Moegatle 9-11 March

Post by Alex Roux »

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 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 :lol: :lol: ( bow shackle)- Charlie took this as his troll was experiencing hunger pangs (Fuel starvation)
• Windgat :lol: :lol: (Tyre deflator) - Rod took this one. Almost stock GQ went through every obstacle with ease.
• Jammergat :lol: :lol: ( 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 :woo: and Driko :woo: who successfully got to the top of this obstacle.
Klip Drif – Well done to Alex :woo: and Grant :woo: – A tough obstacle.
Sorry to De Villiers, who broke down here.

It was a great weekend and my thanks to all who participated. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
