Very very very very very funny indeed!!!!!!! But I would suggest that he put up a tent before he dies of sunstroke, and even dromedaries enjoy the shade occasionally. ;-D
I must say though that the idea was exceptionally clever, and htat you're a genius in your field.

haha! You forgot to advertise the "bucket seats", LOL
( their humps store water like a bucket)

Thanks all! :biggrin: I appreciate your appreciation! It's what makes these things worth doing.
Bucket seats, heh! I dunno if I have any bucket models. I might have a wooden one. Hmmm......

Camel Lot? :glare: groan That made my head hurt!
Too funny! Had to send that link to a few dozen friends...on company time, of course. LOL You have a great sense of humor, Gordon. Keep up the great work!

P.S. Vilian...send the rain to Texas, we went the whole month with only a "trace" of rain, and they only say that to make everyone feel better. In my home town we actually haven't had any rain for the past month and a half...and it doesn't look good for the next 2 weeks either! :m_bawling:

Thanks! I'll do my best, for sure.
Hope you get some rain soon!!!!

Well of course the poor creature gets thirsty, stuck all day in the HOT, blistering sun, because the idiot doesn't have the sense to bring them in under the shade of the date palms at the nearby Oasis. ;-D

That's right! They should be in an air-conditioned showroom with the Beemers and Benzes.

Actually that's right, they should be. Among the tribesmen that still raise them, they are no less a symbol of status and wealth than the 'Beemers and Benzes' are to us. ;-D

I imagine so. Those things played a very big role in desert life. Still do in some areas, I think.

Surely! I remember seeing a photo of someone cruising down the highway in Saudi Arabia in a small pick-up truck, with a camel sitting in the back. Sort of like some Americans cruise to Daytona Beach every year in a truck with their Harley riding in back. The Harley is the important vehicle, the truck just a tool.

Probably a racing camel that he was entering into competition. C amel racing is quite a sporton the Arabian Peninsula. National Geographic TV has featured them in several programs.
Bedoin trakers serving in the IDF have also used them when tracking suspicious signs in the Sinai.

Seems like I've seen one of those specials. Camel racing looks more challenging than horse racing, for some reason.
