That explains why Richard had to search for another Vigo dust proofing kit! He managed to find the pile of them in another part of the warehouse though

I was digging round on the internet for a bracket for an ostrich wing awning and came across an advert on OLX saying that they were going back into production. I rang them and spoke to karen and it sounds like big country are taking over again but the factory is going to be in PTA and the office in ...

Hey Thumelo - we just did a similar trip and in 6600km the 2.7i didnt use a drop of oil! but a LOAD of fuel!! I was getting 5km/l!!!! I am also working on a trip report which will be up ina few days, but here is the route we did and places we stayed: Day 1: Friday 7th December : JHB – Maun 1148km Vi...

Hey Fernando Check this one out if you are still in the market - canoe and kayak sell them as well, but buying new is very pricey. I have a Tarpon 140 and a tarpon 130T. http://johannesburg.gumtree.co.za/c-Boats-Watercraft-canoes-kayaks-paddle-NEW-Fishing-Kayak-W0QQAdIdZ433754487" onclick="...

I had my long range tank fitted by Gerbers in Pomona, it was the biggest second tank I could find and gives me 160 litres in total, but mine is the IFS, not sure how big a tank they do for the Vigo.

EDIT- didn't see the thread was 4 years old!!!!! Feel free to ignore

Edenvale home affairs: C/o Hendrik Potgieter and van Riebeeck street, Edenvale. It is the shopping centre that used to have the checkers in it, in the main drag through Edenvale, greenstone side of the main CBD area. They are open from 8am on Saturday, so get there by 7:30am at the latest and start ...

Better go get mine done ASAP..... This is on the forms and on the home affairs website..... Applicants should note that In terms of section 26(B) of the South African Citizenship Act, 1995, it is a punishable offence for a South African citizen of 18 years and older to leave or enter South Africa o...

Johno, we got new passports last year from the Edenvale Home affairs - they are even open on Saturdays. Took less than a week to get a full passport for all of us (myself and 2 sons)! If you do go - make sure you are there about half an hour before they open upand then it isnt a very long process - ...

Thanks for the trip report Mark, maleme dam in matopo was my first fishing trip with my dad many years ago, we spent a few holidays there as my dad grew up in Bulawayo (i was born there but left when I was 3) My uncle has a part share in a farm in the middle of matopo, the corner of his property is ...

If it isnt too late why not incorporate some collapbsible wash bowl into the table so you dont need to take them out when you put it away. They are also going to take up far less space!

check these out:

Bug bit me a while ago and I have a Tamyia TNX, T-Maxx 3.3 and a MAN Thunder Tiger Truck which are all nitro powered, and then I also have a Tamiya King Blackfoot. Great fun to mess about with and the T-Maxx is ridiculously fast! TNX and T-maxx have 2 spd gearboxes, MAN Truck is just impressively pu...

we came back through Beitbridge on the 6th of January 2012 - took us just over 2 hours for everything and we spent about 45 mins waiting for our turn to go over the bridge as there were so many trucks going through. R1500 for a runner is ridiculous! How many in your group going? Gget each person to ...

We did the giriyondo - massingir - villanculos trip on the 16/17 December. We were passed by a toyota cressida in the pouring rain about 5km before the turn off to Aguia Pesceira campsite (beautiful camspite and qualifies as a stopover with the new KNP rules of using Giriyondo border post) so the ro...

Sounds great Dewald, glad to see you got back safely! Looking forward to the trip report - it should be inspiring!

We are planning to use that border post on our route, although we are stopping over at Massingir and then going from there through to Vilankulo in a day. We heard recently that you will not be allowed to use Giriyondo unless you have overnight accommodation booked in the park. The idea is to force t...

Such cowardice! Taking on two women and then resorting to shooting defensless people!! I am absolutely disgusted! My condolences and thoughts are with the family - no one should ever have to go through anything remotely as traumatic as this! If there is anything we can do to help please let us know!

Awesome trip report so far Mark - thanks for great feedback and pics! We are doing a bit of a monster trip in December - Moz - Lake Malawi - Eastern Zim Highlands. And the part I am most looking forward to is the return leg via Cahoora Bassa Dam, then down to Nyanga National Park and then onto Gonar...

try Gerbers4WD - they are also out benoni way. http://www.gerbers4wd.co.za" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Apparently they have a long range tank for a Kia Sorento even, they will probably make one up to fit as well.

DAMN - I must have been damn lucky to get mine then - I bought my 2003 2.7i DC hilux in March for R140k with 170,000 km on the clock from a toyota stealer and they even gave me a less violent kick in the nether regions on the trade in of my renault scenic than anyone else was going to!! I found mine...

We are off to go and melt at Cape Maclear on Lake Malawi, via Moz, coming back via cahorra bassa and down eastern highlands of zim! 3 weeks and about 5500km! Cant flippen wait!
