Berakah 1 Dec 2007 weekend
My first real outing was a ball.
I just want to show a few photo's of the weekend.
My friend has most of the photo's on his camera, so I'll post more later.
Bennie, if you have photo's, please add them. I don't have much, most of Wade and myself.
One of the highlights was Wade that went up Rhino 3 quarters of the way.
Had he taken more time he would've made it all the way.
Seems the general consensus is that Rhino is really only for vehicles with front and rear lockers and very good ground clearance.
Wade (iHilux) did it with his standard rear locker 2.5 D4D double cab, with 30" Coopers.
BTW, Wade consumed more beer than his Hilux consumed diesel on his trip from Bloem to Berakah
This is me and Wade playing.

I'll get more photo's later.

Re: Berakah 1 Dec 2007 weekend
Berakah is certainly a lot greener now than in Winter when I was there. Everything was a dirty, dusty brown. You guys had fun, but remind never to ride with Wade...

Re: Berakah 1 Dec 2007 weekend
A fantastic weekend, we all had great fun, and it was lekka meeting all the new guys...... Riaan, glad you guys could make it, and hope you had heaps of fun.......

I need to get some pics off the video, so may take a day or two before that happens........ hang in there.
-F_D, your'e more than welcome to drive with me anyday........ it is after all just a soft new Hilux........
note....... In all pics, I felt quite safe, and was quite comfortable that the Hilux was at all times well within it's capabilities

Re: Berakah 1 Dec 2007 weekend
Ai Niel. Ons het daai foto spesiaal geneem om te feature op die site! Ons voel bietjie uit tussen die ander Hilux'e
Wil jy he 4 wiele tussen die 8 moet in die lug wees of 8 uit 8?
As ek en Wade weer op dieselfde plek is dan doen ons dit vir jou, want ons kan want ons ry Hilux'e

Jy moet nie so voel nie, jy het mos n lux. Ek sien Wade het al begin oefen metr die wiele in die lug storie :D Ek het die naweek vir Cobus ontmoet (die bakkie wat spring se eienaar) en hy wou dit nie weer herhaal nie, pitty :roll:ToyX4 wrote:Ons het daai foto spesiaal geneem om te feature op die site!
