Hi Fireman,

Welcome to our forum!

The website seems to have problems, I also just get some text and then a long blank brown page, with frames on it but nothing else.

Using FF, haven't tried using IE yet.

It is broken as far as Firefox is concerned, yet seems to work fine with Internet Explorer....

Hi Jaco and welcome to the forum and enjoy.

Is the 4x4cape "club" they group that "operate from Graaf's farm (Degrendel) :?:If so can a non member (like myself) join you when playing at Degrendel again :?: . I was driving around in the new development and saw a few 4x4's up on the hill and by the look of things they seemed to have lots of fun :!:

Yes, it's the group you'll see at De Grendel Wine farm. If one of the members sign you in for the day your wellcome.
It was a once in a life time trip, but maybe a twice (as soon as they finished the main road). Next time we will do Ruacana to Fos de Cunene (river mouth) and then all the way up the coast until time runs out. That may be only in about 2 years time. Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe needs to be visited first.

Jaco, I don't see an "event" plnned for De Grendel again this year or do you just go as you wish? I am really interrested in driving it since it is so close to where I stay. I am sure that Johan, Jaco and some of the others will join as well (if ok with you guys). Pls let me know. Join us for drinks on the 30th and we can chat face to face. :D

There's usually no "planned" outing on Saturdays, those who rock rock up, usually at about +- 14h00. I would suggest be at the security gate, they will tell you where to go if members are there (I won't).
