Who roped you into a FAMILY FUN DAY? Have they met you before?

Sorry I can’t assist. I’m away.

Sorry Manny, going to Kylue, enjoy.

Sorry boss. If I still lived in Jozi I would have joined.

Was just gonna say.

Sorry Manny,

I would have gladly come through but I have standards....

So who are you torturing Manny? GFYS is a great conversation starter at any 'Family Fun Day' event, always start your sentences with that when meeting new family member...

I dont give a rats arse.

Some Karen once asked me, angrily "Where did you learn to be so offensive?".

Learn?

Learn?

Is she nuts?

This is not something you LEARN, it's a GIFT....

Amen.

Indeed then you are gifted! Haha enjoy the day out Manny. We are expecting a good write up afterwards

Herewith my report on the Alberton Family 4x4 Fun Day at Meyer Plaas:
The day was arranged by (I think) 4xd4 Sport & the NG Kerk Alberton, I think Mitsu-Tech & Ironman were the sponsors.
The event has been held every year since 1990 - so it's 32 years old.

Last night Pierre Bugger Xteen called me saying he'd join me with Tiny Tiger.
He actually drove Tiny there - no mean feat; Tiger has a max speed of 80kmph due to it's ultra low gearing.

Joos Vorster has attended the event many times before & gave me the low down - so I knew what to expect.

I collected my Navi, SueAnne & headed through to Mayer Plaas Alberton.

Entry was a bit chaotic as it was based on the 'Home Affairs' model - but we came right.
I had to laugh, the form you complete asked for your postal addres!.
Are they going to post stuff?
I then pushed in, moving from about 12th in the queue to 3rd by driving over the bunting tape.

We were handed a questionnaire with about 50 questions & a 'map' with 50 odd blocks & on the blocks (map sketch) were numbers relating to the questions.
Question 1 was who is the Owner of Mitsu Tech? -i'ts Arnold Venter.
Question 2 was what is hanging in the tree? - it was a solenoid.
Another question - what has 44 squares - it was a gate.

So you drive along following the map block by block & look for the answers to the questions.

BTW: All questions are in Afrikaans.

We did the route, it had a new semi challenging sections.

There were 2 places where the road split & you could choose: Manne or Muise - we chose Manne both times & those section were a bit difficult.

I'd rate the whole course a grade 3 (max).

We finished around 12:00 (just over 3 hours), I was the first to finish because others stopped for lunch - it was a VERY relaxed day.,

SueAnne & I found out that we got 18 Questions wrong - (64% score).

Bugger left shortly after we finished as he has another engagement, SueAnne & I stayed to watch some guys in non-road legal rigs bash about in a mud hole.
They then said the prize giving would only be at 15:30 - so we said goodbye & headed home.

Overall a very nice, different, well organised day. We enjoyed it...

Will post some pics

Nice day out with Manny and Bugger. Thanks guys
