it took roughly more than an hour to drive to the meeting point ...... a few minutes of chit chat ..... around 5 minutes to deflate ..... around 2 minutes for briefing ......
it was approximately 4minutes and 16seconds into the drive when my rear drive shaft decided to part ways with the central cross joint ..... the pinions holding each other got ripped off .... its an old car which i use for offroading ..... it was bound to give in anytime ..... gives me a chance to replace both front and rear and eliminate the vibration when on tarmac as well ....
i went Frontwheelin in the soft sands of sweihan .... lol
it took me more than 2 hours to get back to dubai as i didnt want to damage my 4wd tranny ....
please please please lets schedule another run in sweihan!!!!
thanks DC and Hassan and all the drivers there .... im sure you guys had fun ....
the XJ will be back :D

What an awesome drive with amazing drivers and friends. We met at sweihan ADNOC on time with the exception of Bader who got late, me Delta and my co driver Miss D waited for him and let the other drivers to reach deflation point. Deflated and start driving in Hasan style intermediate. In the drive Strawb shaft broke down which was removed and we led him to Tarmac.
While coming back I got crested and with Hasan assistance got free which was the only stuck in the whole drive, amazingly no stuck no pop out in the whole drive. Everyone did well and drove with confidence and skills.
Thanks to

Delta it was amazing having you for 2nd time in sweihan and amazing drive as usual.
