Years back, living in Saudi Arabia. A gang of foreigners some of
whom I knew set out to follow the old railway that Lawrence &
the lads blew up during WW I. All 4wd, Suzuki Samurai, Range
Rover, not sure what else. Some with winches, much need to
tow each other out of various sand traps.

It irritated them that they kept being passed by Bedouin in the
2wd Toyota or Datsun light trucks that have more-or-less
replaced camels in the Saudi countryside. Those guys knew
the trails and never got stuck,
