Dear @Prithvi Raj @Frederic118

First of all - Thank you for showing interest on this drive, which like you - Even I was looking forward to ! However, as the Minimum no. of cars that we aim is 3 from safety perspective and hence I am with no alternative left with no choice but to cancel this drive and perhaps plan soon for some-other theme drive making it couples drive ! 

Can I please request you to acknowledge this message- The Drive tomorrow is cancelled and I hope your other plans are executed as planned for this day .

@Rahul6157 I see you added your self to Manage tab, if intending to join, pls let me know I will move you to going. Manage tab is for support team /leads. 

@Islam Soliman  Car switch.com, was peace of mind and they were good, when I sold my previous car. 

Hello Gents ! @Kailas @Rafey Hashmi @george charbel @Lala G @Amr Aydin @Juan R @Andrei S @FERNANDO SYRIO @PAJERO petelczyc luke 

Please find below the convoy order  . RSVP IS CLOSED NOW. We will use Channel 2 : 446.031. Please be on time, with your fuel tanks filled up ! 

The gulf news fun drive is also scheduled at Tilal Sweihan and they commence the drive at 9am, there is a likely hood they might cross our planned route ( if they follow what they did in previous drive in this area  )  - Our plan - Cover as much possible by 9, so we are way ahead of their convoy of 100s of cars !  Exit either will be Sweihan or back to Fayah - Depending on how the situation permits tomorrow. 

Its going to be cold (13 degrees)  when we commence our drive just about sunrise time (7am)  !  so get your self layered up appropriately ! 

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow - on time and ready to move by 7ish ! - Please run past the NB convoy, and just at the right turn is where we will have our briefing !

This is probably the oldest surviving Valentine’s letter in the English language. It was written by Margery Brews to her fiancé John Paston in February 1477

DRIVE DESCRIPTION

14th Feb - Valentines day  also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine  is celebrated annually on February 14 . It originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine and through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the "lovebirds" of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion for couples to express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.

What better than starting the day, with your partner on this Couples only Drive. This drive is a highly likely chance to have your partner's permission renewed for a reasonable period of weekend desert drives   - thanks to you - that  your partner will be happy to start the day with you, while moving swiftly through Lisaili dunes, with a romantic view of those Hot air balloons in sight and a beautiful sunrise.

Please note : This will be strictly a on time start  and on time end - The idea is more to gather as a group, have a relaxed drive, take a break for coffee/muffins, have some photos clicked and then head back to start point to be able to exit on time.  

Dress code : Not mandatory but encouraged - Red + Black.

Congrats @Abdullah N ! well done!

Congrats @Shaun J! Well done!

CONGRATULATIONS @Simon D The lead ! - Great to have you in this journey ! See you soon my friend ! Where's the party ? 

Dear technical drive lovers ! 

Below quick drive summary : 

Thank you for joining and most importantly being on time ! Having immense experience of Murquab/Solar park, @M.Seidam as our SL was something that I couldn't have asked for more ! Thanks Doc for joining this drive and having you in convoy was very special ! 

With quiick, but detailed briefing, specific to FB level and specific to the drive terrain and plan, we started the drive about 7.30. Soon the convoy was offered with the challenges of testing their skills on maneuvering the interesting dunes of Murquab. We did encounter some vegetation which was nicely handled by the convoy. Overall, I must say it was very well done by the entire convoy. We all were well prepared for the next 4 hours of slow pace drive and it was indeed well executed. Thanks for keeping that extra one hour buffer and we exited just about 15 minutes ahead of time ( including the buffer;) ) 

The SWB guys at the front, @Ahmed Farouk @Renier Venter @Mahmut @Marek_was003 You guys did really well by your smooth movement. Specially the first 2, which was your first FB drive. @lucas amat - been long and good to see you what you do with your machine ! @Shiju Raju was a busy day for you but am sure lot of learnings from this one which you will cherish long time ! @Robk U continue to impress me with your LWB, specially in drives like this ! Am sure it was more easier today, since you had done part of this during Jingle Jungle drive :D! @Mahesh_ & @Gautam Banka - I hardly heard anything from you and well done ! Good to see you guys ! 

@essam ibrahim - I hope you enjoyed the drive and with every refusal/stuck you had a take away and more learnings ! You did well in handling the churned sand, despite those refusals you encountered! Well done sir ! 

@Imteeaz and lastly @Benjamin - Thank you for making it a relaxing lead for me, handling all those refusals with immense patience, absolute clear inputs to guys managing those refusals and helping with self recoveries ! Always pleasure to drive with you ! 

Below some interesting stats from today/s drive. ! 

See you all soon in Sand, and wishing you all a great evening and week ahead ! 

 

Hi all @M.Seidam @lucas amat @Ahmed Farouk @Renier Venter @Mahmut @Marek_was003 @Shiju Raju @Robk @Mahesh_ @Gautam Banka @essam ibrahim @Benjamin @Imteeaz

Dear @frederic demolder - considering the technical patches for tomorrow's plan, extending the convoy is not something I am keen to do, although as much as I would love to see you + all others in WL ! lets hear from current members confirmed, any change could get you in - i might see you tomorrow in that case, but for sure sooon if not tomorrow.
