What a lovely drive this was! At the deflation point @Chema was looking a bit worried as he was joined by Jeeps only this morning, but what a performance you've put on! While my Jeep was having hiccups, your 212 just pushed through and didn't break a sweat! Fantastic lead by @Sam Selim who is completely and entirely ready for leading any convoy. Your gentle approach, comms, and looking out for all of us was exactly what we love in our leads. Looking forward to many mores drives together! @Sebastian Nohse that roar from the back used to be a Raptor, but now it's a 392 that roars even louder! Brilliant sweep duties on this beautiful morning drive where we started off at 26C Celsius. By the time we exited we were closer to 40C but the drive style and convoy made sure we kept a good flow and the cars could keep breathing. See you all soon in the sand again!
