Pity that Shorty missed the weekend on the mountain, but it looks really well fixed and ready for the open road again

What happened to Flip's car? Or rather, how did a rat eat it?

They flew into Cape Town for a few weeks. Paj sits quietly in garage minding its business. Rats move in and the rest is history.

Interior still needs some work though.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though. The main thing now is how does one prevent this rat/mice infestation again occurring?

Anyway, we are probably going way off topic, lets say it is the last continuance of the TiTD campfire talk still, then it might, just, make it on topic. ;)

Trip is over and done, so "around the fire" talk is surely permitted.

Long story: Frik bought a brand new SLK Mercedes to fulfill a life long ambition. Even had his garage carpeted for the occasion. He really liked the Merc, but I suspect the novelty didn't really last that long. Out goes Merc and in comes this Sexy new SWB.

Meanwhile Annette gets offered old wooden furniture from a family farm. This also gets stored in the garage (and Frik doesn't get to restoring them).

Perfect storm: Solitary garage, Pajero only comes out for the "occasion" (remember it replaced a SLK toy), carpet on the floor and old farm furniture in storage.

As of yesterday - Annette will have to look very far to find the old furniture and every conceivable vermin poison has been applied. The Jack Russel is still alive, so I assume Frik is carefull enough.

Hi

This trip really looks awesome! Ive been wanting to do this for some time now, pity i couldnt join this party.

Roelf, would you mind to disclose the location of the camp site or is it outside of public limits?

The whole TITD event is inside a nature reserve on privately held land.

I have an urge to find the following two stamp mill sites to include in next year's adventure.
