Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

The white Patrol I have indicated to be Thabbies is wrong - that was Peet, here is Thabbies on the obstacle only he could master...

There was another obstacle that Thabbies did, which no other car could master yet.
That showed the importance of front lockers.

Ek dink baie van ons kan baie by Thabbies leer. Hy is verseker nie bang nie!!

WOW .... what a weekend !!!!

Yes this was technical, yes some were difficult, yes some were challenging...... but no damage to vehicles.....oops I lie.... I popped my tail light out again. I suppose it wouldn't be Moegatle without popping a taillight.... haha. But other than that all went VERY well!!!

By the time I cleaned out the dust and sprayed down the Iron Maiden yesterday evening, I was moeg (-atle), so I'll check out the pics and try upload the videos too.

I honestly believe that you missed a cracker of a trail if you missed this one out. It was great to have Thabbies and family and his friend ( Terrano), Greg, George, Alex and family as well as 2 other boys, that I think really enjoyed the days outing in the bush, Peet and Petri and as always Papa Smurf Grant and Smurfette Sonja !!!

Thank you for making it a successful weekend away !!

Jip what a saturday at moegatle , did some interesting climbs and decents that one would have looked twice at them and looked for another way round ,
the best was kept to last and the patrols climded "koos se klip" with ease , cedric even thought he could do it in two high with diff lock but we leave that story for the camp fire and a big high five goes to george in his hardbody which he had his front wheels high in the sky a few times going where the patrols were going .There was a terrano with us as well that did very well , lsd was not working ,but had a go at everything
Thanks to Grant for arranging the weekend and the rest of the Patroler that made it a great day
Till next time

Yes, me too very moeg (atle)
Can't wait for more pictures and some videos from Mrs Thabbies?

To all the latest victums of that tail light popping syndrome, I still have my plastic rear bumpers and tail lights at home, after I replaced it with steel corners.
Let me know if you are interested.

ha ha...thanks Alex...I might have to high "tail" it to you if I can't get my light back in....haha

I think it will go back in though

Let me kow what you think.

Gents,

What a great day. Love it when we all struggle a little. That is when we learn. SWAMBO went mad with the pics so I will have 5 drives with all the pics avaiavle for all of those who where there. The pics I have are just short of a gig. Attached are some pics of the day, and well doen to Cedric, Greg, Dion and Alex who drove up Koos se Klip.

Gents, More pics
