You tell him, Comrade Ari.
We could also deliver some of those famous Explosive Kamchatkan Kamakaze goats if anyone needs to be invited in a persuasive manner....
Or arrange the next gig at Berakah in the Dome which is in Comrade Mao's backyard!
Regards Comrade Spencer

Hi Charles.
You say "Fix it, Race it, Break it. Repeat" If you can't make it on saturday you must probably be stuck on the Fix it phase?

Hi Ari/Spencer
I can't wait to test the new tyres at the next Lada Meet - so don't give up on me yet!
Regards Marius
PS - maybe in my backyard next time - but that would give me an unfair advantage ;D

Have been in that phase for 4 months already. Other stuff keeping me too busy. Worst of all is I am already looking for another project car...

Hi Guys.
Obviously, I'm in. Just say where. We will be visiting some family in the Kalahari during the long weekend at the end of April, so May or June sounds good. And after payday, ofcourse.
I can test to see if my overheating issues have been sorted in those big, steep, red, undulating dunes that go on as far as the eye can see...it's ok, you can drool just a little. ;D

June sounds great- Let's do it.
Shall we do the Fredefort dome near Parys? Is there anywhere near there where we can go offroad? I don't have much time to do research.
Laters.

OK- had a breather, and found some info. The place is called Berakah, near the Vredefort Dome. Here's the URL: www.berakah.co.za/I think it will be nice to stay over- I think Irene and I will definitely look at staying over. Can't wait for the bonfire! I can smell it already!

Hi all
It might also be a good opportunity for our members from further away to come and help to put wood on the bonfire. Perhaps some of us would be able to make a weekend out of it?
Regards Marius

I'm definitely thinking of making a weekend of it. Irene still hasn't seen what the RPG can do, so I'll do one test run at Hennops and then come to Parys.
Can't wait!

Of course mate! I'll also do some reading on technique so that I'm a bit more prepared. We'll do it soon.

Hi Darryn/Ari.
I know Berakah well. Haven't been there in a couple of years, though. The route is very challenging but well maintained. The chalets are comfortable and reasonably priced. The camping is very basic, but that is ok by me. This can easily be made into a weekend trip.
And I'm in for another trip to Hennops. I can't let my comradskis go into battle alone.

Hi Darryn.
Pick a date and we can start planning. Parys is close enough to JHB for a day trip. Or maybe Hennops again?
Any weekend after payday will probably work.
