1000 dunes rally - Trip report
What a wonderful day we had today .... maybe 30 Minutes of offroading but 14 hours laughing ...
We left Abu Dhabi at 7.00, Me, Megamoe, Blackchallenge, Yehia & K-Al maqboul. Met T-mag and Wildfire at the Petrol Station in Rahba and head to the race .. We reached on time, Emil came after 10 Minutes with the lovely Buggy, we also met Elie and another guy (Don't know his name)chat for some time then the race started ..
We went offroad to catch the finish point, but couldn't reach as some cars got stuck .. so we were waiting for the buggy to finsih the 2nd round ... During this, we had a call that we have to rescue the buggy at 3.5KM from the start point as it got stuck, so we all ran there, when we reached, they were out ... so we went to the petrol station to meet Chuck ... it was around 1.00 p.m. we met him and waited in the petrol station for the buggy as it was expected to pass by us to the way to the check point ...
The buggy arrived and we followed it to the check oint to find that it had a problem in the transfer case and the front axle shaft ... In th emeantime, they missed one check oint so they had to do another round on the route ... we split into 3 groups, one at the start point, one at the finsih point and one inthe middle wher the buggy got stuck earlier as this was a difficult part and will be more difficult with 2 wheel drive and broken axle shaft ... Waited and waited (from 2.30 till 3.00) when we had a call from Megamoe that the buggy will start at 4.45, so we met agaun, went to play a little bit it hatta area and head back to see the buggy ... No spare parts and we have to wait ... so we went to play in big red and badayer (One hour) and came back to see emil again, no spare part and the buggy will pull out of the race ... we waited for the recovery car to come and take the buggy back to Abu Dhabi and we left as well with Emil ..
If you notice, we were only running around, had very little offroading but the group was great, we laughed alot, we enjoyed it and all had fun, even the short trip was great .... so thanks to all the group and see you next week end inshallah to continue the jokes and fun
