Share with your friends!

It was very nice and successful day in the desert. We did Desert Fellas introduction followed by drive in 3 convoys and 3 different levels.

Most of our members reached the point on time, with 2 absents and one late cancelation. I’d like to congratulate to our new members who will be able to attend our next trips in certain level. Please have a look at your profiles to check  your designated driving level and let us know if any comments.

Prospect drive went smooth with several stucks and recoveries respectfully. We didn’t make many kilometers but we had chance to learn a lot. Next drive will tell us more but for first one I’m very happy and satisfied with all drivers performance.

Feedback for Prospect drive:

We just started and there is few things which we will work on in our furtherer trips. Stay tuned!

I’m very happy that you’re one of those guys who is taking offroading seriously. You tried before, you got yourself adequate and beautiful car and now is time for you to rock. I’m very happy to have you back and looking forward to explore your car capabilities together.

You are good, we will work a little bit on speed and similar, but for the first time I’m very satisfied with your performance today.

Welcome to the other side. You also did well today, and now we have to work together so you can join Ratica’s drive ASAP.

Thanks for keeping Karen busy today, that’s great. Remember this day and after few trips we will do comparison and I’m sure that you’ll be surprised.

Despite your experience you decided to start from beginning. This is highly appreciated from my side. Looking forward to work together on next trips.

Trip support by DF Crew:

Thank you Andrea for trip support it’s nice to see you in the early morning. Hope you had nice rest of  a “long day”.

Karen you worked today a lot and we opened new chapter in your offroading. You did 3 recoveries, yeeeey! Hope your back is still fine. Despite back issue you see there is the way to do the hard work in easy way. In furtherer trips we will work more on some details and I’m sure you will be amazing support on our trips.

Thank you everyone!

  1. Dear Fellas,

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to join the group. I had a fantastic time with you peeps.

    I can say that DF are quite different from the other regular clubs. Very welcoming, disciplined and well organised.

    The introduction speech from Marko was special and I could feel the passion and it was straight to the point. The safety culture next level.

    For the drive the newly promoted Tiago handled things like a boss. His briefing was very conscise with do and don’t. He boosted my confidence. Once we got into sand I really felt the difference. There were at times when we are having fast drive with full control. The time to time coordination between lead and sweep was just wow.

    Over all I had a fantastic time and looking to have many more drives with the team.

  2. Thanks Marko for the drive today, I am really happy to rejoin the group with my new FJ and looking forward to join the weekly trips.
    The group is getting bigger, with positive vibe from everyone…Let us rock together

  3. Lovely morning, thanks everyone for fantastic company! It was great to see lots of new joiners and hopefully we will see you now regularly on the sand.
    Marko, just need to mention again that I have never met a better instructor than you…your patience and direct way of communication is great! Special thanks to Karen for her help in recoveries today!
