  1. @M.Seidam @JeromeFJ  @topgear  @Looper

    Thank you gents for ensuring that we all had fun and came out of this drive with more experience as FBs and no damage to our cars.

    Warming up prior to hitting the technical dunes is critical for me (and maybe for some of others as well) as it gives me time to build up my confidence - thank you.

    I can only look forward to our next drive together.

    Cheers

    Well what an eventful drive! My first at sweep and I have to say first of all, respect to all the previous sweeps out there, that soft Dubai sand REALLY gets choppy by the time nine other trucks have slid, skidded and wheelspun their way across it!

    We had a nice technical, ridgy didge track through the dunes with lovely cool temperatures to keep things calm. Quite a few refusals and stucks indicate the the challenge was real but I have to say, as usual the teamwork was tip top and we all swung in behind the fellows in need to get things moving again. We enjoyed a special 'learning event' when the mighty land whale of @Michel Van Woudenbergdecided to have a little lie down in a pocket which required managment intervention to help extricate. All good, lots of opinions voiced (thanks @Thomas Varghese) and a safe rescue was achieved.

    My thanks to @sertacfor planning an interesting course and to @Serafinofor keeping a steady hand on the tiller with a special mention to @ShereenMKrolling at number 9 in such a competent and sure footed way, I never had to worry about what was happening in front of me, I could just concentrate on picking the ruts I was going to plow through ;-)

     

    Already looking forward to the next one.

    @sertac @Warren Flaygents i believe that we all enjoyed this trip and learnt a lot from it as well.

    though we may have different opinions on how to tackle emergencies, ultimately we all came out of this trip with a 'bit' more off-road recovery knowledge.

    my minor refusal reminded me that even the mighty Y61 can get stuck - i am/was afraid to drop my tyre pressure to 12 PSI after my pop-out 2 weeks ago.

     

    @Michel Van Woudenberg mighty guts from you to bring the new beast out in the desert so shortly after getting this car handed-over to you the previous night.  i was stuck in a similar situation like you during my first drive in the Y61 - the more experienced drivers guided me out of this issue and trust me i was shitting my pants!

    having said this, i look forward to drive with all of you again - no exception.
