Re: A Christmas Gift for Myself
Baie mooi - jy sal nie spyt wees nie want as 'n Patrol eers in jou bloed is raak jy nie sommer van hom ontslae nie.
Enigste nadeel is dat 4x4 nou te maklik raak

Re: A Christmas Gift for Myself
Ekt 'n vraag vir julle manne: Ek en my vrou is nou al 2 weke op reis met die Patrol. 2 weke terug het ons begin in Noord Natal by my skoonouers en ons het Normandienpas gaan ry. Dis normaal baie maklik om te ry en dis nie 'n pas wat regtig 4x4 vereis in my opinie nie. Net toe ons bo kom en by die ark staan het daar 'n wolkbreuk losgebars wat ek lanklaas beleef het. Heelbo was dit so spierwit dat ek nie 2 meter voor my kon sien nie. Soos die ouens weet wat al daar gery het, is die area tussen Normandienpas en Mullerspas beeldskoon en uit 'n sprokiesverhaal, die klein stroompies en imposante heuwels en berge is uit 'n ander wereld. Op die dag het die reen gegooi en dit was 'n reuse wolkbreuk. Ons het ook deur 2 haelstorms gery wat meer as 'n halfuur geduur het. Al daai stroompies het ontaard in vloedende riviere wat bogrond in hordes die pad afgebring het. Daar was elke kilometer omtrent 'n waterkruising en baie van die sementbrue was oorstroom so dit was senuweeagtig. Ek het die trol in low 2 gesit en een stroom na die ander deurgesteek. Die water was diep op meeste kruisings en die volgende dag met karwas het ek grond en modder bo op die onderstel gekry. Die diepte was dus minstens halfpad teen die deur op. DIe remligte agter het water in gehad. My filosofie is altyd om modder en water te vermy sover moontlik. In die geval onvermybaar. Sou julle manne voorstel dat mens die diffs, ratkas en transfercase se olies moet vervang en seels laat nagaan wanner terug by die huis?
Dankie
Johann
