It is the day before we leave, and we’re very excited. I’m a bit worried though as my bakkie has been in for some repairs for well over a week now and they still don’t know if I’m getting it back this afternoon. After numerous phone calls to the dealership during the morning, I decide at 15:00 that I’m going to drive there to talk to them in person to find out what is going on.
When I get there I can see they’re a bit surprised to see me. I immediately go to one of the managers to ask him what’s going on. After speaking to the workshop manager, I ended up driving to the place they’d need to go to get some parts because they couldn’t get hold of the place on the phone. I get there and the parts aren’t ready, so I headed back to the dealership.
After a bit of discussion they said they’d be willing to lend me one of there vehicles for the trip. For this I am very grateful, because otherwise we’d have to cancel the trip.
There are still problems though. This vehicle doesn’t have a canopy, so we’d have to pack very sparingly to fit in everything we need. This meant leaving the fridge at home, but we decided we’ll survive without it.
Just after getting back from the dealership, I get showered and dressed and off we are to the LA Sport 4×4 Shop opening evening to represent EC Offroad Adventures. We don’t even drink a beer, although it’s been a hectic day, because we know we leave at 4:00 the next morning.

At about 21:00 we head back home and back everything in the vehicle.
