Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Been doing a few more bits and bobs getting van ready for summer. Dual battery fitted, oil pressure gauge fitted, curtains fitted, electronic ignition fitted, made a nice rose wood gearknob and handbrake leaver. Fitted. All light and electrical tested and working. Van how has more wiring than it ever had. All new gear rubbers and bushes. What a dream to drive now. Changing gear are now so easy. Checked all over for water leaks in the rain and with a hose pipe and happy to say not one drop water. . A much needed fire extinguisher fitted as all dub.s need one and for insurance.
