Who remembers?

OOhhh, that looks like fun. I am sure you have tons of memories of the restoration. 

Wasn't fun all the way though. You run into a lot of problems and hick ups as you go along. There were also the odd argument and some frustrations. But yeah, good memories galore ! 

[johnson]

you okes are looking at the wrong thing ........ "farmers". We are all farmers! Between us all we have ploughed lots of land.

 

Where is your farm and when can we come stay and how much single track do you have ? Ummm what I mean is do you need help with plouging?

Ha-ha ! Sorry, no farm here. My Dad grew up on the farm and my Oupa was a proper Boer ! I'm a dorps japie !

Aha ! '95 ! Flyhalf's that looks like people, not juiced up body builders

Apparently my dad had an Anglia in his young days, of course that was before I was born

 

And my one uncle had a Capri

I've got a capri. 1972 3 litre GT. Not too many years ago it could be a daily drive if I wanted to. But now I have retired her till I got time to do some upgrades. Majority of the stuff has been bought already. Just need to build/fit it all.

but the one serious loose cannon was (bad) Brad

this tjaaina

iniscing about way back when.

It seems that first season, with ‘Waka Waka’ Ferdinand Rabie and Janine ‘The Cucumber Crusher’ Orderson, really did capture the nation’s attention.

That also had quite a bit to do with ‘Bad’ Brad Wood, whose onscreen meltdowns sent ratings soaring through the roof.

That was all fun and games, except in the years since then he’s been living up that name. This from IOL back in 2011:

Former reality TV star Bradford “Bad Brad” Wood [and four others] were tried on four charges of murder and five of attempted murder after a violent gunfight against illegal miners at the Aurora Mine in Benoni last year…

“I’m glad justice has been served, but four people still died,” said Wood after the verdict. “Those people had brothers, mothers… we’re all going to live with this for the rest of our lives.”

Wood, wearing an Evil Eye necklace, said he was moving away from security, after his stint at Aurora Empowerment Systems had left him with a year of legal woes.

Had one of those as well. It got stolen from my driveway. Only had it for a few weeks. Was a 2 door. Was so angry about that one. I wanted to get into historic racing. Found a old couple near me selling this 1969 mk1. I go see them, they were the only owners. The guy sommer tells me he feels bad asking R3000 for the car as he paid R750 in 1969 brand new. I said give me 30 min and I will have the cash for you. I then bought an 2 litre pinto motor from the UK(that's the class I wanted to race in) and the same day I got informed the motor had arrived and I could pick it up the car got stolen. Sat with a motor and no car.
