Hoping to resume the application of cudgels to register Bumblebee the Camel Trophy Disco here in the UAE when payday happens (today!?). She still languishes in a friend’s garage here in Fujairah as she is not road legal. I went to check her out the other day and all is well – started first time, despite a four-week absence.

Here she is in the desert between Sharjah and Fujairah

Nifty non-standard LED running lights

Handy LED spots around the roof rack for camping

Stowage in the back of a Disco Mk 1 is always a task – especially for overland vehicles. This handbuilt storage drawer system makes life a lot easier, as do the interior aftermarket LED lights. The space for the fridge is just visible at the far end. I keep that indoors so I can get it started on the 220v mains and reduce them temperature with that before transferring it to the 12v car system.

A Camel in Arabia…. Bee in her natural habitat
