The Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating...

Thank you for the tip.
I would prefer it if a professional could inspect the vehicle.

Etc....... I`m looking at the 1990 to 1999 models 2.2 or 2.4 petrol Preferably the SFA models. A/C would be n...

Op MB radios druk jy die knoppie wat die radio stasies se frekwensie op en af stel as jy klaar die kode ingesit het.

Miskien werk dit ook op VW......

Ek wonder of hulle my motorfiets sal klamp as ek daar parkeer

I took this picture of a parking space yesterday at the Univ. of Stellenbosch

This look like a typical example of Bureaucracy.
They must have 2 disable parking spaces on the books and now they do ......

The trucks were limited to 150km/h.
In previous dakar races the front runners of the trucks caught some of the slower cars
There were some nasty accidents and now the max speeds of the trucks are limited

Why did they only give the times of Bikes and Cars and not the trucks?

WD40 is ook baie goed. Dis ook een van die blikkies in my toolboks.

Ek weet nie wat dit in Q20 is wat metaal laat roes nie, ek neem aan dis die "losmaak" bestandeel in dit.

As jy jou hele huis se vensters se skaniere wil vervang dan moet jy dit met Q20 spuit...........
Bly weg van dit af.

Pragtig !!

Hello Gerald :)

Koop eerder `n blikkie G70 (dis `n WM PENN produk) as jy iets wil losmaak. Van al die soorte blikkies spray is Q20 seeker aan die onderkant van die top 100 lys. Ps...

Dis "matthee" wat op koringberg bly :)

Pragtig - jy maak my jaloers

Count me in for giving the critters some food.

Piketberg en Moorreesburg in die Swartland/Boland weet ook nie waar dit is nie, maar seker erens in ZA? :lol: Moorreesburg is so +/- 100 km van Kaapstad af as jy op die N7 ry - Die pad van Kaapstad na Windhoek toe.. Koringberg is seker so 15 / 20 km anderkant (noord) van Moorresburg. Pragtige area

Hello Almal, Komplimente met `n uitstekende forum !!! Ek het nou al maande "gelurk" en het uituindelik aangesluit. Ek hoop om ook binnekort te kan saam praat en ry. Die forum het my net weer lusgemaak vir `n lekker robuuste 4x4 wat ek self sal kan diens en (probeer) regmaak. :) Die forum i...
