Just to clarify, the picture entiteld "me Trol", also includes "me wife". Not to be confused between the two.
For may members, their Trol is their first wife. But the wife is still human, and not a trol!

Thanks. Die fotos is geneem op die grondpad wat verby Botlierskop loop, anderkant Mosselbaai. Die stukkie rivierloop was die enigste interessante deel, die res is 'n goeie toestand grondpad.
Hier's die spot op Google maps

She'll find this forum one day, and I suspect I'll pay for this brain fart then :redface:

Welcome Marco

Don't stress, you don't need experience anymore, cos you got a 'trol now! And like Cedric, I am also talking about the wheeled item.
