Probably @Kailas would need one as well. Sorry to pitch in on his behalf.

Yes definitely I am In. Can’t thank my stars.

Please waitlist me for the 2nd drive of the day

This channel what i reminded of, and came here to tell reading the first post. They are Saudis and many of them get them self bogged in a difficult place and then try to recover one by one, it goes on for hours if you have seen it. Crazy people if you ask me.

This Adnoc Petrol Station is the nearest on E311 from Dubai side.

Indeed, this new defender seems to have some issues. There is a YouTube Channel: The Fast Lane, where they had gone though 3 cars to finally see a car that worked.

It is indeed a great addition. I had seen it after last week’s drive when I was updating my excel file I maintain for my drives. there was an afternoon drive I could not attend with @Foxtrot Oscar after a couple of pop outs on my JL in the morning drive with @Gaurav and my then dead beat Compressor took 5-10 min to fill up each tyre. That drive still shows up in the list. Perhaps no-shows need to be marked out for clarity sake. There could be also situations where some late entry participants might just come in to join at the time of starting of the drive. It would be great to see details from the admin side added to the database perhaps in a future update such as - the Gaia GPS metrics, officiating members names (lead/2nd lead/ Center Forward/ Sweep etc) and convoy position in a tabular form. I guess it is too much to ask so soon now, isn’t it?

Yes definitely. Thanks a lot.

I understand, It was my mistake. I only saw the calendar and missed to consider there could be waitlists, and that it is still Monday. A day too soon to join like this. This week everyone gets to go to just one drive each.

Yes i joined today. I had joined in the sole Intermediate drive initially yesterday evening but when i saw an opportunity here i exited that drive and joined here. If out of turn entry, put me in the waiting list please.

Congratulations @Anish S 🥳👍

As usual it was great driving with you @Foxtrot Oscar at the lead. Everyone drove exceptionally well and during the first half of the drive, I was literally thinking if there could be a drive without the word "refusal" uttered and a momentarily zoned out me was not able to climb a teeny tiny slop and then heard the word spoken by @M.Seidam who was behind be. I was a bit irritated at myself at that. The drive kept on getting mildly more challenging as everyone was keeping up as the drive progressed and I loved every bit of it.

A wonderful drive indeed. Thanks a lot @Frederic! Looking forward to many more drives with you.

Yes I am in

Can you please wItlist me for my 2nd drive of the week?

Thanks a lot @Islam Soliman, it was to be a wonderful fun drive, until the unfortunate incident with your car.

Update: A powerful industrial strenght compressed air at a car wash helped clean the sand and the distortion was removed. Earlier I was blowing with air from my ARB twin compressor - but it wasn't enough.

Great news! Congratulations @Foxtrot Oscar

"Better Template" is a subjective thing to ask. Whatever is easy for you to enter data into and which helps track your record is the better template. But here you go with a truncated version of my somewhat not so simple file I made to track my own drives. I made this one for my wife who only did an absolute newbie drive, couldn't go to the 2nd one. DriveDB Sheet and Members Table (in List Sheet) are optional and used when one want to see with whom they are driving most. One can add more columns in the Summary sheet to record their (Gaia) GPS drive data and link to the online version of the same. List sheet is used as validation of the input data & Greyed out columns are automatically picked up. The file is structured in this fashion so that the data input is validated and can be used to make pivot tables / reports if one wants to - of course one might want to enter a lot more data points to be able to do more.
