Gentlemen,
For those who previouslycontacted me, I have sent you a PM again with Gunther's new number. Sorry for the inconvenience. He is also not happy with the cell company for mucking up his precious number - 9 years worth of clients were associated with that number.
Cheers.

Ek het die vol tegniese toets laat doen toe ek my bakkie gekoop het en hulle kon nie eers optel dat die uitlaat pyp los in die knaldemper boks gesit het nie, ten spyte van die ooglopende tekens.
Ek moes dit uitwys.
