Thanks, Looper, for the great drive—as always. Hope to catch you on the next one. It was nice meeting some new faces this time, like Nicolo and Sam. And to the rest of you I’ve driven with before—great job out there. Appreciate the good company. Have a great weekend, and see you on the next drive.

@Looper is the timing mentioned are correct? When: 08 June 2025, Sunday Meeting time: 6:00 AM - Sharp (we will start the drive at 7:00 so be present earlier to that time)

I’ve had recurring issues with the rear bumper. The first time, it started scooping sand and the lower section—where the number plate is mounted—got bent and misaligned. This caused the rear sensors to malfunction and constantly beep. I took it to a workshop to have the bend straightened out. However, even after that fix, the bumper kept coming out of its locks. More recently, it detached completely during a drive. To manage temporarily, I tied it with zip ties. Eventually, I went back to the workshop and asked them to trim off the part that was extending out which was scooping the sand. They also removed the number plate holder and mounted the plate directly onto the bumper. Now, about an inch of the plate sticks out beyond the cut bumper. The current workaround is that I remove and reattach the number plate during each drive. During my vehicle renewal, I plan to switch to a smaller number plate that can be fixed permanently. As you see in the photo, the workshop did a thorough job: they loosened the entire rear bumper, trimmed both the outer extension and internal excess, refitted all the bumper locks, and added extra screws for reinforcement. The bumper now feels very sturdy and secure. I’m hopeful this has resolved the scooping issue for good. Let me know if anyone see any downsides to what I’ve done. Thanks in advance!!!

Congratulations @Ishak

The drive was absolutely fantastic — we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it! It offered a great variety of terrain, some of which was completely new to me, especially driving through it at night. There was a mix of technical challenges, sideways slides, ridge riding — in short, all the flavors of off-roading in one go. What made it even more special were the breaks and the great conversations we shared. The chit-chat along with Karak chai added such a warm touch to the whole experience. A big thanks to Luke for the spot-on guidance, and of course, hats off to our amazing lead, Doc, who orchestrated the drive beautifully from start to finish. It was also a pleasure meeting new folks and reconnecting with familiar faces. I’m definitely looking forward to more of these relaxing, stress-busting adventures in the future. See you all soon — have a great weekend

Congratulations @Luke K P

Thanks a lot Doc.

No worries. 😍

“My main challenge is getting onto the drive by 7 p.m. Whenever it’s announced, I have to keep clicking the button “Going”repeatedly before I’m finally added. Also, I mostly use 5G, but I don’t notice any difference in performance compared to a Wi-Fi network.

Hello there. Is anyone else facing this issue, or is it just me? When I try to opt for the drive by clicking “Going,” the button doesn’t respond even after 2–3 clicks. I often have to refresh the page before it works. Sometimes it successfully enrolls me for the drive, but other times it doesn’t. Also, it seems like the page only loads the initial view. I have to scroll to the bottom and manually click on the drive listing to get to the second page, which shows who has opted in, the list of participants, and download guest list options. Otherwise, it just keeps showing the first page asking me to opt in for the drive. I’m using the Safari browser on an iPhone. I’ve already reset all settings, but the issue persists. Even replying to a message or topic doesn’t always works. There is something is broken but yet to figure it out. Any thoughts???

Congratulations

Regret to pull out at the last minute, you folks have fun.

Meeting time: 7:30 AM - Sharp (Without any exceptions we start the drive at 5:45 am sharp when the sun rises) Guess that’s a typo, start the drive at 7.45 am.

Apologies, I’m down with the flu and not at my best, so I’ll have to withdraw from this drive. Wishing the best of luck to everyone participating!
