I thought it would be a good idea to have social get together for those people in Gauteng on Saturday the 14th of April.
I am looking for a suitable venue in Gauteng, preferable somewhere central like Midrand or surrounds, anyone volunteering to host? As a last resort, my place in Florida is available but I am not central, being south west of Johannesburg.
It would involve eie dop en tjop, Ari will be joining us as he will be in Gauteng that week for his graduation.

Ari is not here the following weekend.
Dee has potentially found a venue in Kempton Park at an old quarry, I will provide more details this evening.

Not yet, tolls only start on the 30th, but e-tags get you a 48% discount.
If you drive without e-tags thru any toll gates, even from out of province, you wont be able to renew your vehicle licence until outstanding tolls are paid. So might be worthwhile getting one while you are here for future use and then registering it to your vehicle/vehicles. You can load multiple vehicles on one tag and if you use the prepaid option, you can top up as needed via eft or via their offices located at most, if not all on and off ramps as well as major shopping centres.

What is the cost of a e-tag?
Ari add some insulation tape to your number plate.

E-Tags cost R50, the cost of which gets debited to your account as long as you buy it from one of their shops.

So who all will be attanding the social get together in Kempton Park on Saturday from about 1300? Dont forget Ari will be joining us. Please PM me if you will be attending and let me know how many will be attending. Dont forget it is eie dop en tjop and look forward to seeing you there. Location of the quarry is approxiamately at the corner of Stanley and Road 5 in Kemptom Park (look out for Whitey and Sharkey when you get close to that t-junction), shall we make it from 11 so that people can braai? Dee Johnstone can provide a lot of detail about the area and appears to be a fun 4x4 day to be had by all. There is no entrance fee payable.

Charles, as far as I know, 90% of Gauteng is not going to get an E-Tag. It is considered unconstitutional and closer to military law than anything else, seeing that they want Metro to be able to confiscate your license if you are being pulled over and doesn’t have an E-Tag. The E-Tag system also goes against the Consumers Act. The Government and RAF didn’t really think this one through. However, while the court case is in progress, whatever the government puts in place, will be considered law until the court case is over, so let’s hope it is not a lengthy one. So most of Gauteng is striking by not buying an E-Tag, but as always, what people say on forums and what they do...

Spencer, dont think it is a detour, think the route ends at the Quarry and that Spikes should start on Friday (today) with the route checking so as to make sure he gets to the end at about 12 on tomorrow

Hi Steve, I think that I have sent you a PM to say yes.....but just in case I haven't (new/old technology...it's still all a mystery to me) the answer is yes. See you guys around midday....if I don't get lost :-) Regards, Keith and CERATOTH ps CERATOTH has her name on the side....should I wear a name badge or will my British accent be enough to identify me ? ;D

I think a Niva will be sufficient to let us know who you are, along with the British accent, I would say look out for a black and a white Niva there when you arrive, but it will only be a white one as Sharkey has an issue and is temporarily RIP. I think a bearing has seized and possibly damaged a CV, going to strip it all on Sunday to check. Keith, I sent you my and Dee's phone numbers via PM in case you get lost.
If anyone else is coming and I have not send you my and Dee's phone numbers please let me know and I will PM them to you.
