Just to bring some closure to the thread. With the comments, opinions and advice from this thread (tks all) and the knowledge of the CAR magazines' May 2005 "budget shootout" my mind was kinda made up. Limited options presented quite a challenge :problem: : the fact that its for my daughte...

Renier its for a girl. For a boy I guess a Hilux would be ideal they'll all envy him on campus LOL

yotaman

All good sensible comments and opinions. Yes, safety and budget is definitely a factor. I think its going to be between the Getz and the Tazz.

yotaman

Tks for the opinions guys it really help a lot:thumbup:

yotaman

Need a student car: Was wondering which in your view is best other than the Tazz. Daihatsu Charade - between 2005 and 2007 model - I like its Toyota support/sharing Hyhundai Getz Ford Ka Hyhundai Atos Would be most grateful for any opinions. If you have something for sale please let me know :drool:

Same thing happened to me when someone wanted my banking details to deposit money without asking for any details on the Blackberry I advertised. When I refused he said he would bring the cash the next day but he never showed up. I guess I'm just too old school and perhaps too suspicious :problem:

yotaman

Good questions. Consider phoning the Natal Parks board they'll give you all the latest details

Frontrunner

My guess is that it would set you back about 3-4k. Consider phoning a second hand canopy dealer to ascertain a price for a respray or they may even be interested to barter it.

Our next stop was at the fabulous Doringkloof park. Its a clean and neat camping resort with 220v, very clean ablutions, braai areas, the works! There's even a little dam with some Kurper in. This place should be high up on any camper's "Baviaans list" We stayed 2 nights there in spite of ...

Absolutely in agreement

Camping at "Oom Piet se Staning". Although the camp offers nice and plenty shady sites, there's no 220v power (which we don't mind at all) and ablutions (gas) which are basic but derelict in most sections. There's also quite a few old rigged caravans for rent scattered all over for those w...

Lyk regtig lekker. Ek het al gehoor mense laat le n rubber slang of twee rond om ape en jaane skrik te maak. Ek het dit probeer met blou ape maar dit het skeinbaar net die eerste dag van nut gewees. Nog nie met Bobbejane dit probeer nie. Ai ek glo hulle kan n mens se naweek lelik "omkrap"

Those little 12 V kettles are useless save if you have lots of time and use it for what they are intended. During the early morning hours on the road and U have no time to stop, you fill it up plug it in and forget about coffee for 20 - 30 minutes. After this time SWAMBO gets out the mugs, condense ...

Planning to visist St Lucia over the Easter W/end. Can anyone tell me if the Mouth is open? Also, any specific fishing fishing spots that can be recommended and some 4x4 day trips perhaps? Last time I visited this gem of a place was when one could still traverse its beaches with a 4x4 vehicle
