Ramrod Posted November 20, 2015 Share Any hubbers ever used the "drive your car from the start to the finish" service??? That is dropping your car off at the start and then having someone drive it to the finish. Would you recommend it, we may have to use it next year and in two minds about it. I have used it 3 times. I have never had any issues but have friends who have had issues. It is very convenient though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDL Posted November 21, 2015 Share I have used it 3 times. I have never had any issues but have friends who have had issues. It is very convenient thoughWhat was the cost? Why type of issues have your friends had? Any info appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramrod Posted November 22, 2015 Share I can't remember the cost exactly but it is fairly pricy. About R800 or so but it does go to charity. I have heard of items being stolen out the car. My mate had a rim on his sirocco badly damaged. When checking the speed his vehicle was travelling at using his tracker the vehicle had clocked speeds in excess of 160kph.

GLuvsMtb Posted November 22, 2015 Share Leave a small hamper with a few snacks to the driver with a note reminding him that he is driving someone elses car and that the car is fitted with a gps, and that if your gps log indicates any form of speeding, that you will take it up with the orginisers and potentially the traffic dept. nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted November 22, 2015 Share I USED to use the service until I got a phone call from them asking me did I have a problem before with the transmission ??? I said never the car has like 20 000km and I obviously drove it to the parking area trouble free,,,, "ok, sorry then you will have to get the vehicle towed the transmission is shot" I ask why ???The lady said when the put it in gear it doesn't drive, a day later I ask must I organize a roll back to come fetch it as it is an auto, towing is not possible, they said what car???? There are no cars in the lot..........the morning of day 3 I eventually got hold of the lady I first spoke to.....ohhhhh laugh laugh they figured out the hand brake was on, that's why it couldn't drive, that took them 2 days to figure out,,, it's not higher grade it's a normal hand brake, if that's the level of drivers I'll make another plan rather if I ever do sani again nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When checking the speed his vehicle was travelling at using his tracker the vehicle had clocked speeds in excess of 160kph. I've used shuttles at 9/10 stage races without issue. Guess that's why you have insurance ya know. Don't leave values in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squier Posted January 18, 2016 Share Quite curious to see what's going to happen with the new route. Have heard rumours of Baby Heart Rate and Heart Rate hill coming back for Day 3 and the old singletrack climb going to the top of Nandos. Whatever it is, seems like there'll be some changes to make it a tad tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
