This forum is 'For the Off Road User & Outdoor Enthusiast!'
We don't allow Off Topic Threads.
We don't care how you get your TV to run during load-shedding.
We are not interested in your wheelbarrow repair project.
HOWEVER! since we are all going to be locked out of our 4x4's, our tents, our camp sites, our National parks & our neighbouring countries, we've (the committee) have decided to allow an Off Topic Thread.
The Thread won't be nuked, but it will be closed once Lock Down ends.
So go ahead 'Kak praat' especially if it stops you going insane!

We have basically been on lock down for 2 months' as we have been finalizing our last project, and designing our next one.
Only going out when required except for a couple of visits to Rustenburg. Had one visitor twice
It has not been that bad, except the lock down that is coming has messed up 4x4ing and camping

For some reason, the moment a kak praat thread is allowed, I cannot think of anything to type...
If someone rings a bell now, I may begin to drool...

Just got back from Botswana (after an additional 3 hour detour to find an open border) to find the whole world's gone mad.
Should have coughed more vigorously at Mabua reception when booking out to force the 14 day quarantine period...
