Hi F_D

I think I saw your SFA this Saturday in Wilkoppies. Think it was in Wessels street.
Very nice looking in the flesh.

I think I'll see you this week.
There's a guy in Klerksdorp who builds off road trailers, for what looks to be a reasonable price.
I want to check out the trailer and then meet with you to discuss the radios.

Hi Toy,

I'm sure you did! I get so embarrassed when I take it to the garage to fill up with petrol, that I now do it over weekends only, when it is relatively quiet :P

It has an extra fuel tank fitted, and it is quite comical watching the 'jokkie's' face when he says the tank is full, because he sees the petrol level at the top, and then I ask then to keep it coming - another 80 litres or so.

It takes about 30 minutes to fill up, I think next time I am going to take a Porta-Braai with me so I can put the time to good use! :mrgreen:

Yeah... hope my steak won't reek of petrol ;-)

I was a bit disappointed in my fuel consumption, wasn't quite as good as I thought. But I still got nearly 1km/litre more than with the old carb, and I did hammer it more at Doornivier, but still... :cry:

That's four words! :P

But that is something I am considering for a future project.
