Thank you for that explanation. By the way, my grandmother is also looking for someone to teach her how to suck eggs. Perhaps you are available?

In the mean time, it appeared to me that he was glorifying how many people have been killed in this race. This isn't supposed to be Death Race 2000 -- he almost made it sound like it was sad that we didn't get a chance to kill some more folks. It is too bad that the race was not held, but the death rate during the race is a bad thing, not a good thing.

I think my message was not very clear . I am not glorifying the death count I just posted it as a proof of how grueling this race is.
And as far Terrorists affecting the lives of local people and me not caring about that is concerned I do know well enough how it goes in these countries and I have experienced all this first hand. I do not know about you so I will not make any comments about how well equipped you are to pass judgment in the matter without clarifying things first.
What I meant to say was PARIS DAKAR is one of the most difficult and grueling races on the planet and its a shame it has to be shut down due to security reasons.

OK then, it's all good. Thanks for the clarification.
