You too Tribble, thanks very much for coming to Menlyn. Hope you managed to get a decent number of hours sleep. I believe there were some pics posted, I'll add them to the gallery soon, just pm them to me please and don't post them here.
I need sleep now, 7 hours of driving, I'm stukkend. Cheers!

went to GateWay with Mr. Norris and Xiphan last night to go watch Fantastic 4 : Silver Surfer.
well we ended up going to the go kart track, and I figured that when the PTA gang comes down we should all go to the go kart track, beats playing NFS. lol
but seriously, its load of fun and the men can finally prove that women can't drive!!!

What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

OK, I'm safely back in Durban.
Went on an "extended" roadtrip to Klerksdorp with my old man to visit some family. My dad coming up met neon's ensemble going down at Villers, so I just switched cars and off I went on my way.
I'm lucky to be posting this though - on the way back, some stupid goat decided to run in front of the car (I was driving) around the Howick area. Nothing I could do about it. Fortunately, I managed to slow down to around 70 before I hit it. The car's a bit damaged, but insurance will cover it. I'm still very shaken up, though.
But back to the topic, there's a few thank-you's that I need to make:

But back to the topic, there's a few thank-you's that I need to make:
- wizardofid - thanks for letting us have the PCF meet and braai by your place, and for putting up with us for the night.
- Cameron - thanks for coming along, and for the lucky packets.
- Cappy, HHB and your family for putting us up while we were in Pretoria. I haven't experienced such hospitality in a long while. Next time you guys are in Durbs, you're staying over at my place.
- Stacey for the PCF office tour.
- All the guys who came to the meet at wizard's place and later in the week at Menlyn, it was awesome meeting you guys.
- Finally, thanks to neon, Bobendren and Richard_ for taking me with them and for putting up with me for the week. It was an unforgettable experience.
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.

Zomg, thank goodness you ok. You must have been shaken up after that.
Yeah dude thanks for coming along, I appreciate having someone that appreciated the trip so much. Thanks for your help with directions, you sure made driving an easy task when it can be rather overwhelming task since sometimes I had no idea where I was.
I'd also like to thank wizard, Cappy, HHB, Dae, Stacy for the reasons Ron mentioned.
Hope you had good time in Klerksdop. Now back to work for you, lol! Shame. Dude pm me the photo's, I wanna organise them so we can put them in the gallery.

Aww come on. I do that trip at least three times a year and do all the driving my self - by choice. Once we stupidly went down on a long weekend - some race or other. It took us 14 hours - tanker crashed and spilled flammable liquid on the road at Villiers, truck burnt out at Harrismith and Van Reenens closed cause a truck lost its load. Now that was a long time but it was still a fun trip. Good company and good music make it.
You will get used to it lol
