Shaun - no stress buddy - the more eyes and hands makes things easier for those who arranges things.

George dit klink na n kwaai idea ! siende dat ons so vroeg al daar is.

Marshalls - I will be leaving Gomad at 6 on Saterday for those who wants to go together otherwise we all meet at Melkbos at 7 sharp.

Drivers please try and be at Melkbos no later than 7h45.

This year we are bringing home all the prizes!!!!

Drivers dont stress this is Hilux country and we can take it this year - last year was to easy that is why we didnt win because hilux people arent use to driving on grass and flat grounds.

Boetie - Truckin dont stress you wont fall over on any gates......

Andre, die laaste foto.... ek dink die tou sal miskien werk, maar daardie paper-clip lyk 'n bietjie dodgy!?!

Johannes van die See · Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:31 am

Siende dat ek nog in die rondte is, mag ek ook kom kyk?

Gysie · Post by **Gysie** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:35 am

Johannes - Natuurlik mag jy kom my maat dit sal lekker wees om jou daar te he.

Final message from organizers:

The last two things …

Photo sessions

Please make sure that your club knows when your photo session is.

There will be a demarcated area where the photos will be taken – it is indicated on the Course Layout map that you will receive tomorrow.

Please make sure that your club goes to have your picture taken as you won’t be called

MC’s request

The MC asked if all Club Reps would be so kind to pop into the caravan throughout the day to talk about your club over the air waves.

So, start writing your speech! J

Well all that’s left for me to say now is … see you TOMORROW!

Pieter - will you do the honors to do the speach for us ! Thanks

I don't know if I missed this somewhere.

Do we have a Driver Team Captain, leader, representative ?

I remember last year when we gathered for the drivers briefing they called for the drivers captain and we did not have a nominated person.

Mr_B · Post by **Mr_B** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:52 am

I nominate Shaun Butcher!

Shaun, then you are our man.

Don't stress, nothing major.

Are there any plans for the drivers to meet up and drive together, or do we just get together at Melkbos.

See you guys tomorrow.

Gysie · Post by **Gysie** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 3:43 pm

Yes Turbo - sorry niks gereel vir die drywers nie omrede die marshalls al so vroeg daar moet wees. Wil jy nie reel met die manne wat gaan nie asb!

Marshalls please remember 07h00 there or 06h00 Gomad

Drivers please be there before 8h00 if possible.

Thanks

What a great day !

It was a great to be a "normal member" for a change and let others handle the organization.
Ciske and the team, you guys organized a great day , thanx a million for the effort you guys put into this.
Thanx to George for Breakfast, it was GREAT, ons sal sorg dat jy volgende jaar weer daar is.

The Hilux Team won the reward for the best Marshals and we also won the last price for the driving part.
It was great fun and thank you for everybody who made it a GRRRRRReat day

We did not have many Hilux spectators and I would like to thank the See family - Johannes van die See, Meisie van die See and Kinders van die See who
came all the way from Langebaan to support their team. That is the spirit. Laat ons Weskusser julle slaapstadters wys hoe word dit gedoen.

I gave my camera to Mr G (George) for the day and he took more than 500 pictures.
I will put all of it on a DVD (if it fits) and give it to Ciske. The guys who wants a free copy can collect from Ciske at Gomad.

Here are some of the pics. My head goes into a spin if I try to select the best so I just randomly selected some of the pics.

A NIKON Moment !!!!

Setting up the obstacle

ChrisF · Post by **ChrisF** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:20 pm

Congrats to the HILUX BOYS and gals.

The day went well and I doubt anybody has any reason to complain.

The Hilux club even won a couple of prices, and a good number of lucky draw prizes as well.

PS - I will be posting a lot more pictures on the 4x4Community forum, under the Western Cape section

Johannes van die See · Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:53 pm

Nog n lekker dag saam met nog n paar lekker manne wat ek vir die eerste keer van gesig tot gesig kon ontmoet.
Dankie vir die uitnodiging manne! Ek ondersteun julle enige tyd, maar volgende keer wil ek saam ry.

Groete uit die weskus.

Behalwe nou vir ChrisF wat darem wakker is, is dit nie snaaks dat dit die mense is wat die verste ry wat eerste post nie?
Die Kapenaars is seker so moeg van vroeg opstaan dat hulle al gaan inkruip het.

aag nee .... nie besef jy was daar nie. Het nog nie die geleentheid gehad om n gesig by jou naam te sit nie. Wys maar uit op die foto, asseblief.

en JA, dit was n bakgat dag !!

ChrisF · Post by **ChrisF** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 10:03 pm

Pieter ek het eers n paar uur gevat om so 50+ fotos uit te kies en te edit.

MAAR, ek het darem eerste HIER gepost, voor ek die groot klomp fotos of 4x4Community gaan post het.

Ek sal more die res van die fotos deur werk (HOPELIK), en dan wil ek begin speel met die "time-lapse" fotos wat geneem het - ek het n kamera opgestel om van 5:30 af elke 90 sekondes n foto te neem, met n wye hoek lens. Dit het die "storie" gedokumenteer van die LEE speelgat en hoe die eerste marshalls (NA 4x4Community) opgedaag, en dan hoe die bane form aangeneem het, en dan stuks gewys hoe die storie sy loop geneem het. Ek het eers na 5 in die middag die kamera gestop, teen die tyd was dit nog net FAC wat by hul hindernis was. Die idee is om die fotos nou te omskep in n kort video.

WEET IEMAND HOE OM DIT TE DOEN ? :) Dis die eerste keer wat ek dit doen, wel probeer om dit te doen ....

Post by **pietpetoors** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 10:21 pm

MAAR, ek het darem eerste HIER gepost,

Dis goed om dit te hoor, jy word juis met valk oë dopgehou veral omdat jy vandag verkeerde hemp gedra het

Aangeaande daai video, dit klink nogals na 'n blink gedagte.
Ek dink Cassie kan dalk help met die antwoord, hy is skerp met die video goed.

Casper, oor na jou ..........................

Dankie vir al die pics so ver, sien uit na die res

Post by **george** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:15 pm

Thanx aan almal dit was great

Lekker om almal te ontmoet.
Also a special thanks to mr B

You did a great job on the obstacle.

To be honest I was a bit disappointing when we came last. BUT after some reflection I realise that this was a fun day and the majority of points was incurred by doing the extra things like throwing an egg at Bryce Lawrence(Well done Boetie),answering silly questions :shifty: etc.
Our drivers did a great job

Since I had to take some pics.I followed our drivers to a few obstacle and have to commend them on the driving skills

If anything we lost point on all the extra activities. But anyhows chin up it was a GREAT day.Thanx to all. Especially Ciske

aai boet. :)

Ek het mos begin met die Suzuki Jimny. En dit was die 4x4Community wat my ingetrek het in die leefstyl. In 2009 het hulle my ook betrek by dieselfde event, toe was dit by Dirt and Dust.

n Maand of wat later het ons aangesluit by 4WDC-WC - vir die toere wat hulle aanbied.

Dit was eers mid 2010 wat ek my Hilux aangeskaf het, en toe het aktief begin deelneem hier, en later selfs aangesluit by die klub.

Maar toe die 4x4Community manne my vra om weer deel te wees van die span vir 2010 was dit n "no brainer". MENS, het die manne van 4WDC-WC my uitgekyk in 2010 !

Ek was al in Januarie 2011 gevra om weer deel te wees van die 4x4Community se span vir die 2011 event ... (gelukkig was daar genoeg ander marshalls, so ek het slegs foto's geneem). Maar die manne van die 4WDC-WC het my "goed uitgekyk" .... :)

Ten minste was die Hilux manne darem nie "te kwaai" met my nie. :)

PS - omtrent 70% van die 4x4Community se drywers en marchalls is ook lede van die 4WDC - WC.

Andre du preez · Post by **Andre du preez** » Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:55 pm

Wil graag begin om regtig baie dankie te se vir al die Hilux manne. Dit was so lekker om deel te wees van so lekker groep. Dit was vir my 'n eerste om aan so iets deel te neem. Ek moet sê na die dag was ek regtig by ek was daar, en ek sal volgende jaar weer daar wees.

ASB. vir al die manne wat dit nie kon maak nie, boek die een vir volgende keur. Ons het nie te veel foto's geneem nie maar hier is 'n paar.
