Maybe, but my company is The House Doctor.
The only way there'll be a House Doctor bakkie outside Hogshead is if they are having ceilings you can look up to, whether you've fallen over backwards or not, installed... :D

I'm also hoping for some feedback.
Paul said he may go on the Friday, or Saturday, or Sunday.
Maybe he went...

I went today.

Not a bad little Expo. I needed to get out of the house a bit so it was a worthwhile drive and walk around. Entrance exit and parking very well marshalled making entrance and exit flow smoothly.

The exhibits were same old same old but it’s always nice having a look at some of the stuff and knowing that you don’t really need it. There were two sections. General 4x4 stuff and then a few caravan exhibits. Quite a small expo but for R40 I was not expecting too much.

I quite enjoyed that little expo. less Meneere with products that they show case as most superior than others. I hate some of these shows where exhibitors think they are doing you a favor.

... I went on Saturday and camped the v.cold night.
Watched the Boks subdue the Oz.
Not a huge show as far as displays, eg I didnt see Metallians on display nor Bush Lapas (Im contemplating a swop) ; and there were some interesting goods & gadgets stands eg some battery connector options , camera window mounts, lots of Knives & Guns etc.
I havent contemplated shooting anyone for years yet salesmen there emphasize air-pressure pistols dont require a license and can be persuasive and a good deterrent to the pesky folk esp with pepper spray rounds.
I bought some snacks and a neat little braai grid.
Saturday the guys at the gate said ('only') 1000 folk paid for entry and when I left mid-morn Sun there were far less people.

(P.S. ... no , dont know why the 1 photo is red
... maybe fancy lights at Tough Dog stand ...)
