Have things changed much over there? I notice that the guy on the shovel had a suntan. Van der Merwe sat in the car.

I think the comment left on Youtube pretty much somes it up

This is why the beaches are now closed. This is why Botswana parks charge so much. This is why there are tracks all over the place. This is why broadcasters are get nervous when agreeing to broadcast any show with a 4x4 in it. This is the type of behaviour that makes us 4x4 guys look like morons - It is utterly unbelievable! Why on earth did you do it? And Kyknet, why on earth did you broadcast it? Shame on you all. signed.. Andrew St.Pierre White and every other human who respects Planet Earth.

hmmm

[1] I like the accent

[2] nice to see the wheel travel on the leaf sprung Toy-motor - NOT

[3] didn't look like there was any air let out of the Toy-Motor tyres

[4] best way to straighten a bent track rod is to slide it into the highlift jack handle, this provides leverage and stops it being bent at a secondary spot. Also, use the tow ball as a fulcrum, as it doesn't have sharp edges to kink the rod.

Up until a bit over a year ago, I worked for a South African owned mining company. The attitudes on display in that clip were just so typical of those of many of the South African "managers" that I encountered in the job (not all of them - there were a few good ones scattered amongst the multitude of arrogant tools).

Was my first and only experience working for a South African company.

But then I've noticed that you don't have to look to far to see similar examples of intelligent 4 wheel driving in our own back yard. There's one particular web-site that gets mentioned on here occasionally ...............

I found the best way to straighten a bent steering rod was to get 2 good pairs of multigrips, put them closed HARD on either side of the bend , then hook a winch to the bend and pull with the other car.
Or as I did once on Mt Walker put the bend behind the tow ball, braced onto the towbar and a few guys pull.
