Michelin Desert up front and a Michelin T63 on the back

Thanks, please let us know how they last out. Are they DOT approved and what speed rating are they?

My Michelin T63 has almost 8000km - got 2 mm on the centre blocks left..
 
Lekker, Swaer... (or are you a Boet?)

I see your pozzie is just above Spring Cottage.. nice view.

We are down in the hollow, opposite the Hall, above Judge Davies' monstrous village!
 
Carnivore my spot is actually in the dip on the corner below Davies,we are almost across the road from you.When you heading there?
 
Are you sea-side of Stumble-Inn , as you turn left to go to the dump? Just can't quite place your pozzie - it's been a while since we were there.

We look out of our verandah onto that monstrous wooden barn. We back onto the road that runs past the hall towards Spring cottage etc.

Before Davies was built, that whole patch of ground was Dad's place (6 plots, from Davies back up to the road.) Ours is the original house op die bult.

911/
I want to plan an overnighter at our place. We sleep on the verandah in old creaky beds. One couple get the luxury of a monstor bed inside...  ;D

Could handle about 10 ppl b4 it gets too woes.

Anyone listening...?

911 off/
