Last January I did a run from DXB down to Liwa, south of AUH in the empty quarter with an Emaratie. They were holding a hill climb on Morbeed, the highest dune at 300M. Reportly 50,000 locals in attendance and six caucasians. Anyway buddy Emaratie is doing 196K all the way. His govener keeps kicking in preventing a thermal runaway. They've got all the cameras as GPS corodinates which advises approching waypoint. My eyes were as big a sausers. Inshala we survived. Next time I'll drive myself thanks. Great bunch of guys and I had a great time camping out with the locals. Showed I needed to brush up on my Arabic though.
