Thank you dear friends for your wishes 🙏🙏🙏 Best guess what I have got 😂 It did long time back , it felt even younger 😄

Drive report ( enjoyable eventful night drive ) Dear Friends I am so glad that no one has missed the little surprise 😄 eventually as @Ashutosh Garg exit came just past midnight ! By 21:30 🕤 I looked around and realised that the 13 cars including my self are ready so I took the lead after ensuring that every one is aware what is it like to drive in the night. Starting to move at 21:48 on the short dirt track passing Abdallah’s dune looping around it to encounter our first stuck as @Ashutosh Garg by a foot slipped in and awkward like position with the rear of his X wedged almost in the V like pocket. with proper shovelling by the team and coordinated instructions from both sides ( by @munkybizness and myself ) he managed to get through amazingly. Proceeding forward to side sloping and crisscrossing with a period of pause on the radio indicating every one was enjoying their time till we reached Richie’s bar where we had our official coffe break under the 3/4 “red moon “ now The next event of the night came when our friend @Ashutosh Garg had a nasty pop-out for his right front wheel while in oblique super soft incline upon descent along with it we realised that the rubber around the stem got torn which made a gap that couldn’t be sealed and we had no choice than to replace the tyre which turned not same size which meant an exit for obvious safety reason. Thanks to all team for engaging in sorting out that issue. It took us a while ! the nearest exit was to run along the track to bab shams entry/exit known point to us and there the time already passed 12 by 15 minutes. the moon now becoming more glowing through the mild misty surroundings with a rainbow hallo around it or how my 27 year old eyes could see it 🤣 . Thank you guys for your sincere wishes. 🙏 it’s too early to finish early and with agreement of every one we vanished once more in the desert in a relatively faster pace than ever enjoying what was remaining. The third event came when @Tareq Al Turq managed to get his prado stuck as he lost momentum after criss cross and the car was hanged belly Free in between the two dunes. The only way is to pull from front after clearing the sand from the front bumper. The best would be to winch it the little uphill and luckily our sweep saviour @Ranjan Das did that like a pro after we cleared the recovery zone. the 4th event had to be mine and no one else as usual “ the swimmer 🏊‍♀️ sunk in the shallow water “ as we say it 😅as we were approaching to exit. With little patience on the gas and fine steering and effective feedback communication from the outside team our ropes kept safe always 😄 The time pointed at 02:20 when we were on the new dirt track leading to our same point from where we started . I thanked every one for the lovely night for their tolerance patience and sincere wishes and forgive me for the time stretch in this report as well as the drive itself 🙏 @Gregory you never missed a step in the drive nor an acknowledgment on the radio you gave the warnings even before my hand could grasp the radio . I hope your wife enjoyed the drive and wasn’t late ending for her. Thank you my friend for being my second lead . @Dinesh Kumar A despite for being away for a while ( in carnity at least ) you managed your prado very well with good self recovery here and there. Nice meeting you for first time. @Tareq Al Turq you drove very good no doubt and you gave us the spice of winching you tonight . As you see the more easy on the gas with little patience will keep your vehicle easy on you too 😉 @Ashutosh Garg nice to meet you too for first time . You have got a powerful machine for the desert . The more you know about it and it’s spare parts the less trouble you will be in . Wish you best and please don’t forget to replace the damaged tyre. @Joseph Raju second time we meet . I don’t recall any issue maybe reattempt once or so . Hope you enjoyed the night drive and thanks for the hydraulic jack 🙏. @topgear thanks for the company along with the others. Didn’t hear you on the radio which explains enjoying the tranquility of the night drive. @Simon Dawood happy to see you bro . Driving no question. Thanks for the share and help. Do I really look like a 27 year old ? I thought younger 🤣 @Haitham Khattab pleasure meeting for first time . I wasn’t wrong when I kept you with the wrangler pack behind . I am sure you enjoyed it a lot . Flawless and thanks for your stepping forward whenever the situation arise for help🙏 @Amr Aydin I hope the distance you crossed from far was worth the night drive . Thanks a lot for actively helping in the pop out and unscrewing the bolts . You gave me the lever to lift up the convoy my dear 😅 @munkybizness your presence especially behind the first part of the convoy was crucial . You are the true playmaker in any drive and you have always been so . Thank you 🙏 @Zixuan Huang - Charlie I hope this drive could let you catch up from the last time in pink rock and for this one I am pretty sure you have got what you wished for 😉 thanks buddy for everything @Ranjan Das it has been for a while really since we drove together what a pleasure and peace of mind to know that you are at the rear of the convoy not letting any one to slip away in the dark .🙏 Till we meet next time in another night drive take care drive safe and be good cheers Seidam

Dear Friends Gregory @Gregory Haitham Khattab @Haitham Khattab Ashutosh Garg @Ashutosh Garg Dinesh Kumar A @Dinesh Kumar A Simon Dawood @Simon Dawood Amr Aydin @Amr Aydin munkybizness @munkybizness Joseph Raju @Joseph Raju topgear @topgear Ranjan Das @Ranjan Das Tareq Al Turq @Tareq Al Turq Zixuan Huang - Charlie @Zixuan Huang - Charlie couple hours separate us from our night drive thanks for your interest 🙏 We will try to loop around Qudra in two phases being the return via slip faces destined to end at last exit. A little surprise is awaiting past 12 midnight. Not gonna say it now and the only way to know is not to miss this drive 🤣 I updated the meeting point above and it’s here again : https://goo.gl/maps/Ap4oggN4uUGLDxAy5 Please be on time at 21:30 or bit earlier so we can drive drive and drive we will communicate at radio channel 1 ( 44600625 ) reminder to night drives : Offroad lights not mandatory ( far beam stock lights and fog lights are sufficient) but if you have them you can contribute to lighten our path 😄 Our reaction time is governed by visibility which is substantially reduced in the night so is our reaction time as well . Keep enough distance between cars in order not to miss the track but not closer to give your self adaquate time to react in case of any situation . Vigilance and alerted senses to surroundings . Clear communication is prime especially in night drives if you step out of your car please watch where you step ( take a torch 🔦) try to avoid bushes or rocks 🪨 where the night creepers are around please wear closed foot wearing and pants which keep legs not exposed ( I know it’s hot but stings God forbidden is more burning ) please always remind me if I have missed anything. Wish you enjoyable safe drive under the 3/4 moon light see you soon all inshallah ohh I almost forgot .. here we go 👇

@Vaibhav I wish your daughter speedy recovery . Best health . Sure my friend 🙏

Dear @Vaibhavand @Tareq Al Turq please by tomorrow morning around 10 am please confirm joining the drive . as you are the last two so far in the wait list 2, i will stretch the convoy for maximum two cars, then i will close the drive. glad to have you all tomorrow under the moon

Oh please no I wish I haven’t said it it . ..you don’t wana know which kind of drive was next morning . It was one packed action drive of IM in area 53 with fastest lead Carnity ever knew 🤣… the MOI and kids was ain’t in UAE they were in holidays at Jordan 🇯🇴 😅

Absolutely

This technical drive what @GauravSoni is about to engage you in guys is extremely demanding and entails full concentration. You need all the time to rest at ease the night before . That’s my advice .

Actually it finishes at 01:30 😅 last summer I have done it but the finish point of the night drive was just opposite the start point of the morning next day . Managed to sleep for about 2 hours in the car . Honestly i was extremely tired after ending the drive. But no regrets 😄

@Zixuan Huang - Charlie welcome back buddy . I moved to to the manage tab . @Amr Aydin @munkybizness and @Joseph Raju please note the system moved you automatically to the RSVP confirmed drive. Welcome aboard for the 3/4 moon night drive . 😉 For the remaining wait list ( all second drive labeled ) I wish to accommodate you all but we will be overwhelmed. Next time inshallah .
