...but not the GL 500. Then again, the fuel cost of overlanding with that big V8...

My GL is the best vehicle I have ever had for the way I do 4 x 4: I drive a LONG, LONG way in comfort to get...

WOW! Daai Groot Leeu lyk mooi.

As ek van die teerpad af gaan, sit ek my volgrootte wiel in die kattebak. Ek gebruik die baba-stoel brackets om dit vas te maak.

Gewone ritte hier in die stad...

I have driven one for three years, and loved it.

If I ever am in the stuation where I can have (or want to have) only one car, I choose a Forturner 4 x 4 automatic, D-4D please.

All things...

Herman, ek is bly jy kan nou jou toetsrit kry. Hulle kan maar bietjie moeite doen.

Toe ek my Mercedes GL wou koop, was daar nie een beskikbaar vir 'n ordentlike toetsrit nie. EK het hulle laat...

The three models will be launched in SA within the next two weeks, according to McArthy Menlyn.

;D;D;D

Like SWAMBO's Golf, 1.4 TSI with 118 kW.

It's a jewel of a little car...but, mark my words, I will be selling it soon.

I just cannot see it in a bakkie...::)

Ek dink hierdie is 'n ongelooflike yster...dis net die prys.

My hart wil die basiese model hê. maar my kop dink aan wat jy kan kry vir dieselfde prys (of minder): 'n Disco 4, die nuwe Grand...

The Surf Automatic is very good, but stay away from the OMO automatic.
OMO is only good for handwashing;D;D>:D

I agree, and you are right, and what you say above is exactly why I support the ban.

The fact is that alcohol during the day in the park is just a bad idea, since you have to drive and there ARE...

Henk,
Absolutely shocking.
The first pictures of our family in the Park dates back to 1941, when my Mother was only four years old. Those days it apparently took two days to drive up form the...

Estee,

Jou saak is jou saak.

Ek hou van bier; ek hou van water (water 'n bietjie vroeër, bier 'n bietjie later), en 'n bietjie wyn saam met die braaivleis. EK pla niemand nie, en alkohol maak...

Ek is 'n Hilux ou, en het tot onlangs nie eers die Amarok oorweeg vir my volgende bakkie nie. Die redes is eenvoudig: my eerste en tweede Hilux het my nog altyd net vreugde en plesier verskaf, EN ek...

Not too bad with ESP on !!

Does it have the off-road package?

It would have been interesting to see what it would have done with the ESP off and the rear and centre diffs locked.

Ne3M,

Ek oorweeg dit sterk om 'n Swambo ML diesel (BlueEfficiency) aan te skaf as Swambo se platkar (met die off-road pakket natuurlik >:D;D).

Dit lyk my die ML 500 en die AMG modelle het...

They are both great IMO.

I have looked throughly at a Vito a few weeks ago and the following I like


It is a Mercedes.
SPACE
Very practical finishing (Strong, easy to clean)
Seating...

Cynthia's Indigo Moon
Pachas

Maar my grootste ou gunsteling bly nog steeds Hillside Tavern.
Miskien bietjie outyds deesdae, maar die kos bly koning.

Dis 'n baie mooi "tjor" Ne3M! ML55...dis seker nogal 'n handvol!

Ek hou van die grill - is dit die "chrome package"?

Geniet hom!!

Thank you Ne3M, where are your pics??

Ek het 'n tannie saamgevat widtuin toe. Sy het haar handsak by haar voete neergesit, agter die linkerkantste voorste sitplek. Een van die handsak se gespes het aan die net agter die sitplek vasgehaak...

I need to go see Bertus at McArthy anyway...

Cois,
BAIE GELUK!
Daar het jy nou 'n goeie ding gekoop. Ek het drie jaar lank 'n Fortuner diesel gery, en mis hom nog baie. Jy gaan baie gelukkig wees, en hom nog baie geniet.
En moenie bekommerd...

Ne3MNee, geen regtige issues nie.
Soos AAA het ek ook net die dun spaarwiel in die kar, maar op sekere ritte ry ek maar 'n volgrootte wiel saam, in of bo-op die sleepwa.
Verder geen probleme nie,...

Guys,
Thanks for the tips about the tyres and the rims.
Yes, indeed a privilege to drive the big GL.
SWAMBO has driven it last week in Limpopo, taking her parents on a little bush break (I had to...

After a very busy five months (especially the last two) and 10 00 km, I can report the following on my GL 500:

Engine: Awesome. It feels better every time I drive the GL. It revs like an
...

Ek is in die mark vir 'n goeie DC volgende jaar, aangesien die SC's nie meer prakties is met die nuwe gesin nie.
Was vanoggend by VW met SWAMBPO se Golf; gaan kyk toe dus na die Amarok met die twee...

Ek oorweeg dit nogal sterk om my single cab Hilux en my SUV te vervang met een double cab; ek het te veel karre.

Die Amarok sal beslis op my lysie van opsies wees.

Another thing: do NOT put it in the washing machine. I destroyed two EG covers that way.

Our new top loader actually has a "hand wash" cycle, but I am not sure if I trust it.

I also have Escape Gear.

In my experience, the best way to do it is to use a zinc tub, lukewarm water, coldwater OMO, and get somebody in there with his/her feet, and tread like grapes or wool,...

We serviced our 2000 model 2700i Raised Body Raider single cab on Friday. (Probably for the 6th or 7th time, so we know it fairly well by now).

After we have finished, we saw a little pipe lying...

Mike & Margeret,

A late welcome to Africa! I will be following your progress with interest.

All of the best, and enjoy it!

I can well and truly say that I want to be you at this stage.

Langman, jammer om te hoor, maar gelukkig is jy nou van hom onstlae.
Sterkte met die soek; ek hoop jy kry 'n great voertuig.

"There aren't no substitute for cubic inches"

That's why. And you just have to hear it when it growls like a Groot Leeu.
