Ignacio Quindós

@Frederic Congrats for your fantastic idea, and big big thank you for organizing such an interesting event. I hope there will be more to come in the future. Cheers!!

@Hisham Masaad really sad news. You are one of our favorite leaders and we’ve always enjoyed your drives very much. No need to say that you will be missed deeply, just look at the amount of messages…

We hope everything is ok in your life, and we wish you all the best for your future.

Ignacio and Ignacio Jr.

Awesome idea Frederic. Thanks for organizing! I’m still getting goose bumps every time I listen to it.

Guys - I have some news to share and Those who will be making it to this drive, Please carry your coffee mugs , As I am will be treating the convoy with Beverages or so

As I believe in not adding further to trash, would prefer to avoid disposables! ( I will be carrying trash bags though,  in case someone wants to collect the trash we find during the drive 😂)

Black coffee guys pls react "totally Agree"

Coffee with milk and sugar "well done

Lemonade : "Thank you"
 

 

Amazing Deepak!! Thanks!

Hi Looper. Sorry but I woke up late and I cannot make it on time. Have a nice ride!

I am not going to make this one my usual "Looper Drive" where my objective is to maintain high speeds and reach the end point in a hurry and try to beat the time records, I maintain in my spreadsheet. This drive is going to be a deliberate choice not to give an adrenaline rush, there is no rush hour chaos. Instead, it will attempt to be a dopamine rush, a drive that aims to awaken a sense of joy and contentment, not by racing against time, but by savoring every moment along the way.

I will compare the objectives of the drive akin to Tai Chi. Tai Chi, known for its graceful and effortless movements, teaches us the value of balance and harmony. Similarly, this drive is a chance to harmonize with the desert, to flow with the curves and bends like a serene dance. Your accelerator becomes your brush, and the dune is your canvas—painting strokes of mindfulness and peace.

Join for a Dopamine Drive; a mindful expedition that promises not just to take you places, but to bring you closer to yourself.

I declare you my new Yogi.

@Cristian & @Ignacio Quindós we will have a drive as long as we have a minimum of 3-member convoy.

I hope someone will return from leave and join us. It’s been more than 2 months for me without a drive…

@Ignacio Quindós, where do I find the gallery please? ☺️

Right top corner. Off-road club/gallery. Then you look for the drive and bingo…

Thank you @Hisham Masaadfor such an amazing drive today. I think everybody enjoyed it as much as I did.  As I told you at the end, I cannot imagine what an IM drive could be with you leading it 😁😁😁 The second part of the drive was unknown to me, beautiful area with virgin sand at times…

Congrats to all fewbie drivers for coping so well with the challenges today. Keep it up! Not only drove amazingly well, but also brought coffee, biscuits and dates!! Extra point for you guys…

Big shout out to @Pacificfor reaching your 100th drive today!!

Thanks to @DP1011 @Mohamad Anwer and @Benjaminfor your support. 
 

See you again soon!!

Dedicated to @Pacific for his 100th!

Rest of the pictures in the gallery. @Marketa Dobesova, @Pavel Pashkovskiy and @Krishna R you have some you might like. Cheers!

Thank you @M.Seidam for a very interesting drive without moon! I also had the opportunity to use my winch and practice a tricky recovery in coordination with @Zulfikhar Naiyar

Thank you for the detailed report as well. It’s always a pleasure attending your drives.

Cheers!

Thanks @Jerome for a fantastic drive full of learning opportunities. The area speaks by itself, one of my favorites. It’s a pity that it’s so far away from my place and requires an extra effort to get there on time (woke up at 4am 😅). 

It was my first IM drive and I enjoyed from start to end, including the tricky technical area in the middle. 

Thanks to @Jaro Tuzinsky for the second lead and @Zed @Fabien Monleauand @Chris Wing for the support.

@Bjoern hope you have fixed your fuel gauge by now. @Krishna R and @Imran Kashif was nice to see you again. 

Enjoy life guys!

If plan A doesn’t work, go for B👏🏻👏🏻

Impressive dunes…

Rest of the pictures in the gallery. 

Beautiful views today following the lead of @M.Seidam. An impressive set of experienced drivers, with 4 out of 7 being either leaders or support team members. Luckily I drove behind @DP1011 who showed me the way…

Many thanks to @M.Seidamfor organizing a drive on a weekday. It gave me the opportunity to unwind a little before my busy weekend. 
 

@Looper and @Ale Vallecchi it’s always a pleasure to have you in the convoy. @Marketa Dobesova @Stumpy Paj it was nice to drive with you again. 
 

The doctor under the spell of Sauron’s eye… 

An awesome sunset today…

Rest of the images in the gallery. Have a lovely weekend!!

Big thank you to @Davie Chase for an amazing drive experience! The area was beautiful to explore. I hope to drive with you again very soon. 

Thanks also to @Marketa Dobesovaand @Imteeazfor your support throughout the drive!

@Juan R was really nice to meet you. Get your fewbie plus upgrade quick 😜…

A little taste of what we saw. Rest of the images in the gallery. Have a great week!

Thank you @Looper for organizing this drive and @Davie Chase for your fantastic lead.  It was an amazing learning experience, specially on the technical dunes. I’m sure you are exhausted after this drive today. There were areas with very little margin for error, and yet you managed to find a way out. So congratulations on your new role. Hope to drive with you again very soon.

@Simon D and @Pacific thanks for your support throughout the drive. It’s very nice knowing that no matter what happens, you’ll find a solution. 

Guys it was really nice driving with you today, and I hope to see you all again soon!

Davie in action. Rest of the pictures in the gallery.

Cheers!

Thanks @M.Seidam for organizing a drive on a weekday. Lately I have worked every weekend, and I’ve been unable to join any drive (still looking for a chance to get my first intermediate). A nice mix of terrains, starting with daylight and finishing at night so, great combination!

Congrats @Ahmad Nerat on your first FB+. Keep it up!

@Fabien Monleau, @Mohammad Anwar, @Sunil Mathew and @Hisham Masaad nice to see you all again.

I will post some pictures in the gallery. This one for @Hisham Masaad 

Have a nice weekend!

Hi @JeromeFJ. Unfortunately my car is at the workshop and they just told me it won’t be ready for tomorrow, so I’ll remove myself from the drive. Have a nice one!

I'm in for tomorrow @JeromeFJ, see you at 6:15AM!

No problem @Ignacio Quindós. Currently there is no waitlist behind you. You can let me know tomorrow end of the day

Thanks @JeromeFJ I will. 

Hi @JeromeFJ thanks for asking. I depend on my roster. If no duty is assigned, I’ll be more than happy to join the drive. I’ll know it by tomorrow at 1800 max…

Thanks @Varun Mehndiratta 

Hope to drive with you soon
