Hi Mike and Gerrie
It is sadly just too far to be able to make it for a weekend.
If however business takes me within a day of the venue, I will attend with Toady.
For the record, I will be willing to travel upto 1000km to get there, but it then only leave saturday before I have to head back.
Regards Vincent

Ok, ladies and gents. Let's try again - I will start a new e-mail list as well - so anybody interested can send me an e-mail with a suggestion for a date and perhaps we can change the venue also if the need arrises. I am open for negotiations, but think a member from the forum should just take charge with me.. Suggestions welcome for that as well.

Just a suggestion - why not discuss the suggested gathering / trip at this very forum, and why do members who are interested in this trip not publish their names to show their commitment in this regard ?
To my mind that would certainly motivate more owners to take part in an event like this

If you want Lada's, drive between Strand and Kleimond. I was down in the Western Cape the last week of April and drove passed 4 Lada Niva's just on that piece of coastal route. 2 x Green ones on the coastal pass, a white one just before Betty's and another white one in Kleinmond.

Hi Gerrie
Looks like the Gauteng and KZN guys do have more energy - any chance that you will be able to get involved in Gauteng or KZN ?
We hope to have our first "get together" in Pinetown this upcoming Saturday - so should you be able to visit our area, I am sure we could discuss this locally.
Regards
Danie
P.S. I hope the Nissan is doing well, I have read about some of your experiences at the "Drive Out / Weg Ry" magazine. Any chance that I will won the Toyota bakkie if I subscribe to your magazine ? ;D

Ok, seems to be there is still some interest. Hwat I would like from the guy who will organise this is to get a mailing list of those interested, and how many they will be taking on the trip - that way, we can make the bookings in advance and score some nice discount with it. So, let's get a mailing list started so that we can hash out some dates and possible venues...
