Klerksdorp GTG!!
Hey North-Westerners,
We're planning our very first official Klerksdorp GTG on Saturday, 4th July. The idea is to meet one another and put faces to names, and to discuss local venues for us to flex our Hilux's articulation slightly.
Please view the following topic on the Community Forum - the chat started there so let's keep it in one place.

Re: Klerksdorp GTG!!
Bretton, the thread comes from the comunity forum ... I have'nt checked, but I think thye responses will be there.
And if no-one attends, we'll be there in 'spirit' to support Eric
P.S.
Bretton, 'spirit' in this context does not mean your 18 YR Glenfiddich

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Klerksdorp GTG!!
Sure Richard... that sad thing is that those fuel consumption stats aren't all that far off the 4Y's...
And you get a huge load more power for a bit more fuel consumption... I think the extra costs have more to do with the other stuff the breaks... like gearboxes... engine mounts... half shafts... prop shafts... etc...
Hopefully I'll be able to meet a few of the up-country guys on this years family visit trek to JHB... that would be great!
Andy that spirit is too expensive to waste... but your birthday warranted a half tot! Funny your bday was actually celebrated country wide....

Re: Klerksdorp GTG!!
Date has been changed to either the last weekend in July, or the first w/e in August. But with this cold weather, I'm also prepared to wait it out a bit...
I did go visit the suggested new restaurant tho', had a nice fillet steak as well, but the place was freezing as it is not really fully enclosed yet.
