Crossing sweihan before summer report

[Xof]

I've finished my nap, i can do the report now...

in one line : 10 cars, 4 hours, 40 km, 45°!!! congratulation to the all!!!

in details:
one no show but 10 cars were enough. We entered through gate 14 (no, marshal cars do not have a device to open the gate automatically... ) Deflation, briefing and we went straight into business. that was a very nice ride, real intermediate track, with some tricky climbs, few crests, soft sand sometime... Nearly everybody tried a stuck or two, nothing critical... all in all, we drove fast and i fulfill my fun to get a big convoy to do 40km in 4 hours with fun! only bad point : it was soooo hooootttt....

We also found a nice tree for the breakfast, with one of the best view... Always one of my favorite moment to share with you. We Saw from far away Urs who was having fun modifying an FJ... Even some Gazels were spoted!!!
Well so much in a single morning, i had a great time...

so, now, individually :
Lars: i always enjoy having you in a trip, you bring so much joy and fun and laugh... And such a good teacher always ready to demonstrate how to get stuck... I will miss you my friend.

Yayos: floating around, smiling, helping. Thanks mate. And great music ("born to be wild" before going back home, i loved it!)

Mishmumkin: thanks for the second lead. you are doing great. Keep it up, don't be too shy on the throttle, and wait 2 more seconds before breaking!

Thabit: congrat again for you baby! you are doing really good with the Tahoe. so, what will we do about this front bumper?

Sean: so now you know you don't make recovery going down a dune nonetheless, you prooved that the golf kart can also do very good in the sand pit!

Kieran: i believe you can fly! nice one... our new aircraft captain, with very pretty studest in your plane! who were exhausted at the end... I believe it was very quiet on the way back home

Fox: finally, you were on my tracks. I'm happy you liked it. What a progress since the Cayenne... I'll try to find the short film. And thanks a lot for the calendar... Dams... It's an engineer thing...

Abujoub: perfect timing, and i could see you having fun at the back. Too easy for you???

Mamoun: thanks for Sweeping. Seems you enjoyed this position. I'm also happy we made it just in time for your brother.

i think i forgot no one. Most of all, thanks a lot for sharing this great moment with me. It's the members who make the Trip!

cheers guys and girls...

PS, i'm opening the galery and drop the picture...

Now that I've had my nap, I can reply!

Thank you Xof, the weather was hot but the trip was cool ! Yes it was our first trip
together since I got the Jeep, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice small challenges, not
too difficult, and right for the weather.

Good to meet you again Mishmumkin, Yayos, Thabit.
Mishmumkin, being the two who decided to drive without A/C, maybe we created a
new perfume again, Eau de Sweihanje 4x411 ? Really, I felt the A/C of mine
just struggled to make up for the self-heating by the engine and transmission so
was not worth using after all. The open window was more effective. Well, one of
the Jeep things !
Thabit when you get the bumper repaired, I am sure they will charge you extra
because it will be more difficult to remove the old one now.
Yayos keep up your good mood always !

Good to meet new friends, Lars what a pity that your days are counted. Abujoud
and Sean, always in sight to front and back, and I am absolutely impressed by the
golf cart. Made sure in the soft places not to hit its deep tracks.

Mamoun, Amabrouk, Kieran nice meeting you for the first time !

I hope everyone returned back home safely, had good naps, and am looking
forward to share tracks with you again !

[Lars]
