Thanks Luca, I am on the drive this afternoon hence the request to be on waitlist, as I know slots fill up within a min or two 😂.

I will subscribe as suggested. Thanks.

@Luca Palanca Falsini Hi Luca, could you please add me on the waitlist for this drive.

Indeed a fantastic evening and great start to the weekend. @Chaitanya D Doc my second drive with you and enjoyed every bit of it, night driving was a good learning (my first drive after sunset) as you mentioned it’s at a different pace but needs more than 100% attention as it’s easy to lose track and end up in an unwanted situation.
@Foxtrot Oscar Angela thanks for all the support and hope to drive one under your leadership soon.

thanks to everyone in the convoy for a smooth drive (if I remember correctly we only had to get shovels out twice, no ropes at all), we should all be proud of our achievement and thanks again to Marshal and Sweep for leading and mentoring us today.

Congrats @varunmehndiratta, well earned, keeping going strong mate.

@Rahimdad bhai, managed to get on Chaitanya's drive, hope you catch up with you some day soon.

@Wrangeld Richard managed to get on Chaitanya's drive, hope you catch up with you some day soon.

@Chaitanya D Many thanks was eagerly waiting for being signed up on any of the drives, i will join you tomorrow.

@Wrangeld Hi Richard any chance i could join this drive. I had to back out of Ale's drive as was not sure i could join tomorrow morning but i know now i can (i am also checking with Chaitanya and Rahimdad if there are any openings in their drive).

@Chaitanya D any chance I could join this drive. I had to back out of Ale’s drive as I was not sure if I could join tomorrow, now I know I can hence checking if there is any availability on any drives that I could join.

@Rahimdad bhai, any possibility for me to join this trip?

Hi @Ale Vallecchi unfortunately yes, i was looking forward to be on this drive and trust me still hopeful i can in case someone else backs out later tonight and i am able to confirm my attendance.

My family thinks old man has gone bonkers or maybe his head hit somewhere during the AN drive. Anyways I don't care as long as there are drives

@Thomas Varghesenot just family we also think you gone bonkers 😁... whatever works for you buddy go for it...

@Ale Vallecchi I have a late evening work call which may end up with me working tomorrow morning (wont be sure till the call is completed, about 9:30-10pm tonight), hence its only fair for me to let someone else who is able to confirmed to join the drive. 

Once i know i can do the drives tomorrow morning will look for any available slots in this drive or any other eligible drive. let me know if i should remove my RSVP from this drive.

Oh goodness....split seconds and I would have lost the slot...😀

I was looking at the clock and it took less than 1 min for the 10 slots to go.... 

In my opinion he was fighting gravity..... not really sure what happened in the first instance but you can hear in the audio something the driver did wasn't correct (Also evident from the amount of sand behind)....

As i learnt driving a Warngler they do fishtail and if you are not controlling the speed and direction you ask for trouble.

to summarize my thoughts... he came in at a high speed (possibly crisscrossing the dune) and lost control (See the car's direction at 0.01 and 0.02 sec) then he tried to steer up (should have steered down instead) and with high speed his car fishtailed which just helped in flipping over 

Thanks @Kalahari, comments and suggestions well received and appreciated, many thanks for the valuable advice.

h the drivers should try and eliminate - rather

@Kalahari thanks for your feedback and will keep that in mind any other suggestions are welcomed (since you were driving behind us you had a better view of where i can improve).

@Jeandre Bezuidenhout, thanks for keeping our surroundings clean, I don't think i have discarded anything in the desert and if it was me or from my car it would be purely unintentional or purely due to wind and i do apologies if it was from my car. 

Busy working day mate so not happening this weekend

sounds very tempting and times running out as well (weather is getting warmer)

I would love to but since i don't have company will return back to the comfort of my home 😄

Hi @Vanessa8580 is there room for me to join this drive. This would be my second drive, I am confirmed with Richard for the morning drive.

Congrats @Luca Palanca Falsini

I will not be able to make it. Thanks for trying to accommodate me. Really sad I can’t join today, hopefully next week.

@Foxtrot Oscar hi Angela I have work commitments and not 100% sure if I will be able to make it for the drive. If there is someone on waitlist who can join for sure then happy give my slot to them. I still intend to join if slots available but would only be able to confirm by 11 am tomorrow.

@Lorenzo Candelpergher Sincere apologies for backing off at the 10th Hr, have some work commitment and wont be able to join tomorrow.
