Hello @Yousef Alimadadi with my apologies, I will not be able to make the morning drive this Friday morning. Please can you remove me from the WL. Hope to see everyone soon and have a fab drive! 😃

Great news Anoop! Nice to follow your progression in the sand! 😃

Well done Mr Huang! You are a true petrolhead! See you soon!

The dunes in Little Liwa scare me! Hope to drive soon @Warren Flay! Yep these spaces go like a flash! @Zixuan Huang hope you and @Chris Wing all get spaces😊 I guess that applies in more than one circumstance. 😆 I am learning from the best mate..! @Russ

Wow wow wow that was quick. Can I pls join the waitlist? Thx!

Large but well organised convoy this morning. Thanks Vanessa for organising and leading! The morning drives get earlier and earlier and darker and darker... I managed to lose my valve whilst deflating in the dark and thankfully a spare was offered by @Hisham Masaad and the kind offer of a powerful torch. @Vanessa8580managed to locate my original valve and we were soon on our way. Thank you both! Drive warmed up at a gentle pace as we all enjoyed a particularly cool and breezy morning accompanied by a stunning sunrise. We drove up and down some small dunes as we weaved towards Pink Rock. Bumped into Brett's drive too - I realised when I heard @Russ Raptor before seeing it! Every one drove really well and climbed Pink Rock with no problems. Unfortunately @Talgat Mendibaev suffered a puncture at the top of Pink Rock hitting a sharp rock on his low profile tyre but amazingly a spare spacesaver was put on in 15 min. Hope this experience does not put you off. I have had many issues myself in earlier Newbie drives (clutch exploding coming down Faya, overheating issues, check engine light and limp mode when trying to climb Fossil Rock) but I still wake up early and come back for more (but I leave my temperamental Jeep at home 😅) - hope this is the same for you and you won't be left alone! We had a couple of stucks as the pace picked up after Pink Rock but nothing too serious and most were self recovered. @Luc Khaldoun experienced a trickier recovery but made it out from the soft sand pocket with Vanessa at the wheel! Really liked your discrete mods on your Y62 and hope to have the chance of a closer look in future! Always nice to see and catch up with @Zixuan Huang@Alfred Alinazar@Anoop Nair and @Gaurav Soni on the drives. Nice to meet @Rjducos @Goutam@Ivan Pironi@Shaz Shah@Paolo Pellegrini and @Hisham Masaad (who was happily walking around catching up with drivers while his tyres were being simultaneously inflated via his iPhone app - as per the other thread!) Love the mods on your FJC - you clearly mean business! A couple of pics in the gallery. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
