An After-trip Rescue
Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2009 6:22 pm
Everybody went out of the desert after Viking's birthday party, i went to Al Khatim gas station to inflate, then left to dubai without being very sure about the direction to take.
I was driving on a road that looked fairly normal to me; with few houses on the right and left hand-sides, a mosque and other buildings, but tarmac suddenly ended, i used the brake but the car slipped and fell down a vault 8-10 meters deep.
So far everyting was normal; i had an accident, the ubnormal started afterwards; the first thing i thought about was to call Xof who had already left the area, he sent me Mood and Viking's numbers, Mood was quite far in his nigt ride and also did not have a winch which was badly needed. So I called Viking who had already left but was still in the area, he came back for my rescue and called someone; this someone called someone else and so forth and in a matter of 30-40 minutes 7 or 8 AD4x4 offroaders were with me along with there families, cars, equipment winshes, straps and above all minds and hearts.
They all had to wait with me for the police to come and write the report before we attempt recoving the car for nealry 3 hours. Meanwhile, a full 2 othions plan was prepared to recover the car. In parallel to the serious work, an actual continuation of Viking's BDP and Andy's Farewell happened with plenty of funny chats and comments about the accident and whether it should be counted as the best stuck of the year or not.
I am writing here to say that when someone is with AD4x4 they should not worry neither during their trips nor afterwards, the members of this club are not only great off-roaders, they are great friends, responsible and sincere.
I am very proud being part of this club and i think we should all be.
Thank you Viking. Thank you Andy. Thank you JC. Thank you Mike. Thank you Lee. Thank you Ali. Thank you Suhail. Thank you everybody else.

I am glad to call myself the owner of one of those amazing vehicles, Toyota could not have done any better advertising than this one.
