Hello. I was there last friday, but unfortunately i Didn’t accomplish with one of the basic requirements, due to my stupidity, because I was expecting to put petrol at Al Badayer area and obviously there’s no petrol station there at all, this and the fact that i didn’t arrive with enough time avoid me to be part of your convoy.
Honestly i have to say that I saw there highly modified and very professional cars, nothing to do with my simple old car. So i’m asking to myself if I would be able to drive in the sand without being stuck all the time in comparison with all these perfect machines that I saw. I parked my car there 25 m inside the sand near the convoy and far from tarmac, and really I was thinking that after that, maybe i will not be able to move the car outside of the sand, but I could do even having 35 PSI on the wheels.
So I have to try next time if you let me, I will arrive with enough time and with all the required things. Finally I want to apologize, because maybe somebody couldn’t come to the trip because of me, and finally I didn’t join to the convoy. Anyway all the people there were very friendly with me, so thanks to all of you for your patience with me.
Mate, if I was at the drive I think you would have felt different 🙂 I’m driving a stock ’98 Granny :yesss: I was feeling same like you when I started offroading. Your machine is capable, if you maintain it properly, and it all depends on you as a driver, you will improve, you will see.
I suggest you go through checklists in our Rules of the trip and Equipment that one needs for offroading and you will be good. You just learned it the hard way, no big deal.
No need to apologize, we always have room for drivers, we dont have limited number of “seats”, everyone is most welcome :ymhug: as long as they are registered, and there is always a next Friday drive, so we expect to see you next drive with us to have some FUN!!! :drive:
