[quote=Sash716;31816]Hi Caprihorse, I apologize if my tone seemed like I was complaining, I was not and certainly didn't want to sound like I was. I simply asked a question, the same question another member (Cass) asked who was in the same situation as me and a few of the members pointed out the situation to him.
Andre explained it to me and referred me to the post so I can understand how the system works. I am thankful to him for doing so.
However, just because I misread and/or didn't understand a concept does not mean I can't listen and follow instructions during a trip. I am eager to learn all I can about driving in the desert.
Unlike some other drivers I've seen I'm not over confident and I know what I can and cannot do. I know the desert can be an unforgiving place and any little mistake can have dire consequences, not just for me but for anyone traveling with me and other drivers.
I also changed my country of origin, not sure how or why it was saying UAE. Perhaps when I was signing up I made a mistake and skipped it or didn't see it or something. Like everyone else here I understand the term: "Country of Origin" and the fact that I made a mistake does not mean you have be rude about it and insult someones intelligence. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes and clearly this was not a big mistake.
I again apologize if the tone of my previous message seemed rude and as if I was complaining.
Have a nice day[/quote]

[quote=RedShark;31861]Hello Bu Salem,
Only Intermediates ? no room for 8+ maybe :)[/quote]
as I said on chat box ... if I was able to break a small part from your car in Al Faqaa ... then this track will be extremely challenging plus we will be doing more than 150 km in one shot ... no slow down ..

It's really extremely challenging, especially from Hameem side, as you will be driving against very steep dunes and at the end, close to Oman border you will face a very long fence, which apparently doesn't have any gates and you will be forced to drive around through wild untouched dunes.
