from a FORAC member...

My name is Conrad, call me Jun for short kasi Jr. ako eh. anyhow, lets make the intro short and cut to the chase!

I'm a member of F.O.R.A.C.(proud to say).Without this group, I wouldn't know what to do on weekends...I wouldn't even know what to think of on weekdays either. It's something that runs in me i guess....if you have that certain level of craving, the longing the never ending search for adventure or maybe you'd just want to completely obliterate(too harsh) well maybe not...maybe you'd just want to bruise your car up really badly, then join F.O.R.A.C.

We love the things we do, aside from being a charitable group, we are so keen to camp out in the desert after a week's work because it’s something so relaxing compared to hanging out in pubs and other noisy joints(at least to me it is). To wake up in the morning, sunrise on our faces anticipating the "GARA-GARA"(that's our native tongue for "DUNE BASHING" cool isn't it) that lies ahead of us...then off-course there's the actual dune bashing which is to die for(not literally unless you're in the backseat! hehehe) oooh YEESSSSS.....those dunes are heaven to my eyes, I'd give up my married life if I were to choose between dune bashing and getting married(JOKE!). Anyhow, so you follow these cars that take the lead...or just follow the car in front of you because you wouldn't know the way to anywhere when you're out there unless you have a GPS, well anyhow, the point is...you're out there driving, you're 4x4 engaged, just you and your beast, and you hear nothing but the roar of your engine and the occasional shouts on the walkie-talkie! And how can I forget, the Gs you feel when you go down a dune and up another one....(hehehe I make it sound so extreme!) pero totoo...there are some dunes out there that'll just tickle your ribs on the way down! eeeshh... i remembered the first big dune i ever driven down...i could cry with satisfaction! and then there's "WALLING" yeah...one of my favorites, I don't do it too much though because. i might wreck my 1999 LC Prado(thanks to MOISES,YO PRES, keep up the good work!!!) that car's running like a dream!. I've taken that car out on my own sometimes and it never ceases to amaze me!

PHEW! FOR THE LOVE OF SAND AND ANYTHING OFF-ROAD!!!
