SKALA , when you come back could you bring me back a camel please bru ? I read this somewhere .. this guy walking along a road to town with his camel. Along the way, a guy stops and ask's if he needs a ride to town. The guy say's, yeah. He hop's in, the driver say's, what about your camel. The guy said, Oh, he's ok, he know's his way to town. So the driver start's driving, he get's up to about 45 KPH, and he looks in his rearview mirror and see's the camel right behind him. He say's to the guy, hey buddy ya know your camel is behind us? The guy say's, yeah it's ok, he knows his way to town, speed up a little. The driver speed's up to about 55 KPH, he's driving along, and look's behind him and again see's the camel. And say's to the guy, your camel is still there. The guy say's, he's know's the way, speed up a little. So the driver speed's up to 65 KPH. He drive's for a bit, and look's behind him, and look's at the guy and say's, hey buddy your camel he's looking pretty rough. The guy say's, oh yeah, what's he doing. The driver say's, well, his ear's are folded back and his tongue is hanging out.. The guy say's, HIS TONGUE IS HANGING OUT,, TO WHICH SIDE. The driver say's to the left side. The guy say's, YOU'D BETTER HOLD YOUR COURSE, HE'S FIXIN TO PASS US ..!

Ja Up, camels can be very expensive; if a "ex-pat" like me would kill one in an accident, this is immediately a racing camel, belonging to the Sheik and costs big bucks. Also the rich spoilt Arabs in the UAE can test your patience; the Oman Arabs very more friendly.

Simon, no joke; these things roam around freely and at night in a sandstorm it happens very often with the vehicle driver usually being killed in the accident.

Put foot Doll!!! And a Cruiser or Safari or Prado at 160km/h is deadly. I am very scared to drive there, but usually I insist to drive, since I think I do it better than my mates.
