Road trip went off well, didnt need ... any tools, bloudraad, brix, weed, blow up seat cover, AA membership, cellphone, Tyre Weld, nada

Only issue was a 9 year old rear tyre that started de-laminating around Mossel Bay. Once that was replaced all she wanted was fuel ... and lots of it ... (averaged 10.8 k/l the whole trip)

HAd a blast .. thanks for all the advice gents .. and yeah .. i am totally sold on ACVW's they are amazing machines .. :drunks: :hangloose:
