The mighty Ford again:
I am in Windhoek for the week and I had to drive (getting tralier fit and the loadbin rubberized). Say what you will, but this ain't too shabby.
Still had 190km to go on the tank.

It is still going well Nic, I left the S11 with the missus and took the Ford back again. Looking at the state of Ford (as I received it from my wife, I told her that is why she can't have nice shit - tar spots everywhere, scratched rim and a new ding on the front bumper - she deserves the S11).
Did the whole Henties-Uis-Fransfontein-Otjikondo trip this weekend, and it did well - just a lot more dust ingress than usual, but I reckon that was because I had the climate control on the whole time. And it was some sort of rally weekend, so there were the one convoy after the other which created a lot of dust.
Fuel consumption stays at 9,5km/l in town and 10,5km/l on the open road.
O ja, fitted Goodyear Wranglers recently, for 3k a tyre. It feels more secure on the gravel (probably placebo effect) but no real difference on tar (to the Conti-akkas it had on).

I did one of those in Somerset. Worked out well, except for Kelsall who was too scared to join without Apoc.
