They have picked up the crap heap now. Got it sorted, me thinks after threatenning to slander their firm across Dubai and London.

Kristy watched them take them away. They had a good look under the Xtrail as well. Just as well that the exhaust had not come off then!

Face can now relax.

Ok I get the hint!!!!! It was fun being an illegal immigrant for a few hours, can put that on my CV now :D :D

Also remember 4x4 are meant to be driven in 4 wheel mode when off road or you can get stuck...... :rolleyes:

Yup, it was a great time. we managed to generate plenty of opportunities for a fatality to occur, but everyone got home safe and sound.
(it was actually the first time i have deleberately driven into another car!....sorry JC!)

Will organise a day trip to big red and get the locals to take us over the dunes, and also an hour or so on the quad bikes. Let me know numbers and ill haggle for a discount.

Will probably be after xmas now as a few people are off to the UK and have family commitments etc.
let me know peeps.

can we wait till Feb as will have my 4x4 sorted by then and I will talk to a few mates who are local about that stuff as well.

get the locals to take us over the dunes..... bring some cash to pay them !
and I would never let a local drive my own vehicle in the desert.

JD... prob best to come out with some of my SA mates and do a proper trip.... they do know what they are doing. Such as put ur bonnet up when ur pulling somone up so the rope does not smash the screen if it breaks....

etc etc...

quad bikes... most of those bikes are private.

hence my taking them thru the Wadi, steaming along at 100kmh then chilling at a steady 160kmh on the tarmac.

ok, i understand.

the knee is when I do physical exertion.
