    Thanks Saif for posting this drive for us. And thanks Joe for an awesome drive. The increasingly higher dunes and side slopping was nowhere close to the relaxed newbee drive you wanted. Our small convoy of 7 cars moved at a decent pace with just a few minor hiccups. We managed to cover quite a bit of distance before bailing out while we still had sun light. The grin on everyones’ face while inflating spoke volumes of Joe’s awesome lead. Shahid and Haytham drove like rockstars and were unstopable.

    Shahid – loved your rig man. Cannot believe that you are just 5 drives old in this sport.
    Nidun – You drove really well. Be aware of your surroundings so you don’t have minor incidents during second attempts.
    Jatin – Also drove really well. And always willing to listen and learn.
    Ibrahim – Started of with apprehension but got into the flow as the drive moved along. Doing a drive or two solo without family might do wonders for your confidence my friend.
    Haytham – Total brute power man in that RAM. You controlled the LWB like a baby maneuvering the dunes effortlessly.

    Thanks all. Drive safe guys. Untl next time…

    Thanks Zarir… I’m just 5 drives old in this sport…. Still learning how to drive in a convoy… Will definitely get better when people like you are around :thanks:
