It’s been a wonderful four days in the wilderness and out with friends and the Land Rover. As it is the case with events as such, words are not enough what it was like and how it had been for us, for the competitors and for the machines.

Kemal finished 18th overall, 5th on 450cc Bikes and 1st on N-Class. Soo

Leave your computer and Facebook at home, and go out and play. Takes all the daemons out for sure. I’d also would like to thank Mr.Okan Cam, a fellow off-roader, Camel Trophy Veteran and a great friend, who spent the last 18 hours of the race with me.

I hope the pictures will tell the story better than me. If you’d like to see the official results:

More nostalgia…yeah yeah yeah…it’s that time of the year for me

and no other song than this to remind me of those days, and to express my feelings of the day.

This is an earlier video of Halit, Kiti & I in the deserts of Dubai with the now-gone-no-more TD5 Discovery. I am experimenting on the Mac on this video thing, so let’s see how it ends up with the progress.
