Have a good trip home Ron, and enjoy the toys.

I'm also on the Great Trek back home tomorrow morning. I'll only be in SA on Monday morning though. :shock: and then off again by Wednesday afternoon. :evil:

If you in Cairo for 18 hours, you might as well come visit me in Hurghada for a few drinks.... but then again, it is so bloody hot here I dont even want to leave the boat

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Well i just spent 5 days in france and the french birds weren't brilliant, luckily there were Veyrons, Astons, Lotus', Ferraris and TVR's by the dozens to keep my attention! I have never seen so many gorgeous cars. Got a photo or two of the buses i saw but will only put them up when i get back next week. Yet again beetlefanatic, we not in the country at the same time. hope the trip goes well Ron. 9 weeks is harsh

Home in a cold and wet Hermanus (let it rain... please). Life is good. Rumours looks so good standing in the garage... Bottle of Clairvaux red muscadel to warm the cockles... :drunks: Split pea soup with smoked eisbein on the stove. On the couch with a blanky, watching Law & Order... :roll: Mates coming the weekend to get ringed... :drunks: Klaver Jas and Perudo with straf dop will be the order of the day, no doubt. :zhelp:

Oh yes, and Gill is here too... :shock: :lol: :lol:
