great second lead by @frederic demolder well done was a pleasure to have you behind me. @Mark B brilliant sweep my friend keeping me informed all the way until we started to inflate @Mehmet Volga fantastic support as always, a pleasure to have you in the convoy @Renier Venter hope you get everything sorted mate let me know if I can help with anything at all. Wanted to add that the true meaning of car its came out on the drive, Car plus Community, you guys were patient, knowledgeable and worked so well together as a team it was incredible to be a part of that type of community spirit. Well done to you all 😀😀😀😀 enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope to see you all again very soon in the sand pit

It's been over a year now, google maps can see the R/A, but can't show the right way. Very strange.

For the first timers, Google Maps is little bit crazy about this meeting point. It takes you all the way to the innovation centre and makes you come back. Please keep an eye on the following roundabout, don’t go further 😅 See you all tomorrow in sand 🤗🤗

Important Pre-drive Details below: Be ready at the meeting point by7:00am (or before) with tires deflated (Front 14psi Rear 13psi) and flag erected Please ensure your programable radio is on, fully charged and set to Channel 1 (446,006) For first timers, pls ensure you complete the readings and video in the main drive post before the morning Briefing will be done on the sand before we start moving. Please ensure everything in the car is tied down and there are no moving objects Please check all car fluids, tow hooks, and ensure no hanging parts below the chassis. please ensure you come with a full tank (as much as possible) in addition to all necessary gear for this drive level specially your tire deflator, pressure gauge and a compressor, safety flag and radio.
