Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

haha... David... you are right, lots of black smoke and high revs work for the old Iron Maiden. I learnt a lot that day from you guys !!!

Desert trip , defnitief also on my bucket list !!! I must just now find the bucket to put the pula's for da petrol

Shalom

Hay Jules I thought your other nic name was sand lover haven't you got lots of that grainy stuff down your way??? LOL

Hi Ian we have aplenty sand but not the quietness and closeness to our Creator that one experience there

Shalom

Jules think that may depend if Cedric is with you or not! screaming oil burner with clouds of black smoke having to dig him out the sand ect ect

HAHA.... JA JA JA.... But, my Iron Maiden DID the Atlantis Dunes...... smoke and all and only got stuck on my very first dune, cause the wife was screaming as we were approaching the crest at speed..... I just lifted my foot off the smoke making pedal for a split second and that was enough to slow the Patrol enough to just have the front wheels hanging over the edge and the crest holding up the chassis..... And If my Patrol can do it.... then Ian you have no excuse my friend.... get your butt out the chair and go drive them dunes !!

My 4.5 BEAST can make it for sure just have to get rid of the desk on the end of the chain attached to my leg and then the driver can make it too !!!! PLEASE tell me it was not a TOYOTA that pulled you off the crest at Atlantis???

Haha.... no ways.... never.....had to do a bit of digging, and I think Laurence with a Hardbody gave me a tug back and I delicately plopped over the crest the second time.

I'm toying with the idea of driving the Patrol down to the Cape in December to visit my folks in Stellenbosch area. If I do, I will give our fellow Capetrollers a call for another spin around !!

Ian that bally desk is a buggar around the ankles hey?

Cedric I am also considering Skelmbos area in Dec/Jan

shalom

That sounds like a plan.... I will only know in a few months time regarding date for Dec, but I think it will be from around the middle of Dec till around 27th Dec. I just have too many projects happening at the moment to commit to anything....

Work is the curse of the drinking class
