Petrol shortage

Postby jj le roux » Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:01 pm

Hope you guys in Gauteng have filled up or have good supply of fuel. I went to 3 station this afternoon before I found any. Even then did they only have one pump working. The rest was already dry. We won't really know how long the strike will go on for.

If i include the Vaal it will be a trip of 181miles for me (**) (**)
Will see what the arms feel like when i hit panorama and then maybe on to Klip.
Not so sure about going all the way to the Vaal, not that Flying fit yet.
Slowly getting used to going nice and Far.
