We will miss you in this drive
Jeep is back from the workshop., again, so time for a test 🙂
Due to a great turnout today of 18 cars and the amount of marshals we were separated into two convoys. 😀 The newbie convoy was taken care of by Joe and Baher.
The two star and above convoy was led by Zac and swept by Duncan.
We had a number of various occurrences from stucks, pop outs, damaged bumpers, sand in our eyes and potentially damaged axel. 😮
The latter meaning Zac had to hand over the reins of leading to Duncan and Walter to sweep just after leaving Super Bowl. Walter had his work cut out helping various situations in the last hour whilst the wind was howling and sand flying! :ymapplause: The drive was just so much more challenging then normal due to the visibility and wind but we all made it out!
Eventually we made it back to Badayer before sunset all looking forward t o get home and wash off that sand.Thanks again to everyone – see you guys soon. :drive:
Lesson learnt this week – bring ski goggles when it’s windy! B-)
The for the great ride, technical and fun.
The spare radio was handed over to Walter, hope it finds back to the owner … everybody was just rushing home.
It was a great drive by zac and Duncan .. Challenging as the weather was pretty bad and soft sand but after all everyone was out safe and sound
quote Asif:Am so happy to know you enjoy the Driver and hope to see you soon.
One more thing I think you mean marshal Abdallah with nickname @badboy
So much sand.
