While stranded in the desert in 1993, a gentleman named Emile Leray, prevented from driving from Tan-tan
to Tilemsem, Morocco due to a military blockade, decided to circumvent
the blockade by driving his car through the desert, only to break down
some tens of kilometers from Tan-tan. Like any sane desert driver, he
had ample food and water on hand, so, not wanting to leave his gear to
walk back to the city for fear of it being stolen in his absence, he
chose instead to build a motorcycle from his car. In the desert with a hacksaw and a box of scraps.
