Nithin Vaidir

Hi , did I miss the convoy positions?? Or is it yet to be shared ?? 

Hi @Kailas, I will have to excuse from this drive and I have a work call tomorrow morning at 7am. Sorry and enjoy the drive . Thank you . 

Hi Srikumar, I have withdrawn my RSVP for the drive due to an important meeting. Thank  you and enjoy the drive . 

Sorry Ale, I have drop out last morning min due to a personal issue. Cheers 

Thank you @Anish S @Brette @Chris Wing @jodha singh shekhawat and the fellow convoy members for the excellent drive this morning. The route was magnificent and the drive was flawless. Enjoyed it thoroughly , looking forward to more drives. 

I have the camel 2 cylinder compressor . It takes me sound 65-70 seconds to inflate from 12-14 psi to 33-35 psi. I have been using it for 6 months and I feel it’s good value for money. I ensure I switch it off each time I move from one wheel to the another to avoid over heating.

Thank you @Nabil Bishara , @Islam Soliman and @marks for the excellent drive today. First for starting early anticipating the heat and related issues.  After doing a few drives on the red sand at pink rock, qudras white and unused dunes were a welcome treat. I was lucky to be given the opportunity tow and recover a crested car. Each drive gives a new experience and learning. Looking forward to more drives with all of you . The convoy was excellent too. 

Like this Nabil, I wanted to suggest this to you ... welcome change in timing.

What an exciting story @Thomas Varghese.Carnity doesn’t just teach us desert driving. I believe we learn a lot of life skills like Leadership, being there for each other , patience and many more. Glad to know that you and your car are back in action. Until we meet on the sand 👋

Sounds very exciting!!! Looking forward to the drive. 

Congrats @Anish S

@Ashok chaturvedi I have done 4 drives now using the automatic tire deflator which I bought from AOR. It works pretty well. What I do though is set the deflating pressure at around 15psi. Which means I still walk around after the deflation to reduce it to 13 or 14 psi manually. All in all it takes a combined time of 3-4 mins . I use the deflation time to fix my flag pole.  All this tome can be saved if we arrive 10mins early. However it is extremely convenient for me personally. Now I will have to do a few more drives to check the durability.

Great report @Wrangeld Richard and great to be a part of one of your drives again. Good to drive with some familiar faces and meeting some new ones too, including fellow Raptor and instagrammer @Watteau Alex keeping things going in the Centre.

What a bonus seeing those beautifully colored parrots, awesome creatures!

Thanks to the support team and a pleasure to meet @Arman for the first time.

Hope everybody who had car issues before and during the drive manage to get them sorted in time for the weekend coming!

As for the ‘stuck’, I preferred to call it a minor refusal

See you all soon.

Driving behind the 2 Raptors, it felt like there was not enough hill for them to conquer !!! It was a treat watching and hearing the roaring beasts. 

Congrats on your 50th lead Richard @Wrangeld. It was indeed a fin ride . Each drive is a new experience  and I wish to learn more from you all.
