Thank you so much!

Thank you @Frederic for a steep learning curve! No pun intended Great to finally meet the author behind some of my favourite articles on here. Thank you to the whole convoy for your support and patience, especially @Looper, sorry for having you unwind your winch for nothing! Speaking of, @Asif Hussain, thank you for coaching me out of that stuck- I would never in a million years have thought that was self-recoverable!

Thank you @Islam Soliman for my GO TECH baptism! And thank you for the recommendation @Davie Chase, my car is now in Stewart's capable hands, and I made sure to let him know the referal came from you.

Thank you so much @Looper! I think we also used attached an ARB nozzle/fitting to my valve stem to make it reachable for the compressor chuck?

@Loopercould I ask you please, does your deflator (I think ARB601) come with the valve fitting we used on my tyres? Or would I need to buy this seperately?

Thank you @varunmehndiratta for this drive! I was impressed how you were able to completely change plans last minute and still take us on a good, fun route. And thank you to @Looper for making it possible for me with the surprises presented by my new wheels, and for the tug on the crest.

Since reading this it is going to be impossible to focus at work today! My body will be at my desk but my mind is in the dunes

Thank you for your generous reassurance @Felix Obst, it makes me a little less afraid to get back out there next weekend Indeed, I have pored over @Rob S post on tyres especially for Prados and found it very helpful indeed (link below)! I have messaged a few garages requesting quotes, I would love to have them changed by Sunday.

Thank you! I'll use the savings on that jack

Thank you @Islam Soliman and team for your support and patience in what was a somewhat frustrating drive for me- three popouts (after another only the day before)! On the good advice of my teammates I have requested quotes for smaller rims and am also looking at bead grip for good measure. Thank you all for the incredibly efficient fixes. My friend remarked on the comraderie and team spirit and I was proud to tell him that this is the culture of this club. Thanks @Beide Worku for the tip on that jack, it is at the top of my Christmas letter to Santa. Good to see you back on track after Saturday!

Thank you @JeromeFJ for another wonderful drive. This was the toughest in my new car so far, as I am new to the level and had previously been third in the last couple of drives. This time, once I learned to leave a bit more space between myself and the car in front, I had more options over controlling my momentum. My thanks again to my team mates for the tugs. As for my pop out, I had a further THREE on another drive yesterday! Looks like 18" rims on AT tyres are not going to cut it for my current skill level, so I'm going smaller and looking at bead grip too. Thank you to the team for a pit-stop level fix! Just want to give a shoutout to @Gerrit Bus- you calmly and you skilfully avoided anyone getting hurt in a split second situation caused by the other convoy cutting off your dune climb. My heart was in my throat. It reminds me that I really was lucky to start with this club because our leaders prioritise skill and safety while having fun, rather than silly stunts and showboating. Thanks again all.

Thanks! Aiming to finish by approx 10.30?

Thanks for joining me! May I confirm the start time?
