Thanks @Ale Vallecchi, it was a wonderful drive today. Always good to discover a new area and learn new skills. Made it safely back to Dubai with totally normal temps and no alignment issues.

Congratulations @ChrisW well deserved

Awesome news, well done @Sam Selim

Thanks @Ale Vallecchi for a great morning drive, making the most of the reduced convoy! The mini leaders lead session was truely appreciated. Young @Nikki1007 had a good masterclass as well, a drive that he will.remember for a long time.

@Ale Vallecchi looking forward to this one, has been too since I drove with you and done a Newbie. See you tomorrow!

Congratulations @CY Bong well done and well deserved 👏

Hi boys, hit thick fog as I crossed into AD. Allow extra time to get to the meeting point.

Short and fast convoy, the poor dunes and bowls are going to suffer!

Hi for my 2 cents worth. After every drive, turn off radio/music once on asphalt, build speed slowly to listen for any new noises. Wiggle the steering and also use speed bumps to your advantage. I generally half the recommended service intervals for all service items. Including transmission and diff fluids. When the car is up on the ramp at the workshop, I walk through the underside of the car with the mechanic and check for any issues. On the pajero check status of all suspension bushes, engine and transmission mounts, steering rack, shocks and springs. All of these have needed some maintenance on mine over the last 2 years. Wheel alignment every 1 to 2 months depending on driving, or when something feels out. Wash on a regular basis but full underbody was every 6 months or so, unless have been in a muddy area. Compressed air in the engine bay. Keep air filter clean and change every service.

Enjoy the Salamat madness! It is a very special place, sorry I could not make this one!

Congratulations @Hani crest king, about time mate. Have enjoyed all the drives we have had together, especially the early ones as Newbies! See you again in the sand soon.

Have a blast boys! We were close to this area last weekend. Dunes are amazing but the sand was like powder in places. Low pressures and good safe momentum will be called for.

Flip.have a work event on Wed this week. But will have to join other installments of the coffee club!

@Asif Hussain, will be awesome if you can make it. On day 2 (Sunday) teams start between 09h00 and 10h30 with around 50 to 60km of driving. Finish time terrain and stucks dependent.

Great news, well deserved
