It’s alright. Winter is coming so I’m not worried about missing a drive.

Good morning @Lorenzo Candelpergher sadly I won’t be able to join this drive, the timing doesn’t work for me as much as I tried to squeeze it in 😂. See you guys on the next one. I’ll remove myself from the RSVP

Question @Lorenzo Candelpergher it says this is a morning drive, however the meeting time is at 2PM @Arman and I are going crazy thinking which one it is😂. Care to clarify please?

@Luca Palanca Falsini sorry for the late notice but I’m removing myself from the drive. Won’t be able to make it. Sorry . Enjoy everyone else

Meh, don’t think this is as useful in sand, mountains I can understand but on sand? I wouldn’t think so. Cool concept though. Why would you need stability the fun of off roading is being tossed around in your car like a mixer. That’s where all the adrenaline comes from 😜

Just some advice, same situation happened to me, I was driving in the desert and suddenly the tire went flat. I inflated and it was all ok. Fast forward 1 week again same issue. I then come to find out my rim was dented and when I was deleted air would slowly leak. Go get your rims checked. Since the tire is at 35psi there won’t be a leak because of the pressure, but at low psi’s if your rim is dented leaks will happen. @Lorenzo Candelpergher remembers this situation 😂 it was an area 53 drive.

Fantastic drive @Lorenzo Candelpergher I enjoyed it, I wouldn’t say a walk in the park for me, I felt I was being tested to see if I could Maneuver my car through all the sharp crests and in between all the tight dunes, and eventually I did get stuck 😂. I guess I’m too used to Area 53/Fayah/Fossil Rock where there is a lot of space for error. Other than that I enjoyed the drive, and the weather wasn’t actually that bad especially earlier in the morning, I noticed @Luca Palanca Falsini was driving with his windows down. Great job everyone and see you all soon inshallah 💪🏽

Looks like it’s turning into an Intermediate drive 😂😂

See Spotify has Arabic music, but you have to type the song name in English and the spelling is all over the place, so I just bought YouTube premium and made my life easier. I use Spotify for on road and normal days, and YouTube for off road since I can download the songs like Spotify.

I totally agree, i even have a metal playlist (a couple of those actually) , 2 throwback playlists (as in late 90s to early 2000s), and a hype playlist. I can share them if you like

I also do have a desert playlist, and its a Arabic playlist, yes I know, the Local listens to Arabic music in the desert, surprising 😂. However its on YouTube sadly. If you have YouTube premium you're lucky, if not ill do my best to make find the songs on Spotify. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6Q94kbBQhZb2YA_SpMktd7rB2JVCMKWt Its still being updated when I find some new hyper Arabic desert songs

@Francois Germishuys sexy pictures in my opinion 😉

I requested it 😂 and in the desert as I stated before, the men’s room is everywhere 😂

Wow, that’s a lot to take in. Spent maybe 20 minutes reading everything carefully. First, AMAZING drive! I enjoyed it a bit too much, I think my passengers got sick due to my urge to try and climb as high and I can and keep up as much momentum going up, and perhaps the young 22 year old trying to show off to his friends, (yes I had 3 other people with me 😅). Second, great driving everyone was very enjoyable, I loved climbing Al Faya from the back, kinda reminded me of area 53. Finally, wish I could have continued but alas, didn’t want anyone puking in my car 😂. I do have some comments of my own if I may be so bold to voice them. I’m sure everyone would appreciate them. @varunmehndiratta I will commend you on finding a clean path when we sadly left @M.Seidam and @Ashok chaturvedi behind. @Dodi Syahdar was on my tail the whole time and I was driving very aggressively, great job I’m very impressed usually I’m the one stuck to @Dodi Syahdar tail, @Abu Muhammad I thought you got stuck a couple of time and to my surprised your beast and your skills in the desert paid off great job. @Francois Germishuys I saw you and your beast having a lot of fun in the back, especially with those new shocks you out in, hope the ride was smooth. Also let me know how they felt if they are worth it, or maybe If I should invest in the 2.5s. Also I have a couple of awesome pictures for you. I’ll post them when I get them (my passenger took them) I couldn’t see much of what was going on in the front so I don’t have anything to say. @varunmehndiratta I won’t leave anyone in the desert especially when nature calls, it would be kind of embarrassing to tell the story of how you got left behind in the desert while doing your business🤣🤣. Next time drive your car to the place you want to water the plants 🤣 instead of walking there the person behind you will wait for you, so will the convoy. I’m not going to comment about what should have been done or what went wrong I thing everything was clearly stated by everyone. I’ll be positive and focus on the good things 😃 Overall amazing drive @Lorenzo Candelpergher I loved every moment, every time I drive with you the fun just gets more and more intense, (except for my first IM drive with you, where I almost wet myself from the sheer difficulty and excitement, that drive I will never forget that drive.)

Sad stuff 😟 I always love seeing the mighty VTC in the desert gliding on all the dunes.

Does that mean I get to sweep *excitement increases 😍*

I confirm. See you there inshallah!

@Ale Vallecchi no problem at all! Since that’s the case I’ll leave the RSVP. Shehab, 1st drive WL

@Ale Vallecchi hey Ale I didn’t have a drive this weekend and I saw there was space in your drive, I know it’s a late join. If there was anyone waiting let me know I’ll leave the RSVP

So @Lorenzo Candelpergher sad news, just found out my grandmother and my uncle are leaving Dubai and I have to drop them at the airport in the morning. So sadly can’t make it next time inshallah! I’ll remove myself from the rsvp.

Ayyyyyyyyy mabrook @Aisha S can’t wait to drive with you on the IM drives

Yea I was afraid my data would mess up and I’d miss it 😂 Exactly!!! I’m so hyped up!!!

Damn. Not even a minute and the drive was full. @Lorenzo Candelpergher seems like the last 1km ascent was really good. Can’t wait for the next one 💪🏽

Am I the only one who’s waiting anxiously for the drive location 😂 I’ve been checking the website daily just to see “@Islam Soliman has commented” Hope everyone has a great start to the weekend!

Great drive @Lorenzo Candelpergher finally after my 3rd attempt at area 53 i finally completed a drive and I may be addicted to these dunes 😍. Great job everyone very well driven the only time we really were stopped for a while was when @Abu Muhammad got crested and when the convoy split up other than that everything was so smooth i could have went on for hours. Thank you to everyone that supported @Hisham Masaad @Shaz Shah @Alexander Alcala @Javier Lucero awesome job! See you all in the next area 53 drive 😂
