Absolute bang on Tiger :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymhug: …..
I still recommend everyone to reach the Emarat petrol station before 6am and we all should leave Emarat by 6am….as we would need time to register at the counter, collect all the vouchers, have breakfast….then leave…as the drive is to start by 7.30am….I will be at the point by 5.45am for sure….Lets make this drive a drive to remember…..
