Hi Danish @Danish Mohammad, there's really no need for you to apologies or feel bad about; for me it was more like a tough day at work and you managed it beautifully! Enough has been said already however would like to speak for myself and share my two cents here - irrespective of the level, i am always learning given the fact that most drives expose me to new/unique situations/terrain providing fresh perspective and learnings. Last Saturday was no different. Thanks to @Lorenzo Candelpergher, @M.Seidam and @Hisham Masaad for their leadership and support. I am supremely impressed and motivated by Lorenzo in the calm and reassured manner in which he handled each situation and ensured that we accomplished the drive as a team and also by you for remaining calm yourself and not giving up - very well done! to the rest of mates - it was again a wonderful experience driving with you and hope to be together on another drive soon.

That's a fact indeed! the grapevine has it that Mahindra will introduce it latest Thar in the UAE market pretty soon. waiting to see how and it goes

Trivia #1 Parade magazine called it “...the Army's most intriguing new gadget” The gadget was “a tiny truck which can do practically everything.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower said that America couldn't have won World War II without it. The tiny truck was the Jeep, built at the time by the Willys Truck Company. {Many explanations of the origin of the word jeep have proven difficult to verify. The most widely held theory is that the military designation GP (for Government Purposes or General Purpose) was slurred into the word Jeep. A counter to the slurred GP theory was that the vehicle was designed for specific duties, and was never referred to as "General Purpose". It is also suggested that soldiers at the time were so impressed with the new vehicles that they informally named it after Eugene the Jeep, a character in the Popeye comic strip and cartoons that could solve any problem. The word jeep, however, was used as early as 1914 by US Army mechanics assigned to test new vehicles. In 1937, tractors which were supplied to the US Army were called jeeps. A precursor of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was also referred to as the jeep}.

Thank you Marjan @Jeepie for the wonderful drive; from small technical dunes to the big-red, ridge-riding, crisscrossing and lovely climbs on the bowls - it had everything. The relatively small convoy that we had drove expertly with very few refusals and cresting meant that we had long stretches of continuous drives - just loved it. thanks @Hisham Masaad for your dependable support. @Alain Canivet-Abikhalil, @Zixuan Huang - Charlie, @Sunil Mathew, @Chris Wing and @darren thompson - it was great meeting today and was a pleasure driving with you guys.
