Thank you Doc @M.Seidam for the refreshing start to the weekend...enjoyed the drive yesterday to the fullest. Was my first FB+ drive with the Fortuner, and i believe it went just fine... Thanks for the dates and laban , although the combo sounds a bit unusual, it was good ...and was nice to listen to the story of how Qudra desert is dear to you and Abdallah...God Bless!! Good to drive with all fellow members @Rajiv Sam - great SL, @AlexM, @Amr Aydin @Joji varghese @Gregory @Senthil Kumar @Morshedi and @Alexander Alcala See you all on the next one!

Sure @Ale Vallecchi..Thanks for adding!

Saturday wont work for me @Ale Vallecchi.. car is booked for some work.. will remove myself from WL

@Vanessa8580 - thank you for making my Sweihan debut amazing , and 10 times worth the 170 Km drive from home !!! Had enough of the tall dunes and apologies for the untimely question - "Are we done with the tall dunes" early on the drive Our drive was mostly smooth flowing , couple of tugs, self recoveries and pop outs thrown in as garnishing !! ... Couple of pop outs with @Andrew McCarthy and @Pierre de Maigret.. While Andrew's pop out was a result of being a bit overambitious to climb into and out of a narrow ditch , Pierre's one was due to hitting a dry bush/ sand mound at the wrong angle...both were solved in no time with the able involvement of @Zed, @Waqas Parvez and @Vanessa8580 @ASAD. and @AlexM - trouble free drive, i believe ...see you all when our paths cross again on the next drive!!

great come back @Anish S..smooth , fluid and fast drive, with lot of climbs, ridge rides , criss crosses...we ticked all the boxes for an IM drive definitely....Convoy response was amazing ...see you all . @Senthil Kumar @Tom B @Ashok chaturvedi and @Waqas Parvez - thanks for the shovelling support!!

Its about time @Anish S...welcome back 👍

Congrats @Rizwanm2....looking forward to joining your drives !!

Thanks @Brette for the great drive...i was still on testing mode with my changed car ...had enough opportunities to get used to the car and its gearing Also, really appreciate the efforts put to give special attention to our absolute newbies @premindra rajaram, @Benjamin and @Lewis2009 ...warm welcome to the club, and i believe you got a great intro to this hobby, and please dont feel pressured if you were not able to do some side slopes and straight climbs or if you struggled to get through .. Its a new skill and you need to give it time..and @Carnity is a very patient club 👍.... Good to drive with mostly new faces @Mohammed Sirajuddin, @Sunny84, @Emanuel@Juzer Gandhi @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Pacific - good to see you again, hope all fine and your urgent call from work is sorted out @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler - nice to meet you, and see you on the next drive! Some photos in the gallery...

@Kailas - excellent drive, smooth lines, enough adrenaline and great overall itinerary with intermittent breaks, time to relax and have some small talk ...I should say it was a test for me and the Fortuner, mainly in terms of long climbs, pace and navigating cross tracks at many places with a stock suspension, but my car did not let me down , and honestly i was amazed at its climbing ability on first gear and the way it holds the gear at high revs... I am not a contender to this toyota vs Jeep fight at all bro. you should pick someone of your size, probably @Rajiv Sam or @Waqas Parvez ...i am a good 50 hp less than you guys ..😂 ..anyway so far , am happy with my choice 🤘 Good to drive with you @Felix Obst, and veteran @Ashok chaturvedisir, i echo what @Vaibhav said...always good to listen to you and your experiences and frank opinions.. Good to meet you @Karthik Raptor, see you on the next drive
