When not keeping enough distance , but actually it was inevitable I had to stuck my self on purpose 

What do you think dear off-roaders ?

What happened here ?

look first and the second 

 

@RaYan E's wheels were pointing full left when @Srikumar was making the first two tugs. That's why from your view, it wasn't moving. He later corrected it when someone pointed it out over the radio. 

@Mohamed Seidam I uploaded these in the recoveries thread as well as you suggested. Thanks.

Recoveries from SolarPark Newbie Drive 18/09/2020 lead by @Srikumar and supported by @Janarthan

Here is @RaYan E's recovery video. Only the part visible from where I was..

Here is the full recovery video of Xavier.. It has a lot to learn. Listen carefully for the instructions given by Srikumar..
 

Thanks @Srikumar for the wonderful drive.

I have 2 more videos from today’s drive.. Will add it to the post in a while.

Thanks everyone and see you soon!

@Srikumar please add me to the waiting list. Thanks 🙏 

@RahimdadPlease add me to the waiting list. Thanks 🙏 

All these sounds like I missed a drive which I shouldn’t have.. Kudos to all those who got such fast fingers. Around 7pm is when usually we (tech guys) get super productive at work (Yes after fixing all the “IT” issues raised by other departments) and 7:01 Carnity drives are full 🤪. Need to find a solution for this problem. 

Thanks for posting the details and pictures .. @Wrangeld @Lorenzo Candelpergher @Lisa Pemberton I’m reading all to try to get a feel of it atleast 😂

See you all soon on sand 🤞

Hi @Sreejith Sreenivasan The Absolute Newbie drive is solely for first-time joiners in the club, and unfortunately not for regular members. 

Got it @Frederic. Thanks

@Frederic Since the drives I was on waiting list were closed, can I join you tomorrow/ Am I allowed to join Absolute Newbie drive? Please let me know. Thanks

@Emmanuel please add me to the waiting list. Thanks 🙏 

@Wrangeld please add me in the waiting list. Thanks 🙏 

It was indeed the best drive I had so far with a perfect mix of speed and complexity.. couldn’t ask for more!!

Congratulations @Jeepie and @Wrangeld for making a mark in Carnity history. Keep going!!

@Shiju Manuel @Pancho kudos to both of you for today’s job well done 👍 

Seeing my 6yr old daughter literally having big smiles everytime we were negotiating those tricky tall dunes was super satisfying! 

Thanks to each and everyone for managing the whole drive really well. You were all amazing today!!

I used to drive a BMW 650i. Such an amazing car but used to visit the garage every few months. And I heard from my service advisor that X5s and X6s are the ones who visit them the most.

Second thing, please do not listen to people saying "O I know that BMW specialist in Shajah and Ajman" and you can maintain in quarter the price. Same place when you visit for a work will give you nice estimate by saying - "Sir it's a BMW".

@Gaurav, you are spot on here. I have had terrible experience with these so called "specialists" in Sharjah who can do wonders for quarter the price. But the price which I had to pay was my Range Rover Vogue HSE. Couldn't even recover my investment on that car.

I honestly believe Mercedes are far better when it comes to reliability and I have an eye on it as my next car.

Great drive guys !  Good support from @Tero Vallas and second lead @Mohamed Seidam.  Apart from few refusals @Ashok chaturvedi  @Ammar Naji @Ilya Golubinsky @Sreejith Sreenivasan handled their self recoveries well.

@Andrei had a bit of issue with clutch on his manual jeep but nothing that cant be sorted. You ll definitely grow and love your manual car on more drives Impressed with how @Islam Hassan@Hatim Patharia and @Newton Rozario handled their vehicles . Was wondering if there would be a time I might have to tug the mighty Ram

Gave me good memories of the thrill during the newbie drives back then and gotto stretch my rope finally !  Thanks for the recovery tips @Gaurav and the great lead ! Added some pics in gallery

See you soon in the sand.

@J J, thanks for the quick tug on the crest. You did very well today 👏

See you soon in the sand ✌️
