Rugby,

If you are not a Bulls supporter watch out for the "blue Bennie bug" he is particularly miffed because the B team did not pull it off this year :lol

Welcome Papa Joe,

Sounds like we can learn a lot from you and your experience in both vehicle and trail.

You have definately come to the right place to gain more knowledge and friends.

May your stay be an experience and may your experience be why you stay

[Papa Joe]

Niel - Hi again, shhhhhh, I love what Rassie did for the Cheetah's, (lights, boards, on the roof stuff, ... think out of the box !)
Challenge the status quo: "Only dead fish go with the flow"), hence you now know where my support lies !!! VRYSTAAT. [Bennie, the Bulls are good, but this was not their year ... AGAIN !]

Hopefully Rassie can do it for the Stormers too, as that is where my support MUST lie, as I AM a Capie. (Born & bred op 'n plaas, maar nou 'n dorpie.)

Scooter - Tx. I am never to old, ... to learn. (But, have definately paid my fair share of school fees though.)

Chat soon & tx.
