OK,
I have managed to get a 33% discount on the route, subject to 10 vehicle minimum, i.e. now R100 per vehicle.
I am still negotiating on the time, as they have stipulated the route time as 09h00 - 11h00.
I will amend the info accordingly, once finalized.
Simon, any word on Mitsubishi sponsorship?

I remember that day, will be good to see you again! You have the dark blue LWB, not? I think I have some pics of you at Tierkloof.jbeez wrote: Hi Chris

I haven't decided when we'll leave yet, it would depend what the rest of the family wants to do. My wife might want to go and see her dad as he's sick and/or goto the Mall - we don't goto Cape Town often so I don't see her going on a 4x4 trip if the Mall is an option!
