Apologise, as my aircon has stopped working, we’re going to have to pull out.

Apologies all, a minor family issue forces me to pull out of today’s drive.

Apologies Doc, we have to do from this one. Enjoy all!

Sadly I will be unable to attend as I will be out of the country. I only met Guarav a few times, but what a guy. I bought an uplifted Jeep when I first arrived because I ‘fancied trying off roading’. To say I was clueless is an understatement. Guarav (recognising my complete lack of knowledge): ‘So that’s your compressor to inflate your tyres’ Me: ‘Right. So in case I get a flat. Got it’ Guarav: ‘No. Because we let air out when we off-road as it gives more traction’ Me: ‘What? 😳’ Such a patient and knowledgeable man. Didn’t laugh, mock, or say anything to discourage me. Talked me through the basics and here we are, top driver in Carnity! (I’m so kidding!) What he taught me in that initial, and subsequent drives I hold dear. I often find myself thinking ‘What did Guarav say again’. Solid foundations for the sport delivered perfectly. Whilst not there physically, I shall be thinking of everyone and ‘Big G’ on Sunday. Stay safe everyone and I look forward to the next adventure.

Hi all and @Ale Vallecchi Apologies for the short notice, we will have to drop out of this drive. We look forward to the next one.

Hi @Ishak Unfortunately, I will have to drop out of the drive this evening (my wife isn't as robust as I!) due to the 'imminent danger' of weather and the alerts that we've had this afternoon over this way. My apologies, I was very much looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info Doc. Sadly I’ll have to drop out of the drive. My dogs are very twitchy at all the noise - like fireworks - and we can’t leave them on their own at the moment. .

Afternoon all. Just reaching out to confirm the drive is still going ahead tonight. There is a lot of official advice around the current tensions. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/united-arab-emirates

Apologies, have to drop off this one. Enjoy everyone!

Hi @Doc. Apologies, going to have to drop as I’m coming down with something and feel most unwell. Till next time!

Hi Doc, Along with previous comments, another fantastically enjoyable and educational drive. Very much appreciated the very warm welcome and kind words. 🙇🏽‍♂️ Until next time!!!!

Apologies, I looked at the wrong drive! (It’s been a long first week back!)

Hi @Ale Vallecchi, I RSVP’d earlyyesterday evening with 6 down ans going. I’m sure was added. Have I suffered fatfingeritis again?

My humblest apologies, I'm going to have to drop out of this fantastic looking drive. Till next time.

Apologies @M.Seidam I'll have to drop. Went for the re-registration and inspection of the Jeep and it needs work which they're still doing. Sincere apologies..

Just heard back and unfortunately I won't get the beast back in time and will have to drop out.

Hi @Emanuel Waiting to hear if I'll get the car back in time as we speak. Needed a new drive shaft amongst a couple of other things to the tune of around £2000 😭 Will update as soon as I know.

No worries. Thought I'd try to sneak in!

Hi all, I was just curious if anyone had visited Moreeb Dune and/ or the International Festival. Havent seen anything on the forums about it. If so, any thoughts? Realise it's a bit of a trek, but worth visiting either the dune or the festival? Many thanks for any insight.

Hi all, Is the Absolute Newbies for those who aren't yet members of the club but are considering joining?

Good afternoon all, Unfortunately, I too will have to drop out of this drive. Intending to pop to the garage to fill up for tonight, I discovered a rather unnerving amount of oil sitting on my driveway which, though not mechanically minded, I'm pretty sure should be in the car. Fingers crossed it's just a tube/ hose.

Apologies, sadly have to drop from this one. 😭

Apologies, much as we love the Docs drives, something else has been arranged. @khalid @Abdullah A.@sivaprasadgopalakrishnan @Ana @Mike M.

We’re now back on?

Apologies, apparently I have ‘things to do’. 😏
