Shirley Loves Landy!





I love our landy. It is old, steers like an old dodgem car at Gold Reef City, brakes skew - pulls to the left, and is very slow at responding, but i love it!







I drove the truck again today, and managed to get there and back without any mishaps!! It is scary, but I am gaining confidence every time. Double de-clutching is still a major co-ord challenge for me, but I am getting there!

Last weekend we took it to De Wildt out at Ga-Rankuwa way, to a deserted place and drove it through the most amazing places - it was cooool fun. We got jammed against the embankment in one spot where the angle was quite challenging. Kevin hates angles, but we thought we could do this one and it landed up being worse than we thought and scraped the side quite tightly - no harm done though, minor scratch that's all.



It was surprisingly warm and we had a picnic on the top of tennis ball hill -a very loose rocky slippery climb to the top. I had to get out and move one offending rock! Super woman watch out for my muscles!!
