    The best part of this day was drive after sun set, some guys couldn’t stay and we had less cars and more dynamic drive to the Iftar bowl direction

    It was a great drive yesterday. It is always nice to have the midweek drive as it breaks up the mundane of work. We had a large convoy and some tricky terrain. There was a lot of soft sand due to the winds that had been blowing. Joe, as always though, took us on a great tour of the Badayer dunes.

    Thanks Joe and the rest of the convoy who made the afternoon/evening great!!

    Thanks @Joe, great learning yesterday. I understand normally your convoy moves faster. Would love to join again but hope I was not slowing down too much.

    Good drive yesterday guys! Big convoy but managed to keep moving smoothly. Martyn you did great. Once you get used to these dunes, they will become a piece of cake!

    Hello Guys,

    I really envy you for the yesterday’s drive. All my gears was packed to my car, ready to roll…
    I registered but had to withdraw my registration at the last minute as my wife got suddenly ill and we spent several hours at a hospital with various tests and a lot of waiting. :-ss :(( Important is, that she is better now and I could have joined you on the next midweek drive… but again, I am off to Switzerland on Sunday (to make it worse it is a business trip not leisure) :(( :(( .

    Not sure about tomorrow, sounds to be too much of a leisure drive… [-(

    Anyway, see you soon back in action. Drive :drive: safe and enjoy it!
    Cheers,

    V.I.P.
