@Yasas Dharmadasa our fight is not with the government here. As long as we share the same interests let's see how we can help them with our experience to make things better.

@RahimdadAs I thought your expression was somewhat frustration I only suggested. Otherwise same interests on work are complimented.

Doing Fewbie and Intermediate drives in AD is a completely different experience and something that can be fully cherished only in winters. 

And with the ease of the new drive through DPI test (without appointment) I would love to be in AD every weekend.

Once in a month may be okay

The Abu Dhabi government stole our idea which we have developed over the past 4 years. Learning off-roading in your own vehicle while enjoying off-roading. Confused whether to give a pat on our back or kick my back side.

Copyright violations at it's finest😬 Don't worry we'll grab their routes💪

@Paul Zeitoun, it was incredible! None of the people present at the site, had seen anything like it. @DANIEL NOGUEIRA, please share pics of what happened to the tow point. I didn’t take a picture of it 😀

At the end however, Daniel drove his truck out of the desert in 2 wheel drive mode. How awesome is that? 😍

I just wish @Niki Patel was with us to witness all the craziness (and to see the power our Kaijus pack 💪🏻)
I guess the Sushi and Hamburger Gods were smiling down on us that day 😀

@Wrangeld and @Luca Palanca Falsini, thank you so much for the lovely drive and for all you did to help us out 🙏🏻
 

@Gaurav, thanks for coming back to our convoy to help us with the recovery effort 😀

@MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ, you and your son are the cool cats of the convoy 😍 Love the matching outfits! 
 

@Yasas Dharmadasa and @Athula Dharmadada and Damiru, you are the exemplary family! Always there for each other; helping, shoveling, encouraging. You guys take some cool pictures too (especially when they’re of me 🤪).

@Probir Mukherjee, I think you’re on the right path 😀 Thanks for trusting me with the winch; I don’t trust myself 😂

@Goutam, you were my fantastic second lead 🤣 Hopefully, you’ll have the bumper you want on the next drive. 
@Francois Germishuys, your driving skill and knowledge are impressive. I think you’re an undercover Expert disguising as a Fewbie+ 😂

@Sajit Modiyil, you were so far in the front, I could barely see you. I think you did a great job as a second lead, seeing that we all made it out alive 😀

@Rizwan Waheed, I can’t believe you bro! We were looking forward for some laughs on the sand. I guess we all learned the lesson of the need to being early to these drives 👍🏻

See you all on the sand soon!

Brian 😂

@Ahab Shamaa your observation of the team is as fantastic as your drive.

I gave you all much trouble this time than any other. Appreciate all the expert shovellers that surrounded me in the ditch on the rescue operation.

My visitors were admiring the togetherness of all the team members.

Will meet on the cool and crazy dunes again...!!!

Hi @Gaurav,

Kindly see to it that my brother @Athula Dharmadada and I drive in the same convoy. Sorry about any inconveniences.

Thank you

@Yasas Dharmadasa you dont meet the criteria of 5 fewbie drives to be eligible for this drive. I am afraid I have to advise you to sign out of this drive as you have completed only 4 fewbie till now.

Thanks

@Chaitanya D Yes, I am aware that I've only completed 4 fewbie drives up until now, but as I will be attending the Liwa drive on the 2nd, I RSVP'd for this drive knowing I will be done with 5 fewbie drives by the the 5th. Let me know if that's okay.

Thanks

@Vanessa8580 Please add me to the waiting list. Thank you

Congratulations Athula. 

@Wrangeld @Jeepie Thank you for the excellent morning drive along with the invaluable feedback!

@Athula Dharmadada Congratulations! 

@Gaurav @Wrangeld @Brette @Mohamed Seidam @Ale Vallecchi @Nivin @Frederic @Rahimdad Thank you all for the kind wishes! Appreciate it!

@Athula Dharmadada and I have totally agreed.

@Gaurav As I was able to make it into the Faqa Loop drive with my brother today(as I missed my window on Sunday) due to a member from that group leaving, I have left this drive to Pink Rock. Very sorry for any inconveniences caused. Thank you

@Ale Vallecchi As @Shyam Karat won't be making it to the drive, may I be added to the list?
