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.

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.
