Nearly knocked a camel down in Kuwait once. I’d prolly still be getting bummed now had I not swerved.
I only got offered 5 camels for mine in cairo. It was our honeymoon so I felt I should just say no so I wasn’t sleeping on a lounger at the pool for the next few nightsI nearly swapped my misses for 10 camels n2 babby camels I could have been a rich man in Egypt.
I was doing the deal when she was standing there I told her id steal her back.... aye right catch ye love
She did take the hump haha
Finking about it some more, they probably have little control over the steering when the ground tells the wheel to change direction. As yer ses, no gearing on the steering so a slight turn of the wheel could see the steering angle suddenly magnify and they're a gonner.Steering problem is because they gear the steering wrong and then have no fine control, it's either full lock or nothing and so when they try and correct it overcorrects and that's when the trouble starts , they're gone
Brakes not a problem if done properly.
Was thinking of a Landy breakdown truck
They also make them flimsy to save weight but the lighter it is the sooner wind resistance kicks in
More likely deaded. You takes em out at the knees and the rest comes through the windscreenNearly knocked a camel down in Kuwait once. I’d prolly still be getting bummed now had I not swerved.
