Must invest in a relive - looks like you hit above 100kph! Quite impressive!

Your wife has made my afternoon quite a treat, thanks Suzie

It's really good, we were only 0.4km off yesterdays distance as well, 103 was the max I think, just been watching the extreme E from Allula in KSA, looks amazing terrain there, they are hitting 150 in the sand!!!! Two big crashes though, mini eggs and motorsport, heaven!!!

After a short interlude and sleep in my chair I would like to thank everyone for this morning's drive my first time in that area and it was brilliant, I think both convoy's managed to arrive at the exit within minutes of each other. thanks again everyone.

just delete the dot at the end of the link in your browser and it opens, I think I have done it right here https://goo.gl/maps/nw8T6zyYKBBUziK5A

Dear @Watteau, @Niki Patel, @Thomas Varghese, @kolinrrj, @Sreejith Sreenivasan, @stavros papachristos, if you are interested in confirming the Mystery drive this Saturday, I'll be happy to open it up again, and double the convoy, with the assistance of @Wrangeld, who will lead the second group.

Please confirm here if you are still willing to join, and I'll add you now.

Thanks a lot.

BREAKING NEWS - She's baaaacccckkkkk, didn't want to miss  @Foxtrot Oscar's drive, she enjoyed it so much last time, no pressure Angela.... 

@Foxtrot Oscar can I waitlist please second drive, can do short notice as well. Thanks

What a fantastic afternoon, I want to do that every Tuesday, great route, great convoy, nearly 50km in less than 3 hours, great effort, thanks @Foxtrot Oscar @GauravSoni and @Islam Soliman for keeping us safe and in one piece. One of our favourite drives so far. No album yet, but that sunset and the abandoned car are sure to feature.  

Thanks again for the drive, here is the route we covered, 59km. see you all in the sand soon

Well done @kolinrrj lets see some more airtime over those ridges, I looked back in my mirror and you were flying, hope the car was ok

Thanks everyone. I'm loving being part of the club and it allows my wife and I to spend some quality time together whilst enjoying the Sands of this wonderful Country. Here's to the next level thanks to the management and especially @Rahimdad and @Wrangeld for their excellent tutelage. 

Another great drive today, big thanks to @Rahimdad @marks and @Mohamed Seidam for keeping us safe and imparting their knowledge and know how. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, I have attached a track for anyone interested in our route today, still working out how to get the elevation and speed etc, looks like it was just over 24km, enjoy your weekends, thanks again.

Well deserved Salman, see you with the F150 soon

Are there two drives in the same location at the same time?

Have sorted it now, I'm with you Rahim, I had put down for both of them, have a good week, see you Friday

are there two drives going from the same location, at the same time? Not sure if one is a duplicate?

What a great morning, Suzy and I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks everyone. As usual felt safe and in control and were presented with multiple opportunities to get things right. Ready for the next one. I'm loving the marvel and DC T shirts @Mario Cornejo and @Rahimdad , going to break out Fat Thor next time!!!!

Please place me on waitlist 2nd Drive
