When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow. Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive. It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Scenic and intriguing. The "Old tank from the war" pic looks like a T54 / T55 model Russian tank .... very comonly used with the Russian / allied forces. This one however seems to have had the superstructure removed and modified for some other use.

There's also an awesome article in this month's Drive Out, can't believe petrol is only R4 per litre :!: :!:
The sad thing is that these fuels are produced here and tanked there, yet they are still so much cheaper even with all the transport costs. We are in effect subsidising their fuel, as well as of course all the different govt taxes and levies that we are forced to pay on top of it all.

what the PB s told us because of the baie olie they have they produce their own fuel all the filling stations are owned by sunangol before we filled up we add a doepa wich are supplied by toyota to assist with the fuel system if it works ........i dont knowl
That might well be something relatively new, like in the last 4 - 5 yrs. I was told by a senior Shell exec that they produced all the petrol (except for Trek at that time, now Engen I think) for southern Africa and Madagascar here in RSA. BP / Caltex / Total etc would source from them and add their own additives / colourants. In other far flung areas of the world, Bp etc. would refine and supply ... the agreement was apparently to eliminate duplicate refinery unit costs in areas that could be serviced by one refinery. Made sense to me at the time and I had no reason to think that it was'nt true.

Die fotos wat jy hier opgelaai het is awesome maar as jy nou n SFA met front lockers gehad het kon julle daai boot uit gesleep het en met hom gaan visvang het
Yes man. Klink mos baie beter as V8 Toyota "bakkie"
Dit is ma se mooi foto's, die bil's wil 2012 Tanzanie toe gaan met 'n halwe plan om via Angola terug te kom, maar ek dink dis 'n plek waarheen 'n ou moet gaan, nie net deurry nie.
