Congratulations @Asif Hussain well deserved.

Congrats @M.Seidam it has been a pleasure driving with you and learning from you, this is a well deserved promotion, sorry i wont be here to see you grow further.

Thanks @Emanuel the pleasure was shared my friend, it has been a blast and i have enjoyed watching yours and many others journeys as well, good luck with your personal journey in Carnity i am certain it will be fantastic.

@Frederic I actually had a Hyabusa when i was in the UK rode it for 2 years and loved it

Today is a sad day and a happy one at the same time, the Jeep is SOLD! My beloved Red Rubicon who has been a steadfast companion over four unforgettable years. Together, we conquered 184 thrilling drives with Carnity, beginning with a masterclass led by none other than the legend himself, @Frederic. To leading 74 adventures across the sands as a trip lead, this remarkable machine was more than just a vehicle, it was a partner in every challenge, and every triumph. Crowning it all, a desert championship trophy stands as a testament to the journeys we shared and the milestones we achieved. I am and will be forever grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the legacy we built together. Sad because this is the end of an Era for me personally, as i can no longer lead or indeed drive in the desert and specifically for the club that has been my home for 4 years of off roading @Carnity. Happy because my wonderful companion will still be seen in the desert, it will still be seen at Carnity, and it will assist another newbie to hopefully follow in my footsteps, (and i believe they have already signed up for membership). I really do hope that the new owner gets as much pleasure as i had from the car and i also hope that they do not get the same scares ( @Gaurav you will know what i mean, and anyone else who was on the particular Fb drive i am referring to ) that i also had, although that does make you realize the resilience of the Jeep. I want to extend my deepest thanks to every single member of Carnity that I have had the privilege to drive with as well as the absolute honor to lead over the past few years. The spirit of this club, the camaraderie, coupled with the eagerness to learn have been nothing short of inspiring. I would not trade this experience for anything… except maybe to have started it many years earlier! Thank you all for making this journey truly life changing and unforgettable. Your support and patience as I learned to navigate the sands, assist Carnity's exceptional leads, and eventually step into a lead role myself helping others begin their own desert adventures has meant the world to me. What a journey it’s been. From a humbled student to supporter to leader, every step shaped by the incredible people in this amazing club. As for the club and the trip leads (to many to mention but i will call out @Gaurav, @Frederic and @Srikumar) as you guys have supported me and nurtured me and been the most patient of Owners/Crew that anyone could have wished for. The Club also has many other leads who have helped me become what i hope what an inspiration to others to move along this same path. Bottom line is that Carnity is exceptional in all aspects of what it sets out to achieve, moreover, it fits nicely into my mindset of a structured process driven approach to off roading that nurtures a remarkable safety culture that is outstanding and a pleasure to be a part of. Thank you to all the Carnity Trip leads both experienced and up and coming you all make the club what it is. Nothing else to say really except i will miss you all and i hope that if i am ever in Dubai i may get a hired Jeep and may if allowed join a drive as a flying sweep Heres hoping See you all somewhere someday

thanks and appreciated

Thanks @Mahesh_ it has been a pleasure watching you learn and improve into the awesome off-roader that you have become. For sure will keep in touch and may even rent a jeep next time I am in Dubai and join a drive 😜

Thanks @Frans M appreciate the kind words enjoy your journey with Carnity it hads been a pleasure watching you grow within the club
