Congratulations @Wilfredo Perez..!! -
great fast paced drive, @Simon D...good to meet up with @Cha - after quite a gap and drive again with @Amir Amiri. Good job by @Alphin Aloor , couple of scary maneuvers at the first half of the drive but later came to terms with his Y61 not yet...since this is the second time i'm damaging one, thinking of a metal guard. 🤞

although had to cut short midway due to Gaurav's car issues, we had a great drive with enough time to play around, flattening maximum ridges and criss crossing our way through...a short convoy enabled us to try different things which would normally be difficult with long convoys...see you soon on another adventure @GauravSoni and @Santoso Marjuki... probably the one being contemplated by GauravSoni 🙃😉

thanks @Marek_was003 for that shot...yes, it really looks like i'm close to lift off 🙃 thanks to @Ale Vallecchi for posting this drive...returning to badayer and the 2 popular bowls, once in a while after driving in sweihan etc will really put things into perspective ...we covered all the interesting sections in the area to end up at shuwaib 👏👍 and the afternoon was not that busy , allowing us to visit most of the dune summits thanks to jeeps in the convoy @Gurcharan Mehta and @Cristian , showing off their low end torque and executing climbs as if they were in a morning walk , forcing @Marek_was003 and @Hugo to always drive with utmost respect elongating the convoy in the process , we ended up breaking the convoy at times causing some confusion to re-group. nevertheless, i believe we got our fair share of adrenaline filled enjoyment in the dunes see you all soon !!

nice short smooth drive @DP1011... the 2 hours duration was the USP of the drive for me ....you succeeded in making the most of those 2 hours , taking us through lot of fewbie level challenges in terms of climbs, drops and ridge rides.... good to meet @Rohit Deginal @JohanE and @JERINE_B for the first time and drive again with @Faraz94 @Andrew John Melvill @Premjit Vappala @Mohammad Sayawoush Azad - thanks for the insta tips, and @Rk ram... Looking at comments above, i believe everyone got a real feel of how your cars behave on top of churned ridges and in the process learned to keep right momentum and not zipping through ,giving correct steering inputs according to the ridge lines, adjusting your car "sway", holding your car steady and square on the broad ridges...etc...keep practising and as you progress, the dunes get taller, ridges get sharper and are very rarely flat - you either go up or come down ...so tune your minds !!! Everyone drove really well leaving myself and @Rajiv Sam very little to deal with , 👌👌👍👍👏 see you all , probably on the next Ramadan series from @DP1011 🙃
