Wow!! that second pic looks like it's really working well :!:
I wanted to say it appears to work like a bomb!! but lets rather avoid talks of things exploding

Were does the gas come from if the water level doesn't drop

Do you have to replace the water after a while

Safari Park does seem like a very good option at the moment and there is definitely 4x4 trails listed in the the area but no details yet

Tristan

Ron I hope you are driving around lots this weekend, Im very anxious to see the results

Tristan

Ek stem saam met Rich... Eeeer!!! I mean I dont understand Afrikaans so I vote with Rich

This thread is very interesting and us souties are to dof to speak two languages so if possible please try stick to English

Tristan

Pieter I agree with you 100% its all about the money!!! Yet if the government is getting loads out of the deal were is it going from there :?: I sure dont see rising fuel prices helping any of the less fortunate it only makes things worse as everything goes up with it :x Sorry I know Im drifting of ...

Tristan

Bottom line is something will have to happen eventually!!! if fuel just keeps increasing at this rate it is going to kill every market out there including itself. Personally I would love to see alternative fuel become a reality rather than a drop in fuel price (lets be honest even if it drops it wil...

Tristan

It seems clear to me that the technology is there for alternative fuel :| My guess is that there is some sort of agreement between the fuel company's and the vehicle manufacturers :x I suppose it is also a case of fuel availability petrol/diesel is already available everywhere, now imagine trying to...

Tristan

I managed to watch the show at somebody else's house tonight :mrgreen: Hope I will get to see some more. FD What makes me angry about that other show you mentioned is that on his site (which I have read from beginning to end) he claims to get zero kick backs from any of the brands which he talks abo...

Tristan

Just a quick question Ron :arrow: Will you turn the idling down so it returns back down to 800rpm

Im trying to understand were exactly the fuel saving comes from :?

Tristan

I cant wait to see what the results are gona be

Im guessing it probably wont make a huge difference to start with but if it makes any difference then it is something that can be improved till it does make a big difference 8)

Wow :!: that is amazing, I really hope these guys get some funding to develop the technology further.
The potential is huge :!:

Tristan

Ron for president :!: :!:

:D

Tristan

I am keeping a very close eye on this post

Tristan

I think Bennie is teamed up with Neil AKA: Mugabe so I think we will ignore his comments here

Besides we wouldn't complain as much if our 6/7km per lt was to power a 7M-GE power house

:evil:

Tristan

Wade I agree with you 100% :wink: :mrgreen: There definitely has to be some 4x4 trails for us to enjoy. As we mentioned earlier there are definitely 4x4 trails in that area but there just isn't much detail listed on the internet. Im sure after a few people in the area have been informed what we are ...

Tristan

Wade I must admit that does seem like an awesome venue

the only problem is its rather far for the CT Guys and as far as I can tell majority of the forum members are from CT area so I dont think many of them will put a vote for here

But I sure would like to go there sometime 8)

Tristan

Rusty and Tammy dont look entirely convinced yet :!: What was there final verdict

Looks to me that they are very thorough and wont except any half bake jobs

GTO wrote:Why is it that most off road bikes use foam filters?

I was also wandering about that :?

I have a foam filter at the moment and was wandering if I should change it with the next service (which is overdue

)

Tristan

My JR like most loves to play with balls, sticks, bottles etc.. anything can become a toy for him. When we go to the beach he will always go find a stick and bring it to me so we can play. I think this time he might of been a little ambitious :shock: :lol: :arrow: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/...

Tristan

Buy a Yaris and make one of these

Tristan

Maybe it is because you let me drive it... now it is upset with you

Tristan

Yip you right 8) At least we know there is some 4x4 trails around there and Colesburg, Gariep Dam, Middelburg they are close to each other and as central as you can possibly get to everyone

Hopefully we will have a winner soon

Tristan

I did a search on 4x4ing in Colesberg and there is a few farms .... that indicate 4x4 routes but they don't provide detail on the trail. We will have to call them when to get the details. I also did a search for the area and there is definitely mention of trails but as you say not much detail is gi...

Tristan

F.O.R.D = First On Rubbish Dump

Tristan

Im going to throw an idea towards the conspiracy theory

Do you think its possible that the government (been as effeciant as they are :x ) realised a bit late that we dont actually have enough money to pull of the 2010 world cup and are now trying to get it from somewhere

Tristan

Well Im hoping that somebody will find it crisis enough to come up with a genuine alternative fuel source :|

Tristan

viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2994

Just in case anybody wanted to have a look at the details about any of the venues

Tristan

:? Now I dont know which one to choose :roll:

Tristan

I still dont have my suspension sorted yet :( mostly because there are a few other things I need to spend what money I have on first. I currently have Ironman and I find it very hard so the first thing Im going to do when I have the cash available is put OME springs upront with Manroe shocks then la...

Tristan

This last suggestion by Simon is definitely the most central and been just of the N1 it should be a pretty easy drive for most people 8) The rates are really good to :D Its quite rare to find a place that still has rates suitable for South Africans most places all target the overseas tourists :x I d...

Tristan

Tristan

Ya!! it looks a bit far for the JHB okes but dont worry they live on top of gold mines so they have plenty money

Jokes aside the venue looks great :!: always nice to see some pics

Tristan

:lol: :lol: I think you might of frightened the CT chaps when they had a look at the distances to the current suggested venues but then again I haven't seen any suggestions for places closer to CT :? Ive heard about good trails near Oudtsoorn so how about we throw that into the mix of venues :idea: ...

Tristan

I always want to laugh when somebody sais "if you want to save fuel dont drive fast" You mean to tell me that there are some standard 22r motors out there that are able to go fast :shock: :?: I think if I had to go any slower I might as well get out and push :lol: Truth is Im not intereste...

Tristan

Ronald I think you hit the nail on the head here :wink: What is best for one person is not what is best for the next and that goes further than just suspension. I think each person has to have a realistic approach as to what they are going to be doing with there vehicle ie: trails, competitions, ove...

Tristan

So now there are options for the 4Y... I wonder when something will be discovered for the 22R

Tristan

Oh!! yes and what about Bloem for the Freestate okies

Tristan

The following link will give you a map of RSA, with the suggested venues. http://www.photobox.co.uk/my/photo/full?photo_id=1709491936 Here's a little homework I've done around the venues and distances. Unfortunatley for the CPT guys, it looks like you guys are in for min of 1100km, unless there are...

Yea!! I know but I knew Simon would put my name down as soon as I confirmed I will be going with him

Tristan

Hey Bennie have you considered putting this conversion into the article section of the forum

I think many guys may consider doing this so it would be great to have easy access to all the info

Tristan

Ek gooi net 'n klip in die bos! Wat van Rhodes, meer spesifiek "Tiffendale", die ski-oord. Ek dink dis taamlik sentraal in SA. Daar is baie 4x4 roetes in die omgewing en kamp plek/blyplek is nie 'n probleem nie. Andries I actually think that is a very good idea :arrow: plenty 4x4 and its ...

Are we going, I will leave the wife at home.

Yes we must definitely go

If we leave your wife at home do you think she will still make us padkos

I am admittedly not experienced in this area so anything I say here is just a repeat of what I have been told by people who have more knowledge on the subject. Sure OME shocks are better there is no doubt but some of us only have so much money to spend so compromises have to made somewhere. Please c...

Tristan

:? Im afraid all the Afrikanse taal is a bit to much for me so allot of what is said above I dont understand :oops: :oops: I can say that a full OME kit seems way overpriced :shock: As far as I can tell the thing that makes OME great above anything else is their springs. I cant justify buying their ...

Tristan

Can we have to different threads

one for venue and one for attendance

Simon, Thys doesn't want to come to Queenstown because there are no sand dunes :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Maybe he is afraid of the hectic terrain it is a bit tougher than the scenic Cape Town mountain passes :twisted: :twisted: Thys would you be happy with Ferndale :?: it is near Cathcart not Qu...

I dont see any mention of 4x4 anywhere :? There must be something around there.. even in the vicinity..

Tristan

Vanderkloof Dam looks like a nice place... especially if we wanna go water skiing or fishing

I dont see any mention of 4x4 anywhere :?

At least it is central

Does anyone have info on trails etc... in the area

Tristan

Korannaberg has been the only proper suggestion here so far :| Neil I agree with Thys just pull a Mugabe on us all and the rest of us must obey :!: No venue is going to be 100% central or to everybody's taste and lets look at the bigger picture if you have a national GTG once a year it can change lo...
