Those @#$% camels wander freely in Saudi Arabia. One of our shop trucks, a big GM cab over hit one at about 70mph and it totally destroyed the cab(driver wasn't hurt). The truck was repaired, the camel cost GE a couple thousand as it was the owners "favorite"(I wonder why tho they supposedly get really pretty after you spend a while in the desert ??)Dave W

I wonder if they rate engines over there in "camel power?" "So, Abdul, how many CP is that Rolls Royce of yours?"

Years ago in a previous life when I was directly employed by Uncle Sam, I had responsibilities that took me to various Arabian locales. I usually moved with a team and we completed “special projects” that required us to have complete autonomy. More than once, I have seen camels pop up in the strangest places – they seem to materialize and disappear at will and as mentioned above, you do not want to hit one with anything less than a duce-and-a-half or you’ll be in big trouble. The dromedary (one hump camel) can weigh a thousand pounds and when loaded with gear (or an Arab) they’re quite a sight as they amble down the road. While I never hit one, I know of several instances where the US Government paid dearly for the camel and all of the possible off-spring of the beast for the next millennia. I will say that more often than not, you can smell a camel before you can see one – they really do stink!"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." John Basil Barnhil
