Hi Davie, sorry, I had dropped out earlier today. Can't make it tomorrow.

That's a great start into 2024! Really looking forward to this and many thanks for the congrats! 😁

I wish all of you a happy new year and a great 2024! Looking forward to be part of the team!

HI guys, unfortunately I need to drop out. Some emergency I need to attend right in time for New Year   But let me use the opportunity to wish all of you an amazing start into 2024 and a great new year! 

All the best

I will be posting the convoy order in the afternoon. Request you all to check your calendars and exit if you have any other plans late in the day or tomorrow so that you don't have to leave the drive after the convoy order is prepared or be a no-show. 

Thank you

I am in

Oh......Should I exit from Pink Floyd event to move up the WL? No!

Guru @Gaurav, Sonic is music trip, social evening and this Nahel is Dopamine and Adrenalin trip... I could not get my spot for Nahel drive coz I allegedly signed up for the Sonic drive!  Hoping I will move up the WL if someone exits, but do not want Sonic drive come otw... pls jettison them if ok, Thank you. 

same thing here 🤣 even tried lighting drop out of the music trip to drop in again but wasn't fast enough. Will need to spend more time watching my kids type messages on their iPhones to become even faster 🤪

Can’t join, still no feeling well. Have a great time! All the best!

Sorry guys, got sick and need to drop out. Have a great drive!

confirmed

Hi @Gaurav could you share the BBQ site? Thinking of dropping my camping gear and then join the drive. Looking forward to the event!

I choose 4H Auto because I did not know what Part Time 4x4 was at the beginning just like you and auto (presumably like in any camera) takes care of most stuff. But later on when I learnt what Part Time 4x4 was, then too continued with 4H Auto because it just worked flawlessly for my use case scenario.

Outing myself as a fan of 4H part on sand. Started with 4H high as recommended and preferred 4H part as soon as I tried it. I do believe I have more control of the car taking away a yet another system that does stuff for me. Prefer the driving characteristics and direct control on sand with the 50:50 ratio being fixed. Didn't experience the digging down to the extent that I would say it makes a difference @Benjamin. But that could just be different preferences. Maybe the same reason I am into the oversized tires. Got used to it to the extend of loving it. Trying out the different modes I think is a way to learn more about your car and yourself as a driver. Just don't do 4h part on solid surface.

Thanks @Bjoern and sound about the right thing to do! Think I’d die if I did two drives consecutively! Either through tiredness or the wife killing me 😂😂

Just checked with my wife. Indeed also in my case it would have been either or 🤣

@Hisham Masaad I was really happy to be added to the drive but I have to pass. I am exhausted. Today's drive with @Asif Hussain was amazing but with all the travel I currently do as much as I love driving with you guys, I think a pausing a day is a good decision.

@Mark B if you are not added back, pretend you are me

Sure, if you have me 😁

Hi, anyone going for camping at the meeting point? Weather should be Okish ... at least much better than when @Gok Krish and I camped on last weeks Razeen drive.

Having a dead battery. Might not be able to make it.

Got a roof top tent on my trailer. Howling Moon, quite nice. They are pretty well known for their quality. My family and I enjoy sleeping there. Quite comfy we don't worry so much about any wildlife crawling into the tent.

But it is on an offroad trailer for overlanding as all the other stuff that would make the jeep heavy like fridge, batteries kitchen, water... but all designed for a family of 5 overlanding.

If you look for a one person solution that is amazingly comfortable try the stretcher tent from Oztrail. Got one, really easy to set up and really comfortable.

You can check both out if you want to.
