It was fabulous time we had today. We had chance to enjoy our fresh lead Luca`s leading. I supposed to hand him the lead around half hour to 1 hour but we ended up enjoying his lead over 2.5 hours. That happened because of his way to find nice, clear dunes in such crowded area. He took our fewbies and made them fewbie+ today. We climbed many high dunes, we made criss crossing, we made side slopes all fewbies are made me shocked, how they handled every thing that Luca throwed on them. Basically we started near to Big red. I took the team from entry point to big red. We had some joy behind the Big Red than we came to front and climbed up. From Big Red i handed the lead to @Luca Palanca Falsini. From there he took us some nice dunes and we reached to the Pink Rock. At Pink Rock also we had chance to climb up. Man such a climbing day, the way that i love off roading. From Pink Rock we reached to the 2nd December. Since it was early enough We decided to move on to our beloved Faya. Again with such clean and virgin dunes Luca took us near to the Faya. Than i took over the convoy and make it to the Faya. Since climbing face was crowded. We decide to go to the back side and spent some time there and come back again. In this time we were lucky to see @Rahimdad`s beautiful Pathfinder up there at the top. Luca and i said he should be doing at least fewbie level. Once we talked to him we surprised that he managed to take newbies up there. Great job Rahim bhai and great job his convoy. After spending some time behind the Faya we approached to the front face and tried our cars power. Did i mentioned it was a climbing day After the Faya we exited safely. It was such a flawless day if i am not mistaken we never needed our ropes. We had few refusals but it wasn`t anything that some instruction and some shoveling can`t sort it. Big thanks to @Luca Palanca Falsini another big thanks to @Mehmet Volga and thanks a lot @Thomas Varghese to keep us informed about the back side of the convoy. And the biggest thanks to all our drivers. Many times i said they might struggle here you all did amazing. If any of you wondered today we covered 42.7km.

Same engine should be in the new Xterra

Hi Yusuf sorry to hear that. @Bernd Stucke now you are added to the drive, please confirm your attendance. Rest of the Fewbie drivers we still have empty spots on Sweihan drive. You can join to that drive. It is an amazing area.

@Yusuf Esaf Please confirm if you are joining. I added you to the drive. Last time you didn`t showed up at Margham and this time also if you not showed up, you will get one month ban from drives. See you another time Anvar

Actually this is the best advice. It is definitely not advisable to bring your brand new expensive SUV to the desert where it will get damage sooner or later. Always having the comfy car for the family and getting your own off road toy is the best choice.

If you are going to use this vehicle mainly for off roading don't look any further than Patrol Super Safari. I guess i would go for Super Safari even for the daily drive. Get a nice plate number with it and put nice tint to the windows and enjoy being the King on the road. But this is me being me, Gaurav is right for the comfort level.

Very late drive report. We had a pleasant time. Area was not a preferred area for me. I am known as Fossil Rock guy but i found the area very nice. We found a lot of long range dunes to make sideys. I splashed so much sand that all my interior was covered with sand. At the beginning unfortunately Jon hit his bumper and we observed water leaking. Luckily it was just a washer fluid tank not the radiator. After a check on the car all looked good and we continue our journey. Than on a sidey i hit to a small bump and i had pop out. Big help from Anand and Shaaz we were able to fix in minutes. After sometime we found our self in to some technical dunes and we decide not to waste time and drove back out from that. This time Anand had a pop out that was an easy fix as well. Paul and Jack got crested on one technical dune but it is very well sorted by the team. We continue driving and found some sweet dunes to do even more sidey. In this time Nihal got crested on one dune but that was also easy recovery. Overall it was a smooth good pace drive. Thank you all for your attendance and you all are awesome. Special thanks to @Mehmet Volga @Anand Nataraj and @Shaaz Sha for their effort on every possible time. See you all next time.

Hi Ranjan it is 7am

See you tomorrow Shaaz

Hi Christian less number is something but real reason was i had to take over another drive at same time. For a drive normally bare min is 3 person.

Going above 2012 is wise choice.

Dear All; This drive is cancelled due to not efficient attendees.

Hi @Christian Andras i have to put you in waitlist for now as well since you already having drive with Emmanuel. I am sure both @Christian Andras and @Goutam you guys will have space to enter but i have to follow the procedure.
