Hey! you know how many grocery bags i can fit in mine!,....thats why i never let the girlfriend take mine to the mall china! :confused:

Dave,cool pics bro. Typical highveld winter dust, i dont miss that though! :biggrin: sometimes its the best to just go with one or two vehicles, as you can take as long as you like,or as quick as you like, without the pressures of a big group. i actually prefer this, but each to their own i say.

I gotta get out next weekend now, show you highveld okes all about it . :biggrin:

How'd you find the tyres and what pressures dod you run? the troll is looking mean boet!

Hi Dave the front bumper on the GQ looks extremely familiar :rolling: , do you still have standard shocks and coils on GQ. Lovely to see the old and young flexing muscles together

Are those excaliburs on the side I see or is this a photo trick?

Did they get any damage?

PS: Next time someone goes to de Wildt: please let me know.
May the road be long.. and dirty.
