Moegatle 9-11 March
What fun!!
Thanks to everyone for an awesome weekend. After a highly stressful couple of weeks at work, this was exactly what the doctor ordered for me.
Great sports on the track and great social afterwards.
Johnboy beware, photos are coming...
I must have bumped my steering oil pipe somewhere. On the way back I started hearing a groaning / screaching noise when turning the wheel and oil leaking. Engine oil was still full. Topped up the steering oil after discussing with a competent petrol jockey. The groaning disappeared and is still gone after reaching home in Jhb. I cannot find the leak though. Will have it checked out later this week.
How serious could this be?

Hi, I agree with Alex 100% Moegatle was awesome. Just need to get my Delights flatulance and hiccups sorted and I can PLAY again. Thanks everyone that organised, the kids had a ball as well.

Re: Moegatle 9-11 March
Hi Gents,
A great time was held by all. Hope this gives you some insight on what a Nissan can do. All of us found ourselves tested at some point and this is why I love Moegatle. (Busy with the next booking).Twelve cars arrived and all twelve finished, some with a bit of damage.
On Saturday night a price giving was held for the following categories
• Sukkelgat
( bow shackle)- Charlie took this as his troll was experiencing hunger pangs (Fuel starvation)
• Windgat
(Tyre deflator) - Rod took this one. Almost stock GQ went through every obstacle with ease.
• Jammergat
( Tietie bottle) - After a lot of spinning and dust, as well as comments like Mofie patrol, and k^k diesel, Nico took this one.
Highlights,
Koos se Klip – well done to Rod
and Driko
who successfully got to the top of this obstacle.
Klip Drif – Well done to Alex
and Grant
– A tough obstacle.
Sorry to De Villiers, who broke down here.
It was a great weekend and my thanks to all who participated.

Nelson,
It's not stupidity it is called experiance at a cost.
