The Devil's in the Details

What a great drive. Playful bowls, a great popout, some technical sections, the rat run, wide solar dunes and a little bonus at the end. And that's before we get to see the drone shots.

I'm already quite breathless!

It was an excellent drive. This was a great test for newbie level and it was for the main part well driven. We had problems where I expected, and the drive was scaled up because the convoy did so well.

@Ahab ShamaaSuperb second lead again. Never put a wheel wrong. Hope your radio capitan had fun.

@Pickey Singh you are getting more confident with the FJ, but you need to use the power properly and more often.

@MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQRest assured, driving the jeep will just get more and more fun. Great job today.

@varunmehndirattaok so you did not need the shovel for yourself today. I like the way you are progressing.

@Explored Dubai sorry about the bumper. I don't know a Pajero that has not lost bits of the car on a drive. Less recoveries today and more confidence. For your second outing, great job.

@VipinShetty great drive. Well done with the help you gave. You'll understand a lot more in your own driving by helping others. 

@Derek FernandesFrom what I could see, you really started to enjoy playing with the car this week. Excellent 2nd drive. Really showed what you've learned to the best of your abilities

@Sai BaskaranBaskaran dynasty drives meant we had you this morning and your mastery of the car is showing. Please continue this trajectory. 

@bassel el rafeireally good to see you bring your car to the game ... Although there was some competitive offering with 2 Y62s in your mirrors (must have been terrifying 😂😂😂). You have the power, use it. 

 

@Ken HüüdmaHüüdma your preference might be for slower drives, but you did really well today. I promise to let you know when we have a big technical sections coming in a drive.

@Lorenzo CandelpergherCanCa you do more on a drive? Support, drone flying, popouts. As ever you were the ultimate senior to have on a drive. Thanks. 

As special thanks as well to the radio captains today. You did great too.

See you soon in the sand.

 

 

 

@Wrangeld Richard, youve been present for my very first two rides (absolute newbie and now newbie) and ive throughly enjoyed everybit of it. Youve been a knowlegde base of information and im privillaged to get to tap into it during my offroading experinces. @Lorenzo Candelpergher ive heard it mentioned that you are the man to get to when there is a pop out and ive see it first hand. i know that its hard work but you make it look so easy and did know exactky what to do. Great knowhow on the drone info as well. i do plan to get one and when i do, i know whos brains to pick.
@VipinShetty it was clear that youd done this before and i was happy to follow the tyre path you left. Gave me prespective on how to navigate the dunes.
Every drive i learn more and happy it is with you amazing ppl. Hope to see you all soon in the coming weeks.

Cheers

Hello @Wrangeld, you were amazing. Made my first off road experience enjoyable but more so informative. Ive had a prior experience but you and the team are hands down the best and the reason i and my screaming shortgun will be joining carnity in the coming weeks. 

Thank you  @Lorenzo Candelpergher for giving me the knowhow on how to deflate my tyres which before for a newbie like me was a task in itself. You were there to welcome me as soon as i reached the meeting point and gave me a warm first impression of carnity. 

Thank you @Frederic for the titbits of valuable information you passed through out and with some good funny banter all along the trip ro make this so so pleasant.

 thank you Arman and you co-pilot of the awesome pics and to all the rest @ALI ALMOUMAR @Irshad Alam @varunmehndiratta @Explored Dubai @Vrinda Muttiyil @Hisham Masaad @HAZEM.Ali @Ken Hüüdma  ... happy to have shared this desert drive with you.

Hope to see you all on the next ... Cheers

PS: @Wrangeld my partner in crime would like to thank you for the motivation and she assures me that when she'll drive next .. im the one who is going the be the one screaming like a girl in the shortgun seat
