Congrats Roy,


I have opted for TJM, after using OME and found them to be not as choppy and far more progressive. I do have the 110 mm competition coils which afer a far smoother ride.

Great news is that they are now available in SA and not a special import.

I packed the car 3 times, "Honey is that all?", "Yes"..."Oh wait here's the pram, the feeding chair..." repeat 3x.
And this wasn't the last of it...

Getting to Warmbaths on the highway I filled up to calc the fuel. Using CCx2 (cruise and climate) we averaged 14.2l/100km (7.04km/l)

Overall average including game drives and bank was about 17.8l/100km. On game drives it was about 23l/100km. (I've calibrated the first part of my tank...)
