Did they come out in Yellow out there, or is it a "fade job"?
Never seen the yellow before!

Nope Anton, I surmise it was a standard product from Botswana issue ??? Not really sure. Am inquisitive though....
There's a few features, on my SUV, that are also missing/present, unlike the SA content, ie. no side marker lights, no tail lamps in the bumper, no rear windscreen wiper, simpler cloth seats

, obviously the 2.5 Tdi variant, instead of the 2.8 Tdi (wouldn't mind a bit more power/torque - though the economy is around 8.0-9.5 km/lt ??? - don't know how that compares).
It's very addictive to kit-out though...... once you get started = difficult to stop

The bots discussion is interesting, but to get back to the OP...
We need commitment, not "I might be there" We have to pay in advance for this trail, and I will be asking for payments in the next few days.

We might postpone this event and then make it a Xmas gathering early December before the holidays.... Might get a better showing. It would be nice to have a group of 12 to 15 vehicles.
Nico.... send us your diary so we can slot you in

Hi Simon B. Is the GTG still happening on the 19th? I had indicated that I would be able to attend, if still on

Simon, I'm off this weekend. Take every second weekend from this one and voile, that's when I'm off.
PS. I'm not going through water again.

Pajero is not happy with water!

- Stuck in the mud!

hmmm water + mud... Very risky. I guess you had your recovery straps attached before entering, but I do not see them?
