Re: eye-sore
You're a better man than me Garry - I want one but I wouldn't (couldn't) go through that to get it. Well done  |

Re: eye-sore
The accident did not damage any mech.parts,although I did manage to get the gearstick stuck in first gear afterwards.Walked home plus minus 20km @ 4 in the morning,middle of winter,****ed,in the most dangerous city in the world......Johannesburg!Needless to say I was sober by the time I got back home.(Never going to drink and drive again)Next morning went back to the car and found it vadalized.They used a knife to slice open the rear windscreen.

Re: eye-sore
Good looking after paint job.
Never seen an airfilter like yours, is it a special African super dust remover?
