    Oh, yess…see you guys on Gitex 🙁

    Howz the vehicle doin? Manage to fix the potty leaks ?? 😀

    She is the service now…..I did not tell you, but on saturday evening a ….lady hit my car, front of my house!!!
    I wanted to take her to the service anyway on sunday.
    Not much damage, only the bumper broken and some little cracks on the frontlight of the Disco.

    On her car all the side, door, central lock, all plastic skirting damaged or broken….(PUG 206)

    I’v got a rent a car, when I rceived it, I realized that there is no brakes on it…so I had to send it back…..
    I have a deadly feeling to drive that Yaris..sitting that low, see all the 4x4s light above my head :mrgreen:

    I have not much luck with the cars on these days.

    Trip Report: Explore nice and not nice part of Lisali till the ext of Murqub. Initial plan was to start from Murqub come to lisali via Margham. We started little late as Roshan was getting late and supposed to join us later as per the meeting coordinates but couldnt make it. Jessil was also stuck with something unplanned. Me and Imran decided to explore and John (ref by jessil) also joined and we hit the desert.

    Started from Murqub and done 2 lot of good mid size dunes with lil bushy terrain, then decided to move further toward margham and tasted small technical dunes to test my leading capabilities ;-), drove for almost an hour there w/o any stuck and damage. Then lil stuck in soft sand by John (white prado), ask for some attn and made us late to hit lisali. After recovering just as usual, we exited from margham before getting dark.

    Spotted few Gazelles, manage to click one. Spotted two camels in a very beautiful pose and i think we have disturb there privacy. (chk the pics).

    All in all it was good trip but i feel short of time, as by 6ish now it start getting darker. May be next time we will plan little early for exploration.

    Here are the pics.
