Thanks Chris. Ja die geel cropsprayer! (**)

Thanks for the shot of Micro Bunny. She has been around and needs a wash. Last wash was after being on the trailer behind my DIESEL Pajero. Jy kan net dink hoe mooi sy gelyk het? (**) all wind swept and black. (**)

Too infinity and beyond....we would have still been out there ## somewhere??

At 11500 rev daai enginetjie 5400 rpm en maak so "peeeeeeerrrrreeeee" en suig sous teen 16 l/h. En dit gaan so aan vir n' uur. n' Petrol na geraas omsitter. Awsome (^^)
