Stefan,

Sit hom by - ek kom definitief as die GROOT LUS my nou nie pak en ek die veeeeertes invaar teen daardie tyd nie. Dis miskien ook 'n goeie ding dat die "ou" Outomatiese manne my dan 'n bietjie touwys kan maak.

Could not get/see even one low Km 4.8 GL in a good condition and to my liking in almost 2 months - not even close. They are truly scarce and the guys who have one cling to them like you won't believe. Enjoy it guys.

I therefore did what I thought was the unthinkable and got me-self a 4.8 GRX (silver). Signed, Sealed and will be on its way to Cpt (from Nissan Witbank) to arrive here early next week. Unfortunately already have other commitments otherwise would have fetched it myself. Was there last week and saw it at the dealer. Then in to fit a few "goodies" and I hope I can have it by next week Friday :pray: The only thing I battle to get is either BFG AT's or Coopers ST's in size 285/70/R17 as both are out of stock with a waiting period 4 to 6 weeks !! Now I'm freak'n excited and can't wait anymore !!!

Thanks for all your inputs and help in this regard - it is much appreciated - and I hope all you Auto promoters (and myself :think:) is right !!!

Ek geniet hom al klaar - My vrou het aangebied om hom Vrydag in Jhb te gaan haal en het Saterdag net voor die Bokke se game hier aangekom. Ek is verras met die petrolverbruik. Sy het (afhangende watter deel vd pad, hoe vinnig sy gery het - tussen 120 en 140 kmh etc, etc) in die 3x se stop waar sy die details neergeskryf het onderskeidelik 5.49km/l, 6.34km/l en 6.72km/l gekry. Ek weet dat met die groter bande wat kom en die ander "goodies" dit minder sal wees maar ek is nogals beindruk met sy verbruik ? Kan nou net nie meer wag vir sy veranderinge nie.

Daar is twee items wat nerens beskikbaar is nie en ek kyk nog waar ek dit vinniger kan "source": As enigiemand weet van waar ek miskien vinniger gehelp kan word sal ek dit baie waardeer.
BFG 285/70R17 AT's (4 tot 6 weke) !?
OME Konstante 200kg rear Coils - ( 3 tot 4 weke)
Sal weer foto's post as verandering gedoen is.

I bought the BFG's at Autowiel in Centurion couple weeks back - they had stock and fitted immediately, why not call them - speak to Leon.

Thanks Chris,

I phoned them this morning (Piet also suggested to contact them) but they too are out of stock. Seems like they are quite on the ball (very friendly and helpful).

Als reg oom Mac - nee ek het nog nie 'n naam nie. Die Katvis storie is maar 'n seding wat ek het as ek verskriklik bly en dankbaar is as ek iets kry wat ek so lankal in die oog het !!

Dankie ook vir die wense van "honnerde duisende vreugdevolle kilo's" - ek en hy sal mooi loop. Ek sal hom, en hy sal my, baie mooi, afgelee en onbegaanbare plekke gaan wys vorentoe. Ek sal hom die nodige kos (petrol) gee en hy sal my sy krag, vernuf en betroubaarheid gee - Jissie nou is ek opgewonde !!
