New TOY replaces Roy...

Post by the BuTch3R »

Some of you have probably read in previous threads that I had taken a decision to sell Roy, my trusty '89 SFA, with the intention to purchase something a little more comfortable for SWAMBO and kids on the longer trips. :|

It took me a good, long time to make peace with this decision, and as Roy drove out my front gates for the very last time on Saturday, my heart was very heavy.........but not for long.









On Sunday, I collected my new truck, and it's an absolute Beaut!
I have yet to see an SFA in better condition, in & out. And it goes like a dream.
Got the family's full approval and looking forward to many happy kilometers to come. :yahoo:

Thanks ouens. I am very happy with the purchase.
Yes this was Kobus' bakkie. He really took good care of it.

Was contemplating an IFS for a while, but my heart eventually won the battle over my head (if that makes any sense at all)

Bluyota? Ek dink nie so nie. Roy is mos after all where it all began.

Now i just gotta get it over my heart to get some mud on such a good looking trokkie :oops:
