Another fantastic event organized by almost4x4. Thank you so much @alshamsi_m for giving us wonderful opportunity to drive in night and opening a different dimension in desert driving .
As expected, Drive was really challenging in some places and we had few second tries and quick recoveries.
I had some issue in my car’s gear shifting and had to restart the engine few times during the drive. Big surprice came while climbing Al Faya Dune and gear got shifted to neutral every time I press the throttle. After clearing engine error codes using a OBD tool by @alshamsi_m, I was back on my wheels and on top of Al Faya Dune . Thank you so much for fixing the issue and I was fortunate to drive with almost4x4 experts.
Thanks co-pilot @Saifarif for the grate support.
Thanks [MENTION=9649]matts[/MENTION] for being second in charge, @Adam and @Mark_B for rescuing us and @Booy for sweeping.
cant wait for the next drive.
See You in Sand

When I joined the club last year, I was told that there won’t be any night drives for newbies, but SURRRPRISEEE !!!! as always @alshamsi_m is behind it….
We started exactly at 10 pm as per the schedule, started driving from Maliha Road towards al Faya, of course we didn’t have a clue where we are driving, just saw it on the GPS.
Drive was set to 2 hours, but we had a few stucks and second rounds. But everybody drove well, through those ditches, sharp drops and climbs along with some climbs in the dark. Finally the great climb at Al Faya where we ended the drive, just climbing the other side of the crazy dune. I could not believe we did it in that dark night.
All in all everybody did good and learned something new as well. But getting to work on the day after was something different.
Thank you Shamsi and everybody. See you next time….
Cheers
