...................Turning circle = Serengeti Plains...................but I love mine, even though I am now seriously considering buying something else. I looked at the new Defender and decided that it is way too larney a car for what I want to do with mine.

Fixed it for you

Personally, I'm glad the guy who keeps our planes flying scores a 9 and not a 6.

My limo ride: Got off the train from Washington DC at Grand Centra in New York. We were waiting for a cab to catch a ride to our hotel. No cabs, all full or ignored us. Big fat limo parked at the curb a few feet away from us. Driver asked where we were from after he heard the wife and I speak in Afrikaans. South Africa my man! You know Nelson Mandela? I said no, but wouldn't mind meeting him! Hop in he said, I've never had a South African passenger. Hey, I don't have money for a limo ride. No, he said, I'll give you a ride for free! Add it to Mandelas tab! I'm bored and my boss won't need me for another hour or two! We were taken to our hotel in style! Even have a picture of us sticking our heads out the sunroof like tourists!

I refuse to answer questions and use my right to silence so as to not incriminate myself.

It's the goodies in her bookcase that is exciting people.

Vasbyt Hayley I'll keep my fingers crossed for your husband and the whole family. I know the hospital situation is very stressful at the moment, but it truly is the only way hospitals can still function more or less normally. Without those precautions, the hospital staff are the first to contract Covid and then the service collapses. I know it doesn't make it any easier for you, but use technology to the maximum to keep contact. Edit: Somewhere in the back of my head I seem to recall that you are in the medical field. If that's the case, sorry, you know all this already.

I heard it is not at all easy to get a sub 3 hour download unless you start in a fast bunch (Just kidding of course)

Thanks Duane, I feel better already

Duane, REALLY, this is NOT what I want to hear after a week and a Friday like this! I need to hear how k*k things are for EVERYONE else!

PLEASE stay off the N2, M3 and M5 freeway sections where riding is illegal. It only causes trouble for the organizers who get push back from traffic authorities whe they want permission to run races. Your only real option is through Woodstock. Use M4 Main Road or M57 Liesbeek Park Way as far as Claremont, then M4 from there. Ride in a group and safety won't be an issue. Go early and traffic won't be an issue. Traffic lights will stop you now and then, so forget about doing a personal best this time. It is not the year for that. My 2c

I see that when you need a little break to recover from a few thousand kilometre tour, you sommer go ride up to the Mast.

During that whole World Cup Lomu not once got around, through or over Small, that's of course if my memory serves me right. But then I'm a very bad TV spectator, with a poor rugby knowledge and an even worse memory, so i fully expect some sharpie to post a video shortly to prove me wrong (My father jokingly threatened to disown me for being such a bad rugby fan, but it is his fault. As a young kid he took me to my first international game during the 1970something Lions tour and we lost 100 nil. I never quite recovered from that game of kick offs and tries between the posts.)

..........and there I always thought Lomu never fully recovered from getting tackled so often and never getting past a guy so Small.

Are we getting virtual goody bags?

Beer and sunburn afterwards?

Most of those aren't even Hiluxes. 5 are Land Cruisers

Nearly killed myself once during a Langebaan to Saldana Downwind Dash. Ended up getting dragged out of the drink by the navy for a very humiliating drop off in Saldana with an armful of broken bits of windsurfer and a very bruised ego.

I have always enjoyed printmaking, but with lino or woodcut. It is a very therapeutic , almost a meditative process. This is my first attempt at drypoint etching. Scratching the surface..............easy peasy..............printing............not so easy. Too much ink, too little ink, too much pressure, not enough pressure, paper too rough, too smooth, too dry, too wet...........but I got this one to work for me! Without investing in a press that cost as much as a decent bike! But then, I got an unintentional fingerprint in the top right corner..............perhaps I'll just not sign it and pretend I meant to!?

"It's a grand way to spend a life" Indeed it is! Such a beautiful and wild place. Thanks for sharing Dale.

Great bar tape, both in the looks and fuction departments

That why you put brandy in to dilute it?

I always felt Coca Cola was too sweet.

I have planned for years to do a downwind dash up the West Coast. Wait for a MASSIVE Southeaster, ride like a scalded cat from Cape Town to Langebaan. Get the Mrs to pick me up with the car. Maybe I'll finally do it this year?! (I have never been on a totally downwind ride........many a totally UPwind ride though...... )
