    I dont mind the chili mix as a base to start with. Add a few extra spices to it and some peri peri and it comes out pretty lekker.
  3. Is it me or does anyone else see the weird smiling face in that first pic?
  4. Don't know why, but suddenly soccer has become my new favorite sport to watch...

    I don't use the light at all. I find the fan is more than enough to dry the meat to my liking and a reasonable time period (about 4 days). This gets the outside really nice but still keeps the inside a little wet. I like it when it's just a little bit wet but not too much.

    I sprinkle a little bit of peri peri with the chili crown national as dont find it too hot, not that i like it really hot anyways. Ibtried their traditional mix and its actually really nice, good for the kiddies.

    You are low on lemos..hahaha....come to think of it, I have struggled to get lemos or anything other than Orange. They have a limited edition one a while back. Something like Orange lime and it was lekker but haven't seen it again
  8. Wow, that took me a long time to see it. Amazing camouflage
  9. That oak just makes everything look so easy, not fair that one person has so much talent...lol...there was some wooden planks before the drop off where i hit the dirt.
  10. Today i did a skills lesson with Peach at Hakahana, first time on enduro lines...holeee sheeet...some hectic stuff. Got the first drop off that had and rolled in ok but then as soon as i landed, the front tyre seemed to wash out and i hit the dirt hard, it hurt. Got back ul and did it a few more times which went without incident. We then went through some other cool flowy stuff and came to this massive drop off that my heart pound and nerves tingle. Attached some bad quality pics that do that thing no justice at all. I dropped in and the ground just completely fell away for what felt like minutes until i hit the ground and skidded forward, geez, my heart was pounding hard..hahah...proceeded to do it a few more times and it got better. We then eneded off with some jumps which again is not part of my skills profile but gave it a go. The forst two or so were sketchy but then i was getting used to the feeling of being in the air and jumped one or two good ones. My last jump was superb, i got some good, controlled air and landed spot on to hit the next one even higher and landed it perfectly, smiling galore. Left it on that one. Loved that sort of riding, good fun
  11. That kid got some evil in her....lol

  13. Looking for a top cap for a 1.5 inch stem.
  14. My skate shoes have been showing signs of wear underneath from the pins of the pedals for a while and decided a new pair is in order. After getting the wrong size (same shoes for sale in the classifieds, bargain price ) , I ordered the right size. Hope they as good as everyone says.
  15. I'm using the gear min watch face and the sunset/sunrise time has been correct but now it is showing that sunrise is at 12:34 and sunset at 01:31. I was overseas recently so maybe it calibrated to when I was there? How do I get it to reset to Souf Afica?
  16. Same here but I think the glass screen is attached to this "ring"
  17. Ive read the sand papering it down to the metal but dont want to do that or remove it. Oh well, adds character
  18. Managed to get a scratch on the bezel of my F3 Sapphire today, im sad about it. Any ideas how to remove scratches or at least make them show less? Maybe a polish?

    I have been wanting to try make some dry wors but wasn't sure if i needed to mix some wors up and then try to pack it in skin. So you can just buy regular wors from the butcher and then let it dry for a few days?
  20. Thats quite a job but will have to check the fuel line and see if i can see anything. Its so pooh as it happens intermittently and taken it to an electrician and they found nothing.
  21. Ive still been having periodic problems with the Tazz where it will just cut out while driving. Sometimes it chuggs a little before cutting out and other times it just dies. Happened to me this morning in Edenvale. I had the bonnet open and inspecting the engine like i knew what i was looking for to fix it. Then all of a sudden this rather shady, smelly, homeless looking character come up to me and said "Hi, im Rob and im a mechanic, can i take a look". Hesitant, i said sure. Suddenly this Rob chap starting yanking out the fuses to check, the taking out out the air filter and pulling out the fule line and pressing the accelerator cable a few times and then suddenty put the intake petrol line in his mouth and started sucking. I though this oak was simply looking for a cheap petrol high but then he sucked out some petrol in him mouth, spat it in the carb and told me to try start it. The car started first time, i was amazed. He said that there was an air bubble or air lock in the fuel line as he felt the bubbles/air as he was sucking on the line. Having a quick chat to him he said he was a qualified diesel and petrol mechanic and cant find work, he has been unemployed for over two years. I was extremely grateful for his helped, thank him and he said no problem and walked off. What an experience. Now, any idea what cuases air block in the fuel line that stips air getting into the carb?
