@ Jo, T-J and Nader, glad you liked the trip and it's accessories.

@ Waqar, you welcome, but as much as I like you as a passenger, I wish you will have your X back soon. Then you can have the choice

Just a quick update, got my ride sorted and back on the road after the camping trip it had in the dunes.
It was a long day, spent between Mussafah and Sweihan back and forth but at the end we had the White Rhino back on it's legs marching and the Hawk happy with minimal €$¥ damages.

Thanks to everyone for there support and follow up from yesterday till 5 min back. I kept hearing "we came as 1 team and we leave as 1 team" all the time and from many marshals whenever I suggested to divide the group and avoid people getting late.

Thanks to everyone who offered to help. Thanks to Juergen for driving me home, Chafiq for the company early morning, and a BIG THANK YOU to Jalal who spent all his day with me trying to get the car fixed till success.
