    Dear Offroaders,

    thank you very much for the great newbie drive yesterday. Special thanks to the seniors, @Saif, @Sash716, @Asim, and last but not least @Sebastien. It was a very fun learning experience, where I am sure that all the newbies felt safe and in good hands, as I did. Thank you for your patience and support which are very motivating to become a better driver and a better person.

    See you at the next :drive: as a co-pilot (or as a pilot if I manage to negotiate that ;;) ;;) ;;) )
