Indeed it was a lovely drive despite the unfortunate event with @Bjoern and apparently with @Andrei S which I learned about it just when you commented above . In the desert nothing is certain and the wild will always keep for us something in its store even I realised at the end of the drive that I was driving on springs and my shocks were gone ! nevertheless the chilly goosebumps in the morning was gone with the first crest of @khlief As we got the chance to exercise shoveling it. After that he was more courageous as a first Fb plusser 😄 When I came back to check the V8 beast wrangler from its position I knew the 4wD was not engaged thanks to @Mark B when noted the trick . Also thanks to him pulling me from the mixed construction sand before the track . Heading in line toward NAGRA now the flow was fast and fluid till just less than km to NAGRA I decided to exit as it was not a good idea to continue with a bent control arm and gone shocks . Safely back to the starting point. I would like to thank every one of you for sharing the passion and the support team for all the help and giudance . Till the next episode of the SDS ( Sweihan Desert Series ) take care and wish good time . Seidam

What a wonderful afternoon it was . Truly pink rock was seen like never before as the season is hitting hard now. It was a great pleasure to meet new fine faces after quite a while . And for this drive I could say that every one of you guys did more than great which made me to pump the drive more in the second half toward big red. In the second lead @Jose Luis Campos Took place vigilant and with brilliant communication. I am glad that your son enjoyed the ride and falcon 😄. In the third position was @Stuart G whom I was impressed by his driving skills . It looks like two masterclasses paid it off. @Alex M driving his beautiful orange Raptor Ranger cantered the convoy followed by @nickJp in the 5th position who did no less than @Andreas Riis with his fantastic yellow wrangler in the 6th position. Last but not last came the TRX to look after all of us driven brilliantly by @Nathan Thank you a lot for sharing the passion and hope to see you soon 🔜 in the sand below a relive clip for memory
