Hey guys! I had a funny yestarday on the way back to Joburg from Windhoek!...

Came through the East Gate border of Namibia and Botswana, drove on peacefully like nothing mattering when I got to t-junction at Kalahari National park, when the clutch hydraulics failed.

So after looking under the car, it was found to be that the steel hose, had burst, inside the converter box.

So the stealers are coming to tow it this morning and 'rectify' it.

Just a bit of a blast to confidence, if it happened to me on the Skeleton Coast, i would have been truly fecked!. I mean, I was there the day before!

Yeah mud, lucky...8-) 8-) 8-)

only prob is, I'm out and about there quite often. seems like I'll have to take the toolbox with me...

Couldn't find a 10spanner to even check it. Southern africa only has stealers in SA, Namibia. As for the rest, you got to walk to cell reception or get a shortwave...

The shopping list grows...:eek:
