Today's morning started with a nice and relax drive towards the meeting point. Met everyone. Had nice Karak. Courtesy of @alshamsi_m
Cake cutting for our birthday boys. Happy Birthday once again boys. Have a truly blessed year ahead and a great one. @Scorpio @ahmad @karim
With literally 30 seconds of briefing by @Rashidjass
like it was just another drive, we were ready to start the drive. Definitely wasnt normal for me.
This was a my first drive withR@Rashidjass after many years. The @Rashidjass i knew few years ago in his Xterra and the @Rashidjass I saw today were 2 opposites. Definitely a Silent assassin!! :) he gave us an deightful drive to remember and cherish. Happy to see you come a long way @Rashidjass . You are definetly awesome. Drive was fast paced, side crests, walls, climbs everything as a combination. 42 kms in 3.30 hrs.
Drive was definitely awesome and helped me with better understanding of my Jeep. @Ehab @CARLOSS . You guys are amzaing. Thanks again.
The funny part is, i was the last car before sweeper and i saw no other cars behind me (mostly) while driving. However, everytime i slowed down or stopped to check the car or 2nd try etc. I immediately saw @CARLOSS next to me or behind me like a magic button. Hahahaha. Always ready to help. Hawk eyes or what @CARLOSS ?? Thanks again.
Thank you everyone for joining. Am grateful and delighted with today's drive.

Hi everyone!
Today has been one of these days in which you have witnessed a magnificent achievement and at the same time, you are a bit jealous because you know that you would not be eventually able to make something like that, regardless of the number of drives and years of experience.
Today our friend and Marshal @Rashidjass has reached almost perfection
in a master class drive perfectly tailored for Interm level. While driving at the back of the convoy it came across my mind the image of Messi, for some considered the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), and same style of effortless perfection on football it was displayed today by Rashid on the sand. He was the fu*** 
boss of the drive, performing amazing lines in a not so easy lighting condition, smooth transitions, fast pace, trilling switches, etc.
The Desert Goat was everywhere, smashing every single crest ruthlessly, pushing the convoy to its limits and still, pretty much nothing to report apart from 1 pop out and a couple of stucks. Interm fellas had the time of their life for sure.
Last time I saw Rashid on “steroids” it was on an Advance drive in June or July last year so maybe, he will surprise us anytime soon with another one.
I would not like to forget our founder @alshamsi_m and Marshal @Scorpio who took care of the convoy and my fella advance drivers supporting and reconnecting a few lost members from time to time and helping on the rescues.
Playground was also outstanding with pristine dunes and decent level of sand softness….and only +1hr from home. We will keep only for ourselves the track and in this context, I am sorry for those who has missed the opportunity of joining today’s drive…next time, you will think twice.
See you soon

Dear All,
After being thirsty and gotten rusted for the intermediate drives for a long time, couldn't sleep in and become first to arrive to (a convenient) deflating point. Later moved to the meeting point with the rest of the group. Then we had the birthday cake for @Scorpio followed by a brief brief from @Rashidjass. I was assigned as a sweeper for 14 car convoy of 8 intermediates and 3 advanced.
Before even reaching the first half hour we were reduced to 13 cars as one car had some mechanical issues. Then we had the full throttle in the crests, with decent amount of second tries, few disconnects and one punctured tire replacement. Overall, extremely enjoyable morning. Thanks to @Rashidjass such a great lead and supporting leadership for @alshamsi_m and @Scorpio and support for my advanced friends @Carlos & @Ehab.
Hoping to have more drives with my Almost family.

Hello everyone
Very interesting meeting point for intermedates. It was just another lesson that if you don't have very good navigation skills, you might not find us
The drive was very good for everyone to enjoy high dunes in this temperature .
The drive finished in perfect time for everyone to go and continue their weekend.
Thanks @Rashidjass for the lead and happy birthday to all the boys in that day including @Scorpio
Till next time stay safe and keep the sand flying.
Cheers
Shamsi
