Carry water 2ltr/person.Hey Guys..Sorry I cud’nt make it. Had a small accident with a bus because of the crazy road works ๐ . I wud blame this on the road works coz without prior warning, they closed three of the fast lanes with pylons. A bus had rammed into my car and another taxi. The fault was on the bus driver.
Luckily, Shahzad was there to lead and continue this episode of CWR and I’m sure you guys enjoyed being a part of it. Thank you Shahzad soo much :thanks:
sorry for ur accident. The rear sidd of fj looks bad. Today’s trip was pure intermediate. Shahzad returned with his own style of technical driving. Welcome back shahzad after one month. On the way back i went IN again. And had some relaxing drive.
Roshan, hope ur czr will b fixed soon and u will b there next friday.Who says dune bashing is dangerous?
Here’s a prime example of how something as simple and routine as driving down a straight road in perfect visibility can get you into trouble.
Bus drivers are always reckless and never care a fart for anyone’s safety (including their own!!).
Anyways, glad to here the Coffeemobile is fine (minor damage, though some bodywork required) and the Coffeeman is set to serve another few coffees yet.
Many thanks to Shahzaad & his SRT500. Am sad that I had to miss this drive… Shahzaad is always fun to follow.
And Humsafar – dude, please tell me you didn’t go back in alone…
Actually I was alone,
dont start, first listen.
I was too lazy to take out the compressor and fill the air, and I was low on air, so I decided to tack a sand route till Petrol station instead of tarmac. so I did venture some small dunes, but always kept the road in sight.
today’s drive was very short, I still had a little appetite for sand ๐ , I found dunes relaxing and took the chance though very carefuly with 0 risk.
somebody told me Shazad’s ride is a 5.2 litre muscle. i wonder that is why he is able to cliemb high with such am ease. I thought it was 4.0 litre. I know it is driver, but car does count a lot.
