Briljant gestel!!

Dis die vinnigste vleis verkope wat ek in my lewe gesien het. 10 min en al daai vleis was verkoop. (Dis ook die vinnigste wat ek van 'n hoop geld ontslae geraak het
)

Don't forget the Fire Department approval.
If any chemicals are involved an EIA must be done at a cost of R250k upwards. This process takes anything from 1-2 years. In many cases where chemicals are involved the property has to be re-zoned. Now you are talking real money and more time.

Toppie

Sonder om die detail na te gaan sien ek nou net dat ek R1429.75 vir tol betaal het in Desember. Toe ek dit sien het ek ook gedink dis baie vir Durban toe en terug vanaf Rustenburg.
Ongelukkig mors julle , julle tyd met die banke. Jy moet elke keer vra vir 'n kwitansie

Donkey,
A word of warning (although too late). Parole conditions change with a wedding ring

Die probleem is dat die "locals" nie gaan voordeel trek nie. Die ivoor jagters, renoster horing- en leeu jagters gaan alles plat skiet. Dan praat ons nie eers van die opertunistiese kommersiele jagters wat al die bokke gaan uitroei vir wins nie. Dis so jammer!

Koos and Rita,
Thanks for organising a very enjoyable weekend.

Toppie

Ons sien baie uit na die volgende episode -moenie te lank wag nie

Toppie

Het nou net ons geldjies betaal
Toppie & Swambo

Toppie

Dave (Toppie) & Wilma sal ook daar wees. Wie of waar moet ons betaal?

Toppie

No points for stupidity

Toppie

Hoppy,

Thanks for the info. The problem with fitting a visco fan is that there is not sufficient space to fit it. I have fitted an aluminium fan, which did help. Any other suggestions,?

Thanks,
Dave

Toppie

I need your help. I am very frustrated by being fed BS by the mechanical workshop I installed a 3C turbo diesel engine into a Mitshibushi L300 Bakkie (Motorhome). The engine keeps on overheating. We did not change the gearbox and are still running the old petrol engine gearbox. I suspect that the ca...

Toppie

Ek was Vrydag aand vertel dat sy die SMS alreeds 4 keer gelees het. Toe ek by die huis kom het sy glad nie meer die humor daarin gesien nie

Toppie

Thanks for the info. We will try it

Regards,
Toppie

Toppie

I had a 3c Toyota turbo Diesel installed into my L300 motorhome. We are struggling with overheating. We have replaced the radiator with a 4 core model as well as installed a large electttric fan. It appears that the problem is air flow related. Any suggestions?

Toppie

Ek het 'n probleem gekry en sal dit ongelukkig nie meer Saterdag kan maak nie

Groete,
Toppie

Toppie

More Almal,

Ons wil ook graag saamgaan.

Toppie (Dave & Wilma)

Mark,
Die AHA leeg weeg 285kg.

Toppie

Ek het nie 'n bang haar op my kop nie, hulle het almal uitgeval

Toppie

I personally thought it was SWAMBO :evil:

Toppie

I have just weighed my Hilux fully packed for the Angolan trip. All in all with SWAMBO and myself we weighed in at 3375kg. This includes fuel and water. (still can't work out why she wants to take water if there is enough beer) The Specs state a GVM of 2730kg. A word of warning all these after-marke...

Toppie

Foksie,
Dis 'n lekker 4x4 roete. Dis net baie warm en SWAMBO se voete brand elke keer as sy die hekke moes oopmaak

Toppie

Going to Angola on 10/12/2010 and return 3/1/2010.

Toppie

En die naweek le nog ver

Toppie

The motorhome weighs around 1800kg, but is very unstable in the wind due to the large surface area.

It is unsafe to drive faster than 100km/h
My next project will be to sort out the suspension to make it more stable.

Toppie

My Mitshibushi L300 motorhome achieved a remarkable 3.5km/l from Rustenburg to BelaBela(Warmbad) and back. (Almost R1k for the trip)
I will install a 3C toyota motor with turbo charger tomorrow. What can I failry expect my fuel consumption to be

Toppie

Eric many thanks.
En jou Afrikaans is baie goed veral op die tegniese gebied

Toppie

Baie Geluk Mark.

Toppie

Baie Geluk Cassie

Toppie

If I fit the 3C motor would it be neccessary to change the gearbox as well.

Please advise your recommendations

Regards,

Toppie

Thanks for the info. The L300 develops 43kW and the 2c develops 65kW. If the 3C will fit I will have to change the gearbox as well- this will make a 22year old motorhome too expensive.

Do you have any other suggestions? I will appreciate it

Toppie

I purchased a L300 Mitshubusi motorhome. Stating that it is under powered is an exaggeration - it is powerless.

I want to fit a 2c Toyota motor with a turbo charger. I require the power and torque curves on this engine.
Please help

Toppie

'n Baie lekker dag -net lank as jy van Rustenburg af gekom het en dan weer moes terug ry Saterdag aand. Baie dankie aan al die organiseerders vir julle tyd en moeite.

Toppie

Pype,

Baie dankie vir die inligting. Ek het op my Nissan ARB diff-locks maar kon dit nie voor insit nie.

Ek sal beslis vir my 'n voorste diff-lock laat insit.

Toppie

Pype,

Kan jy 'n voor- locker vir 'n n uwe Hilux insit?

PS. Tegnies is ek nie goed nie - maar gatskuur briljant!

Toppie

Mark, Is this problem peculiar to Toyota? I have driven my Nissan for 8 years under similar circumstances without any problems. When the brakes are wet there will be a tempory brake failure but when they dry the brakes restore themselves. In all my travels I have never heard about brakes failing aft...

Toppie

Further investigation as to the cause of the brake failure during our recent Botswanan trip indicated that muddy water and sand accumulated inside the brake drum and acted as grinding paste causing excessive brake lining and drum wear. This was the case of both Toyotas in the group - both purchased ...

Toppie

Mark,

Glo my ons het vir 31jaar geveg oor kaartlees, so erg ek het gedink sy is 'n kat want sy het net vir my geblaas- toe koop ek 'n GPS en daar was redelik vrede. Nou wil jy die horlosie terug draai.
Ons kan goed saam getroud wees, maar saam kaartlees en GPS werk- nie maklik nie
Groete,
Dave

Toppie

Ek en Nelius sal daar wees saam met die SWAMBOS. Die enigste ding is dat ons net met 1 voertuig gaan ry. Ek dink nie my huwelik van 35 jaar sal dit oorleef as ek en Tannie Wilma alleen in 'n kar is nie

Toppie

En soos 'n goeie Oupa gaan ek na my skoondogter se "stork party" toe.

Dit is om van te huil!!

Geniet die dag!!

Toppie

The brakes started to become spongy on the tar road whilst driving in the rain. Later on the pan towards Kubu I could almost touch the floorboard but if I pumped the brake it became slightly better. My handbrake failed completely at Kubu
The brakes became progressively worse as we continued to drive.

Toppie

During a visit to Botswana on the way to Kubu Island, the brakes of my Hilux failed. This included the handbrake. The cause for concern is the fact that one of my travel companions, also driving a Hilux experienced the same problem. The brake failure is permananent and not as a result of being wet. ...

Toppie

Metallurgical Engineer but currently making chemicals for the Mining, Agriculture and Fertilizer industries

Toppie

Ek kan dit nie maak nie maar sal my R150 betaal

Toppie

Nelius en ek wil julle bedank vir 'n baie lekker naweek by Doornrivier. Ek het lanklaas so 'n gawe klomp mense tegelyk ontmoet. Ek wil nie graag name noem nie, ingeval ek iemand se naam vergeet. Ek wil net spesiaal dankie se aan Mark en Danelle wat uit hulle pad uit gegaan het om ons te laat welkom ...

Toppie

A friend who has jus recently bought a new Hilux would be joining us at Doornrivier.

They are Nelius & Nicky van der Merwe
They will be camping with us

Toppie

Ek en SWAMBO sal daar wees. Dit sal ons eerste kamp saam met die Hilux klub wees
