:D Finally my bus is mobile and my plane ticket is booked for the 24 July to go and get my but in Stilbaai. By then it should be road worthy through the test and I will be driving it to JHB. Cannot wait. :D Then I will need lots of :zhelp: and advise on stuff.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
My bus did not make road worthy as yet. So I was not able to drive her back and had to settle to drive my Dad's car back but have some pics and she is going for road worthy tomorrow. So hold thumbs. And it was not to bad as we did take her around the block a couple of times and drove to Melkbos in it. No cops in Stillbaai. :D and she runs like a bat out of hell. So the old man will start the trip up most likely on Thursday. So next week at the latest my baby Flossy should be here.

On the west coast 35 km north of Cape Town, 3 km south of the only nuclear power station in Africa and the place where the north Atlantic telephone cable comes ashore, also the place where the English landed for the second occupation of the Cape during the Napoleonic wars and about 4 km from the site of the Battle of Blaauwberg. 7km north of the best pub in the world, The Blue Peter... :drunks:
