Yo yo. Excited to drive. But a small request: to finish by 7 to have time at hand before going to bed 😀

But a small request: to finish by 7 to have time at hand before going to bed ?Hi trq, we always aim to finish the drives on time however incidents like popouts and multiple recoveries or a broken down car etc towards the end of the drive usually delays it.
Rest assured the drives will be completed on time.
C u on friday :drive:

Missing the drives with you petrol heads and even your faces :)) but due to all sorts of commitments it’s just not feasible atm. Having successfully ignored all of jatins advice I’m using the time to get some pricey goodness done to the dirty old land cruiser which should help with the fun in the new season. Much looking forward to this. See you all in the sand

Thank you for a super newbie drive Joe, it was nice and smooth as always
This was a very interesting :drive: lead by Joe, a fairly long convoy supported by, @Akawel, @Francis, @Ahmad Pervez and myself.
Everybody did really well as there were just a few second attempts in the convoy … and few interesting recoveries within the support team :-$
It was a good drive and it was nice to see you Joe!
:thanks: to you all!
A quick summary on our fewbies drive with Joe and Ahmad.
It was a greet drive indeed, with very homogeneous skills between the members.
After a slow start to gather the convoy, Joe took the lead to nice and soft dunes, in a good speed. All drivers performed very well and we could go a good distance during the day.
A small pop-out for Ahmad did not even slowed down the convoy as it was fixed by Sebastien and Francis in no time. Well done folks. :thanks:Thanks to all members for your good driving and spirit this day. It made the sweep job easy for Sebastien, Francis and myself. We could even enjoy a few ridges at the back, keeping an eye on the convoy. 😀
See you all next week for more fun in the sand.
much fun was the drive thanks everyone for the support here are some videos for the drive, not professional shots but much interesting 😀 😀 😀
