Hello @SrikumarSorry dropped out after signing up - my car is due for 1st service at 5K kms...knowing you and how we enjoy your Lead, a bit cautious step I have taken...  

Hey @Looperand guys, sorry I missed to join this morning. Had taken cold relief tablet at  nite and that put me to dead sleep, missing alarms etc. Heard you had a good drive. Well done.

Sweihan Drives V 

Dear friends 

@Imteeaz @Arda Yagcioglu @Lawrence_Chehimi @Gok Krish

What a lovely brisk drive in a beautiful morning that was. Thank you all  for coming and enjoying the last episode of Sweihan drives at the intermediate level. You all rocked today. Amazing . It was a pleasure meeting @Arda Yagcioglu for the first time and very good to catch @Lawrence_Chehimi after a long time ( not counting  the rescue drive we had couple weeks ago 😅) . @Imteeaz as usual flawless second lead and thanks for pulling me so smooth when I got wedged ( was it the driver or the 100 meter long rope or both 🤣 ) . @Gok Krish nice to see you after a while and today no one was left behind 😄 thanks a lot . 
 

Below some clips to the best what I could to capture  hope you enjoy 

 

Amazing captures Doc.! I do not think I remember listening to you as I was on total hyper mode but I was executing what you were telling unconsciously. I like the place where you philosophically say - "Now you have choice, go either right or left"!! Haha, I did not choose 'right' and enjoyed it all the way. Thank you for your support and direction....

@Imteeaz good to see you....great drive otgether

 @Arda Yagcioglu likewise, same as above, look forward to more drives with you

 @Lawrence_Chehimi the track man for me, thanks for laying them...see u soon too

@M.Seidam It was a pleasure to do this drive with you....there was speed and flow for 20 minutes, then relax and enjoy the scenery, then another 30 minutes flow .... awesome Doc. thanks. See u in Sweihan!

Good evening Doktor...may be you are kind enough to consider a 7 am meeting time  given some top matches happening till 1 am plus. If not 630 is fine, no worries. Temperature this morning in FAQa at 1030 was 26 deg C still. 

Hello body, anyone up for camping in Sweihan tonight? I am planning

@Karthikeyan GovindarajanAnna, when refuelling, do you mind fetching a medium sized Starbucks Americano black. I am equipped to offer cold water, freshly squeezed juices all through the trip. Thanks. If you are doing it reply so. Otherwise, I will bother someone else. I am 100 m away from our meeting point now   wish some of you had made it here.
