@Looper I have taken the liberty to add myself to the drive as there seems to be a few slots available and the time to finalize your convoy is drawing nearer.
But I’m tentative as yet as not aware of family commitments and can confirm by evening.
Is this ok to do? Please advice. Hope I will not be a disappointment if I cancel back by evening. Please advice if this is acceptable. 

Great drive with a wonderful trail selected. I remember a previous drive also with @Hisham Masaadon this same track. The rolling dunes towards the latter half were fantastic.

Thanks a lot @Emanuel, @Benjamin for the SL and Centre.

@Issam Atra, your handling of the Cherokee was fantastic to watch powering up the climbs.

The weather is still quite hot as the day progressed. My vehicle did not overheat but was venting out coolant from the reservoir vent (just as it is supposed to be), but was kept continuously monitoring the temperature on my ODBII display towards the end. Thankfully it was all good.

See you all soon.

@Looper brother I have to tender my apologies. Just came from a Saturday drive led by Hisham Massad and faced overheating issues at the last part of the drive. Thanks fully reached my mech directly without issues but the mechanic has held the car, so have no options in hand. 
Again, sincere apologies. May you all have a great and safe drive. 🙏🏻

As I had doubted, I didn’t finish work on time.
In the meantime hope you will have a fantastic fun filled and more importantly a safe drive. 
God willing, I will join you some other time. 
 

@Hisham Masaad Greetings brother.
I have kept myself to waitlist instead of going because I’m not very sure if I can make it tomorrow on time at the meeting point.
In case I do not turn up on time then please I would like to tender my apologies from now itself as I won’t be able to know till the last moment.
Hope this can be acceptable. 

Congratulations @Tharun Kumar V, brother on levelling up. Enjoy your new level buddy, Will look forward to seeing you again.

@Varun Mehndiratta, 

Wonderful drive and route taken! There was quite a bit of fauna seen along the way. Qudra always has breathtaking scenery.

How you managed with the sand and the wind in your vehicle amazed me dear. It was quite rough at times.

I perfectly will take note and improve on my radio communication. Thanks for the advice. And will immediately get the tires replaced. Will no longer push my luck now. That scare was enough.

 @Frans M , @Ishak, great in the SL roles.

 @Tharun Kumar V Your support in the centre was rock solid bro, and congrats for the new level up. Thanks for noticing the drop in pressure.

 @Ahmad Nerat , You managing the LC the in the tight terrain was amazing.

 @Mark B , @Pranjal Varsani1, @Gary F, @Rajat Verma, @rohit kumar - The big boys with mean machines, amazing convoy, it was a pleasure seeing you all.

 @Karthik Raptor commendable sweep, we all were assured having you dear.

Whew!, it was a fastest finger first literally the way @Varun Mehndiratta 's drives gets totally booked out with ample people left in the dreaded WL column to make a full strength additional convoy. 😁

Enjoy guys, as it seems far fetched to get a 6-7 WL confirmed; but, I'll keep my hopes high and await.

Perfect climate and a great convoy. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning. 

Many thanks to @Varun Mehndiratta, @Mike M., @Tharun Kumar V and @Zubair for their support all throughout.

Have attached a .gpx route for those that may be interested in the route taken.

Hope to see you all soon.

Yes. I would be glad to join. Count me in any extension please. I’ll Surely keep a watch out on your confirmations. Cant wait to attain Nirvana on a crest! 😆

@Varun Mehndiratta Bro are those on waitlisted going to be confirmed? Basically I’m on waitlist so is the convoy getting extended? Please advice. 
regards

Apologies. Would not be able to make it. Have removed myself. Enjoy guys. Have fun. 

@Islam Soliman, @James Lovell wonderful drive indeed, excellent track mix chosen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. @Davie Chase, @Fabien Monleau thanks for covering the convoy so amazingly well.

This was a flowing drive. All were driving nice and fluidly. Will look forward to seeing you all again.

@Islam Soliman appreciate the acceptance to join quite late yesterday. 
Thanks once more to all to make this a memorable morning.

This was a very pleasant drive, the weather was fantastic too. Thanks a lot @Brette for the same. @essam ibrahim ya shaikh, wallahi when years will have passed, I will hope to have enthusiasm and spirit like you show. Keep it going. Amazing. 👍

@Islam Soliman Salaams and Greetings, I have an event tonight and trying to consider to be able to make it in morning.
Will be grateful if you can push me back to waitlist and give anyone wanting to join first till closure of this group.
I will check back late night, if no one has joined and if you have added me back in list then ill come over. Hope this may be fine and acceptable.
 

Aye Aye Captain.
Looking forward to it.

A wonderful morning, perfect weather and even perfect convoy. Thanks @Hisham Masaad for a memorable and an amazingly excellent route. The weaving drive just before we encountered the wheel issue was amazing. 

@Mohamad Anwer Mashallah, your wonderful vehicle powering up the very top of the dunes was a sight to see. As much exciting it would have been for you going up, exactly the same it was for us seeing your rocket ship coast up the top.

It was amazing for me to see each of you without exception so competently take on the climbs. @TT_Dubai it was reassuring to see you at the sweep.

@Brette @Pacific @Sunil Mathew @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler
Thank you brothers for a wonderful morning drive. Appreciate your efforts throughout.

Apologies to the rest of the convoy for heading out earlier in the very end without a goodbye to all as needed to rush for a bio-call.
My radio battery was totally gone so couldn't announce it, especially to @Emanuel who was just ahead of me in the drive.
See you all soon. Cheers!

@BenjaminRelax. Just as @DP1011 , Deepak wrangler messaged, all details will come up shortly from @Brette.
Location pin, Convoy numbering and Radio Freq.
Just prepare to reach and have a wonderful and safe experience with the fab Carnity teams.

See you soon.

Thanks a million guys for great drive.
To all in the group, thanks a million for your patience during the repeated refusals from the start.
@marksRightly pointed out a faulty tyre pressure in the very beginning, by then I was jittery, very conscious and nervous till the end which would ensure the vehicle would just not power up any considerable slope because I would chicken out before the car I felt or maybe the 2008 Pajero is ageing up on compression.

@Sanjay Malik, @Shaaz Sha @GauravSoni thanks for your supporting words.

@George Joubranappreciate you looking out and maintaining distance as I would be failing climbs frequently.

A great takeaway was there was that all stucks and refusals were very clearly and precisely guided leading to not a single shovel or tow rope used throughout the drive.

Love you guys! Cheers! 

100% confirmed In Sha’ Allah 

Hi @Wrangeld. I’m adding myself to waitlist. I understand it’s very late but since there was no one in waitlist, I’ll check back in morning here and if I’m accepted I’ll quickly reach on time. 

@M.SeidamMy appreciation for this weekday drive. This is an apt getaway between the sands while the wifey thinks Im working somewhere in a pile of A4 papers. 🤣

@Vanessa8580@GregoryThanks for tips on extending the gear shift longer on my Pajero. Will be trying out the tiptronic next time around.

Thanks all for joining to make this a wonderful drive today. Will look forward to these mid week drives if we can.

Hi @M.Seidam
Do consider if I may be able to join in tomorrow.

Thank you all for the encouragement. @Hisham Masaad @munkybizness @Davie Chase @Vaibhav @Shaaz Sha @Looper @Islam Soliman @Gaurav

Will strive to live up to all your superb standards.
