NOOOO!!!!!!

anyway, fixed my water trouble - turned out to be just the clamp on that little hidden pipe, so Toby if you haven't got it yet, have a look first!

Thanks for the tip widowmaker, but I can see the actual hole in the radiator hose, and I can see the water gushing out when it's under pressure. How did you change the clamp? Did you have to take half the engine apart?

well, it was halfway apart when I found the water leak, but you should get away with just releasing the alternator tensioner to get the fanbelt off, then dropping the alternator completely (really sounds worse than it is - easy peazy - 2 bolts on the alternator and the tensioner nut)

cool and sad to hear about your new car... DIBS ON THE DOMAIN AND SITE IF YOU GET TIRED OF US POOR MORTALS

Im joining the event - where do we meet up to have a drive together?
Sundome maybe anyone? mmm maybe we should start compiling a geography chart.

people, have we got any final arrangements or is it one of those events?

seems that someone must decide on something fast - I suggest either the BJ's over the Ben Schoeman for the PTA people then drive to the twin BP stations on the N1 and Beyers Naude to meet up with the closer people.

Have we got a time? suggest early, coz the place will be packed
how about 9?

Im just wondering, maybe the last million people joining us are cyclists that got their SX avatars off the web...

As will all other past events, for me one thing always stand out clear: It is the friendship. Thanks Walter, Nuren, George and their families. I enjoyed it. The walking did me good. I took about 5 pics with my cellphone camera, which of course is not the best quality, but will try and post them to Toby to put them on our web site. The other worth item mentioning is the driving together of the sx's. Man that is great. It always look awesome. Again just imagine 10 sx's plus driving in a line??? Nuren, I like the party come together idea. This can be an awesome event.
