Sure. Tx. 

Hi @Frederic, great effort. Thank you.

I will arrive slightly later than the originally planned time. Is it alright?

My return from Liwa has left me exhausted. So, I wish I could slumber soundly in my tent tonight. 😂 With snoring sound.

Congratulations @Robk. 

@GauravSoni @Charlie@Charlie@Charlie@Charlie.  The pop-out reason was valve issue. fixed it.👍

The wiring issue on the battery terminal is also fixed.👍

Reflecting on the drive last weekend, a standout moment was mastering the side-sloping technique. This off-road driving skill involves intentionally tilting the vehicle while navigating slopes, requiring a delicate balance and precise control. Key points learned include assessing the terrain for potential hazards, careful tire placement, and maintaining a slow, steady pace for optimal control. Just like in life, side-sloping taught the importance of balance, anticipation, and skillful navigation through challenging landscapes. 🚙✨  Big shout out goes to Marshall @GauravSoni for teaching us in his unique way the entire technique was amazing 👏👏🤝. 

Special thank you to @ Charlie for his incredible support. Thank you buddy.

Thank you for the fellow convoy members for patient and wonderful drive. 

@GauravSoni I'm looking forward to the crisscross skill, learning drive soon. 

Hi Ale, sorry for the delay in revert. Unfortunately I can't make it up this drive. Will see on next. I highly appreciate your understanding. Thank you 🙏

Hi Ale, I just concluded a Fewbie drive this morning. My xterra has some battery terminal issue, am in garage to sort it out. If all okay I will join this drive. Alternatively, I am seeking permission with my wife to get her car Toyota Fortuner for a drive. If either one works out will join the drive. I shall keep you posted around 4pm.  Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Many more happy returns of the day and year. 🎂Happy Birthday @Frederic🎁🎊
