4 x 4 new ship of the desert


4 x 4 new ship of the desert

The new Ship of the Desert is the 4 x 4. Unlike the camel it cannot survive on living plants on the surface of the desert but it thrives on dead ones that have been compressed over the centuries into oil. Toyota comes top and the Jeeps are next. Because fuel is so cheap in this part of the world desert driving is a sport.


You deflate your tires to half pressure and they balloon over the sand and don't usually dig in. Still you have to be ready at any time to dig yourself out of the clinging sand.
