Congrats !!!

@Gaurav will drop out finally.  Thought would fell better by now, but still fighting off a flu unfortunately.

@Frederic , I apologize but I need to remove myself from the drive as a family issue has come up.  Hope to join you on the next one

Agree, one can enjoy every type of terrain, we had long stretches of radio silence which was in a way quite relaxing - just driving and not doing much, unfortunately there was not much to do as well. 

was there a typo in your post I your previous post ? I was responding to you saying it was NOT nice to drive in different types of terrain.

I made a typo 😁.  Meant to say it was nice….

I could totally disregard the second part for next time. The first part was quite good though, no?

Yes first part was good, especially the start.   For the last part yes agreed, could skip, but for me, it was ok to have a more of a relaxing drive to end it.

Thanks for the drive @Looper.  It was not nice to explore all the different terrains all in one drive

@looper, going to have to drop off unfortunately.  Moving Villa mid week and still too many loose ends.  Catch you  for the next ride. Sorry for late response

Thank you @Looperfor organizing , leading and guidance through the drive. 

@Rob Sand @Imran Asghar thank your for your calm and composed approach through the stucks and refusals.  Your support was very much appreciated by all

Thanks @Looperfor organizing the drive and for taking the decision to extend the drive a bit through Little Sweihan.  It was rewarding to see the smooth sand  after quite a bit of vegetation.  @Cha@Fabien Monleau, than-you for the support and good to meet you for both for first time.  Un plaisir de te connaître 

Congratulations!! It always feels reassuring when your in our convey supporting us.  Well deserved 

 Thank you for the ride @JeromeFJ and for the coaching.    It was an area I’ve not been before , nice scenery near the mountains, and good practice in the bowls and with the side sloping.

@DP1011 no pass from the family for the  Sunday  drive 😔.  Hope you enjoyed it and hope you found your airpod 😆

It was lots of fun !  thank-you @Davie Chase .  Should be posting some pics later this week

Congratulations @Looper ! 

Congrats @Davie Chase 👍👍

@Davie Chase will have to pull out of this one.  Family commitments calling.  Hope to see you soon on the next one

Congrats @premindra rajaram !

Unfortunately will have to drop off this drive.  Enjoy and see you next time

It was a really fun drive @Looper.  Really enjoyed it.  Thank-you !  Looking forward to being there again  with you for your 5th drive as lead.  

 @premindra rajaram @george charbel@Rk ram it was nice seeing you and driving with you again.

Also good to meet some new faces.  
 

Thank-you @Senthil Kumar, you made it very comfortable following you.  
 

Thank-you for the sweep @Bashar Beasha and thank @Gauravfor the support.

Hope to see you soon again

Thank you @Looperfor the lead and fun drive.  @Kailasand @Islam Soliman@DP1011 thank you for the support and guidance.  
 

During our break, a conversation started amongst the Jeep owners on the risk of rear bumpers falling off and the location of the stock licence plate not being ideal for dessert drives.  Also heard there was separate conversations going on around engine failures…

As we set off, we must have manifested all that negative talk 😁.  Lost my licence plate on a refusal going up and down a dune (thank you @DP1011 for recovering and holding on to it) and almost had my rear bumper come off !  Then, shortly after Islam’s engine wouldn’t start.  All ended well with Islam’s car making it to the exit point and I managed to secure my plate back on the bracket before heading back home.
 

Should have listened to the wise words of @Varun Mehndiratta on moving the plate location and getting that the bumper trimmed 😁.  
 

It was fun driving with you all of you and hope to see you on the next one

Thank-you @Looper for leading this drive and @GauravSoni for your support and guidance.  You both helped me learn a bit more about driving in the dunes and capabilities of my car.  It was a nice small convoy and it allowed me to clock in a lot more practice.  Really enjoyed the drive and looking forward to join more of your drives with you in the lead Looper.  

@premindra rajaram @Gurcharan Mehta.  It was great driving with you.  Have a good rest of the weekend

Tried to load a couple of pictures but it seems to only be loading dark blank pictures and can’t delete them…

@Frederic yes, confirming 

@JeromeFJ, I’ve removed myself from the drive earlier this morning.  Can’t make it unfortunately.  Enjoy and hope to see you on the next one

@Varun Mehndiratta need to pull out of the drive unfortunately.  Wife  registered for a course and need to stay back with the kids.  Enjoy the ride and hopefully see you for the next one

Thank you !  Looking forward to the Fewbie drives

Thank you for the fun drive @Frederic @Davie Chase @Rizwanm2.  Nice meeting many of you for the first time and looking forward to the next ride
