  7. @Wrangled, @Gaurav & All, This trip was really fantastic and I would like to share my experience and the lesson learnt that's made me really proud to be a member of this excellent community. In half one trip, I experience smooth trip with no significant issue but I heard strange knocking noise from the front of my car every time I accelerate but didn't realized the problem with the front differential and I only focus to check the suspension. In the half three trip, after many car stuck in the dreaded bowl of death, we tried to help each other and after I pulled Mike's car, my car got stuck in the middle of the bowl, I tried to do self recovery but suddenly I heard strong grinding noise from the front side of my car and since then I lost power from both front wheel. After several attempt of recovery throughout great collaboration from all team, incredible technique by @Mehmet Volga and lead by @Wrangled, we could recover my car but I could not continue the trip as my car lost 4x4 drive. To make long story short, @Wrangled made decision the let the team to continue the trip and I should stay and wait for @Wrangled and @Gaurav to return and help the recovery. To be honest while waiting, I feel not comfortable and guilty with the situation that will put more burden to @Wrangled & @Gaurav to recover my car while they have been busy and tiring since morning guiding us. I made decision to contact someone on my car dealer and as they don't have desert recovery, they only could help by sending third party vendor to do recovery. I accepted the offer and I informed @Wrangled and told him that I found the solution, please take a rest and no need to come back. Surprisingly both of @Wrangled and @Gaurav came back to my position and we agreed to wait the recovery team to arrive. After waiting for nearly 2 hours, the recovery team came but unfortunately they are not the expert as what I expected. They tried to pull the car with many dangerous method that broke one of my car towing hook and suggest me the call insurance recovery team/mechanic to come in the next day. After the recovery team left, @Gaurav approach me and suggest to try quick recovery before sun down. I was tasked to deflate the tire to 6 psi while @Gaurav @Wrangled my son shovel the sand, then @Gauravpulled the car out using his car. With just only few gas power, then the car moved out of the pit and we tow the car further in reverse to the flat ground . @Gaurav then drove my car out from the desert using 2H safely next to the main road as I followed behind on @Wrangled 's car. @Gaurav & @Wrangled return back to the desert to fetch @Gaurav's Car as I inflated my tyres. All of us then met up to finish preparing to go back home safely. In summary, this was really an excellence customer experience where two of Carnity leaders has shown : 1. Great leadership by taking full responsibility and taking care for a member. 2. Professional expertise by incorporating the use of technique and strategy during the recovery. 3. Passionate, highly motivated and confidence on the difficult situation. With this experience, I truly believe that Carnity is an excellent community led by professional leader and marshals. I also have learnt the following lesson's from this trip : 1. Strategy and Technique is the key of off-roading and I have enrolled my self to desert driving masterclass as I want to gain deeper understanding to overcome the challenges I will face in the desert. 2. Every member should wait the instruction from the convoy lead before taking any action. 3. Checking the Car condition and being alert with some abnormal car behavior is important because my car issue caused by small leak from Car front differential seal that trigger lack of lubrication and worn out some front differential gears. Lastly, I would like to express my regards and appreciation to @Wrangled, @Gaurav & @Mehmet Volga as well as the rest of the convoy team for great team work and collaboration and I deeply apologize for problem that cause the delay to the convoy and consume extra effort and time to @Gaurav & @Wrangled.

  11. @Ale Vallecchi thank you for excellence guide provided to handle recovery without shovel. This experience gave me great convident to tackle such difficult situation calmly in the future. Your passion and very directive guide and support highly appreciate. Thank you also for @Niki Patel and @Jeepie for great job and all participant for support and collaboration. Look forward to have another trip with you all..
  12. Echoing Thomas, the afternoon trip was really enjoyable, challenging and the most importance is really safe. Special thanks for excellence lead and guide by @Chaitanya D and supported by @AlexPol, @Anish S & @Mahmoud Hamzawy
