Davie Chase

@Marketa Dobesova @Arvind Uchil @Gautam Banka @Mohit Gurnani @Imteeaz @Ron.P @Patrick @Juan R @Ignacio Quindós thank you all for joining the drive last evening, I hope you all had as much fun as I did covering a grand total of 58kms. we had everything that we had planned for except of course a mini popout, but we did plan for a beautiful sunset, to a taste of night driving and of course some lovely flowing dunes to play on. We also encountered some unexpected traffic, I have never seen traffic like that since I have been driving in the desert in truly was a sheik Zaid experience. you guys all drove extremely well and that was evident from the very few refusals and stucks that we encountered so well done to you all. @Marketa Dobesova thank you for an absolutely brilliant second lead, you followed my instructions well and gave clear and concise inputs to the rest of the convoy, was a pleasure to have you follow me, correct the lines and keep the convoy on the right track. @Ignacio Quindós thank you for accepting the late change and stepping up to sweep the convoy, excellent job at the back giving me regular updates makes leading with confidence so much easier when you know what is happening at the back. @Imteeaz fantastic support as always in the CF position your calm nature and clear head in dealing with the couple of issues we had made the drive much smoother for sure. @Arvind Uchil I hope your passenger is feeling better and really glad you were able to complete the drive with us. Have a great week ahead see you all again soon

@Stan not sure on the Error mate maybe @Frederic or @Gaurav can assist, I did it from my phone but two came out black although I did not get an error message hope you get it sorted and thank you for the kind words of support

Thanks @Looper for splitting the convoy and allowing me to lead the second convoy today, it was a great route we picked with a lot of different terrain. The Faqa Express passed by with ease as we were shoveling a crested team member. Well @Simon D and @Pacific were actually doing the shoveling :):) i was supervising from the comfort of my leather arm chair with AC on full blast the terrain that the convoy went through today was some of the trickiest I have seen for a while and powdery soft in places making it more difficult, @Pacific @Ignacio Quindós @Stumpy Paj @Yaseen87 @Simon D @Mark B &@Tareq Al Turq each and every one of you managed it with style and Panish, a very well done to all. @Ignacio Quindós what can I say, just wow and thank you, fantastic second lead, great distance enabling you to maneuver left or right as soon as I told you to, fit made the drive a lot smoother and safer fantastic support thank you. @Simon D excellent as always in the CF Role your calm instructions assisted to get the few refusals and stucks we had turned around safely and quickly well done and thankyou. @Pacific superb support in the SW position helping out Simon where needed in your usual calm and patient manner. Well done to all and thanks you for making my Sunday one to remember. some stats for those that enjoy knowing where we went
