Just as an aside, today I’ve been married 11 years!

Make the speed limit 0 km/h and you'll still get vehicle related deaths and injuries. Ask the backyarders when the car falls of the jack :razz:

Worst car I ever drove, Toyota Camry, but the bugger NEVER gave problems and I tried to break it, was good on fuel etc. but oh so boring. Reliability is for old ladies :banned: Worst car in terms of breakages? I've had a lot of Alfa's and if you do not worry about the rust, the brakes, the electrics...

Lang storie kort, geen dag permitte word uitgereik op die oomblik nie, ek het met Chantelle gepraat nou net en sy het die slegte nuus gegee. So moenie die moeite doen om in stad toe te kom nie!

Dankie ouens.

I never know where to start on something like this, I’m not as articulate in my writing as Thys and Cassie and will not even attempt it but here goes: Thank you to Mark and his family for putting us up for the night!

Anton... reason is... the Lexus V8 is R6500... the 3RZ 2.7i can fetch as much as 20K for a good one... most guys don't realise that it's not the cost of the engine that makes the Lexus conversion so expensive... it's all the other bits... radiator, bellhousing, aftermarket ECU, tuning, exhausts... ...

Ag okei dan. Just have to ask nicely, what's with all the screaming

I'll go, doubt if I'll go to Atlantis myself but will drop the permits at Thys's before the weekend. Just PM the details and pay the dues.

I've got a friend racing a truck, I've searched for results about his progress but because he is not in the top ten I can't find anything. He also races a Hilux here in SA so I can ask the question here on the Hilux forum :razz: Do you guys know whom I'm talking about and if you do do maybe have any...

I'm going to get the permits about 11 on Wednesday. PM me before that time and you're sorted!

Jammer oor Allan se siekte, hoop hy raak gou gesond

Ken dalk nie 4X4's so goed nie maar ek het met Classics grootgeword en het nog n paar van hulle. Ek het ook n paar Mini's gehad en ek kan se dat dit so 2 dae van die maand nie moelikheid gee nie, en dis die dae wat jy te lui is om met hulle ry :razz: Kry vir die seun n Volla! Die VW leer hom bestuur...

King Rat

My feeling is that we rather have to get the obstacle managed right and proper than worry about the team competing as the obstacle will give us the best exposure as a club and we cannot in any circumstances let this opportunity slip. So if all else fails I'm prepared to do it, with the help of Allan...

Poor Roy seems to have had a rough life. Hopefully it get fixed now by Jacques. Luckily I can do my learning out of other people’s experiences. Keep us updated!

If the conrod is bent slightly(in thous) it could lead to excessive gudgeon pin wear, but the first point of strain would be on the big end bearing... the aluminum coating would take a pounding quick quick... When the bottom end of Roy was overhauled, we decided not to redo the top end, simply to k...

King Rat

I'm still convinced the engine is good, and not just saying that because I sold you the bakkie . The motor pulls strong, no smoke whatsoever, minimal oil usage, and the bottom end has brand new quality bearings and a clean crank. Who did the motor when you had it, how do you know it's quality? Anyw...

Wie kan ek besteel om n 159 te kan koop

King Rat

I (aka wysneusig) did the exercise with a piece of paper! And the angles are not the same between the top and bottom cut outs. So there is a gap still which will probably work out to the area of 'one' missing or too much

Depends on the brand of brannas :D

Ek het ook n KLR gehad maar dit was nie heeltemal vir my nie(as die wind waai waai hy jou weg en max cruise is 140 km/h tensy the 'slap' nie n probleem vir n mens is nie dan kan jy ietwat vinniger :P ), die ouens met die F650 het my ore aangesit tensy dit by baie heavy stuff gekom het.

BMW motorbikes just had a recall for a brake leak issue, and before Toyota M Benz had the biggest recall in history. The only problem I got with Toyota is their previous reluctance to do these recalls as in this case people died and when people die massive emotional bad-will is generated. I’ve dealt...

With the old types of engines I re-build quite regularly (I drive Alfa's :silent: ) I use only mineral oil for the first 5000kms or so otherwise I also get this glazing of the bores and oil rings everytime.

Well, if you take the fact that a upright without the brake disc and calipers on the Production racing BMW's cost around R110000 each this is not that big a amount! What sort of experience and practice does the lucky crew get before the race proper? Are these buggies a sort of new one-make class?
