I took Cameron down to the riding club for a pony ride and cake at the coffee shop.... on the bend between the riding club and the T junction to the beach, a metallic purple/maroon colour car was lying on it's roof about 15 metres into the dunes on the east, The tow truck people were busy loading it onto the trailer to take away...... according to the custom officials I spoke top later, the car was there at 06H00 this morning when they headed off to work at the border.....
I know there was a band and a party up at the Stables Lodge at Shepards Neck last night...... Guess I will hear more about who was involved later..... Another pay day in Omund, yet, another prang!
motorbike :auguri1:
It was I you bastard :) Car is a right off, I will live though.... I was one lucky dude though. Stupid freaking gemsbok.
Hahahahaha..Really? You have a habit of wrecking cars? And how drunk was this gemsbok?
:auguri1:
image201 @ Mike daman
Actually Dave...... the car was a wreck..... are you alright? Not Hurt I hope...... and er! Uhm! what did you do with the Gemsbok? laughpoint
I never hit the gemsbok, the f**ker ran across the road. I swerved, hit the gravel side and lost control of the car.... you saw the result of the rest of that. I spent the night in hospital, out now and at home... faced is scrathed up pretty good, brusied and battered pretty good to.... All works, fingers, toes, etc...
msn emoticon (224) You mind yourself Dave - and take no notice of Mr. Sympathy.....
.... and thats what you told the insurance people hey? It's a pity it was'nt a leprechaun, you would'nt habe had to swerve...just drive right over the little green bugger.....!
image281
You only want to drive over the leprechauns cause you know how embarrassing it will be when they drink you under the table image 11 image 11 image 11 image 11 image 11 image203 image281
In that case, If I know young David, the Leprechaun must have been in the passenger seat with him......

yesno
hammer
Hope you ain't too eina tomorrow David! image031
Let us know if you need anything David - we'll mind you
beermug20
Isn't that what got you into this trouble in the first place - maybe I'd better drink it for you......... image 11
Holly sh*t David, now your pride and joy is in it's moer! image16
Glad to hear you are ok though, the car can be replaced. msn emoticon (224)
cheers
Yup.. In it's moer, thinking about getting a bicycle, i have had way to much bad luck with cars.
image19 Dave can aslo be replaced...he does'nt do that much.....
Lets turn to Google Earth to Analyze this highly irregular incident at closer range..... image19 msn emoticon (224)
Seems to me like the Gemsbok was minding his own business and nowhere near Dave - one thing that concerns me though, there's no sign of the leprechaun from the passenger seat anywhere - do we need a search party policedog-small
Looking at the pictures, I think the gemsbok were the drunk one! image201
I think Andrewette is right; have the coppers been sent out to breathalyse the "dronk bok"?
Shit dave sorry to hear about this bro take it easy! The same gemsbok has been involved in plenty accidents it must be getting pretty old now!
You know the funny thing was while I was up at the lodge with the band doing the gig, old Andre Lankaar was there. He still jokingly said that I must watch out for the Gemsbok's on my way back... as a similar event happened to him, but he actually hit the Gemsbok... oh well shit happes (Mike is living proof) sorriso2
Well at least this living shit does'nt make a HABIT of rolling and crashing his cars around the Namib.... :culo1:
The only reason for that is that you are to busy online and never going anywhere in your car Mike!

So now I only have 8 of my 9 lives left..... cat3
Shit David, you are a very lucky man to be able to walk away from that, your angels were watching over you!!!
8_1_220(55)
Hey David, on the last pic, I could'nt help but notice that you left your back door open, you should be careful, somebody might pinch your radio...... image201
OMG! Talking of making me feel bad with all the teasing - wow you are one lucky guy.......... fantasy-18 Look after yourself
Wow man thats pretty hectique!
Luckily your ok who else was in the car with you?
@Mike you laugh, someone actually nicked one of the amps from my boot when the car was lying on it's roof in the desert... never seem any vultures here but I know they are out there....
@Jeremy, I was alone in the car thank god.
@Rhona, don't feel bad, Mike will tease me still anyways...
@ David - are you signed off work at the moment
@Rhona... yup off work till Wednesday.. but I think i will be office based for a little bit till after that...
And this is the reason Mike either drinks at home or walks!
beermug20 image11a
David - how old was your car?
I wanted a camel.....so it could take me home....but Michele would'nt let me keep it under the bed.......
I should think not - I heard they dribble....
Dribble you say? Maybe...just maybe I could keep 22 dribbling camels under the bed and then we could have a good game of football...... woo_hoo
@Michelle it was a 2001 Focus, had plus minus 117000 km's on it, of that I only did about 20000 km's...
It was time for a new one anyway. image11a
Maybe we could 'bang' out the dents.......save you the price of a new set of wheels yesno
Maybe you guys can all point in and sponsor me a new car :) just please not a FORD
we'll have to make sure to mount wheels on the roof though, so that when you do roll it, at least the car will keep on moving..... ha ha
Good plan 99 - I'll set up a bank account and so if ye'd all like to post your donations to me in the Emerald Isles, I'll make sure it is kept safe until there is enough for new wheels image11a
How many lottery tickets can you buy with our donations? banjo
On the name of Ford Focus .. over the years I have picked up some word play on the names of cars ... guess some .. some are obvious .. have fun..
Dustbin Cripple S
Fraud Concertina
Toyota Landcrusher
Ford ... Focus ? well Foc you too
Ford ... Icon .. and you cant ..
Fiat Uno .. Uno het jy 'n klomp kak gekoop
Oops I appear to be doing a bit of Ford bashing here giverose
the rest escape my mind at the moment although i drove Citroens for many years .. citrus .. and yes one could say that some of them were definite lemons .. my first club was ..
furthermore my Opel kadetts although feisty and fast .. were both troublesome at times .. including post delivery brand spanking new problems ...
My new CLIO I Bought despite the swathe of bad reports from my mechanic Winston telling me not to touch Renault .. has been totally fault free . not one glitch .. and yes I do not roll cars ...
If one ever wants good old fashioned personal mechanic attention I can recomend Winston one of the old school of service providers .. . he always sees a way around a problem and looks for the most cost effective way of solving a problem ,, if you want personal service just ask me for his contact details ...
F.I.A.T.............Fix It Again Tomorrow
Hah ! yu got my mind pumping .. First In All Troubles although they have like so many manufacturers come to the qulaity party .. strangely enough some leading manufacturers had severe problems but seemed to have a sort of blind loyalty that carried them through .. others got picked on ..
I drove a blue " Ford Carrera " my porche for many years,loved it untill the passengers floor fell out. image11a
Was there anyone in it when the floor fell out?
Oh Dear another ford bashing .. Ford Sierra .. Freestate Ferrari ...
202 No Rhona....I still had the cheek to drive it with no floor. It was a real rust bucket....cried when I sold her,yes we did get money for her.
At least you saved on using the aircon ...
Maybe you guys can all point in and sponsor me a new car :) just please not a FORD
FORD - First On Rubbish Dump (Better be careful, hubby has Ford F250 and totally in love with it.)
Ooh Florrie is that not a bit close to home ??
Fix or Replace Daily.... FORD
This is my 5th Ford actually and has served me well
1st Ford Escort 1.6
2nd Ford Cortina 2.0
3rd Ford Sierra 2.0
4th Ford Sierra Station Wagon 2.0
5th Ford Focus 2.0
I must point out that I am not from Parow or white trash so don't ask me how it happen, but I think I have enough of FORD's for this life time
image11a - Hey, enough of the Ford bashing - I quite like my Ford Fiesta "mom's taxi" and the answer is NO David - you may not borrow it!
My dad was a Ford man - big time - i'll always remember his bright red T-shirt with a picture of a Ford on it with the saying "Old Fords never die, they just go faster"...........we had a 1955 beige Ford with white leather seats - what possessed him to get white with 3 kids, i'll never know. Anyway, this old car took us all over SA on our holidays each year - there was always a fight between us 3 kids as to who was going to sleep on the back "dashboard" while travelling- it was big enough that a kid could lie on it with the sun warming the bones with the lull of travelling rocking you into a gentle sleep. My mom always had to intervene and allocate turns to make it fair. I have good memories of that old car.
I agree, enough with the Ford bashing, it leaves me with too many scars and wounds.... sorriso2
My dad is also a Ford fan, had a Cortina Big six and a Ford Zephyr, Ford stationwagon, from when I can remember, only ever had a Ford and still thinks they are the best.
We had a big golden Chevvie in the 70, a Commander or COmmodore...if I recall...... rusted to hell and gone..... image11a
Many folk would take offense to this one...
Tonne Ou Yster Op Twee Aste = TOYOTA
First On Rubbish Dump = FORD... (When it's towing the Toyota)
Neither FORD nor TOYOTA have given me any crap, so not a good thing to dis them, Just adding to the list..!
Another one i forgot .. the atypical minibus taxi .. Toyota Hiace ... High Impact African Culling Equipment ... shoot me for that one ...
I dont think anyone can take offence to word play on car names .. most manufacturers have had their horror years where their best intended designs just came out crappy and a troublesome child was born ...
I remember the Austin Marina .. if any of the Mini's , 1127's .or Apache's were finicky then the so called simple back to basics design , rear wheel drive simple layout ( the advert was that is was like a household appliance plug in and go ) It was a horror story .. evrything under the sun could go wrong .. every manufacturer has had bad years .. so far so good today , things have improved mostly ( automation and robotics ? ) .. but then theres always the human factor ..Monday car . Wednesday car and end of week car .. so in the good old days we had the odds of 2-3 days of really good manufacture depending on how they felt on friday ... ha ha
