Hi, many thanks to all for the really enjoyable first drive in the desert, and especially the guidance, support and advice from Matt and Baher when I got bogged down from time to time. My friend Edmund (gold Pajero) and I had a really good time, and hope to join again soon. Cheers, Mike
Great drive yesterday! Thank you Joe for leading and Dennis for sweeping, and everyone who was part of the fewbee convoy!
Challenging drive :drive: yesterday with the intermediate convoy, led by Duncan, and swept by Simon.
We had 2 pop-outs (including my Jeep the first time :ymparty: and our lead Marshal Duncan’s Jeep), we needed to change a tire on an FJ because of a screw in it. Few stucks and recoveries (OK, a bit more than just a few ๐ ), a power loss on an FJ … but immense fun inbetween.
Thanks to Francis’ complete recovery shop on his F150 :thanks: and for all members who supported me and other members who faced problems. :thanks:
As we said, sometimes you get a handful of challenges along the way, while other times it is just plain sailing.
