The right footwear

Post by ThysdJ »

Please wear the right footwear when you go out on the trail. Last weekend we were doing training at Welgelegen4x4 and I was wearing my Crocs.. (again).. here's what happened.

Took me almost a week to straighten the chassis and get the alignment right again... :twisted: :twisted:

Be careful out there... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Bretton I was pleasantly surprised by the Duster. A real hardcore offroader it aint, but t had no trouble getting up that hill, and it managed to get up some other hairy bits as well. All without bottoming out, and without a struggle. As a little runabout and to do some dirt road driving it would be perfect.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Jis Thys my maat... gelukkig het jy die eerste keer so stadig geval want as jy die eerste keer so hard soos die tweede keer geval het moes hulle jou dalk net daar af dra....:twisted:

Smaak my behalwe vir footwear sal jy dalk ook moet begin loer na 'n valhelmet ook :twisted:

Jokes asside... hoop die skade was net tydelik van aard tjomma

Eina Thys. Daai was 'n ordentlike val.

Maar moet nou nie weer jou crocs in die openbaar dra nie.
