BTW, I made contact with the mayor's PA of the area where Hakskeen Pan is situated.

My hair brained scheme was for them to build a hangar right on the edge of the Pan
above the flood plain and use it to train underprivileged youngsters at what I do.
Must have living quarters built in.

 They are very interested and I've got to go to a meeting
with the mayor next year.

One hitch, my partner says she's not going to live in the desert.
Fine. My future ex is a strong girl that can use all the tools I do. Sounds like a keeper. :-D :-D :-D

I've been trying to match 15" road tires to the MT fronts I need so I call
around for prices. R950 each. Bit steep for just setting up.
I'm under the Ranchero pulling out some brake rotors I'm selling and
guess what??????. two tires on rims, right size!!!!!!. What are the odds?. :-o :-o :-o :-o

It's Thanksgiving here today as well!!!!!!!.
God works in mysterious ways and this project is Blessed.
I'll have news coming early next week that is going to shock
the racing world.

Faith is worth more than money and I thought 2018 was the worst
year of my life. 11 bad, gut wrenching months on all levels and
one call changed everything. Hold your breath. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I know we don't discuss politics or religion here but I'm a believer.
Definitely going to write a book. Too many coincidences for it to be
just that.

You want MIRACLES?, I'll show you miracles. This is nuts. I don't
know where to start. If I could just be more diplomatic at times
I'd be golden but I tell it like it is and people don't like the truth.

I'm not referring to anyone on this forum but growing up in a
tough area I still can't shake that get even thing. :evil: :evil: :evil:

The day I found this forum I was changed forever. What a great bunch of
guys!!!.

I did PM a member early on and ask why all the members were so old?, was it because
they were too old to race anything else?????. Not at all, that's how long it takes to get a record!!!!!!!!.
I knew I was home right there. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

This roller coaster ride you can't buy. I'm actually glad I started out with about $500. Imagine if I had
unlimited funding?. No challenge. I fight for every inch and the satisfaction is unbelievable.

I love you all. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Have a good Thanksgiving, Mike and don't forget to give us a few more images of your car. I am also quite curious about your pending announcement. After all, it is the season for miracles.

Thanks John. I celebrate with you guys but I don't touch Turkey. Looks like a Vulture!!!

I like fish or red meat. Raw or cooked.  :-D :-D :-D

Had a scotch or three last night. We had a power black out. They call it LOAD SHEDDING!!!!.
They blamed the problem on the coal for the power stations being wet but we're in the middle
of a heat wave. Freakin drought here. The truth is they never bought enough coal for 11
power stations. Forward thinking hey????. I ate Baloney AKA Polony and went to sleep.

The pics will be coming. Just busy handling a bunch of meetings and getting parts machined.

I havea meeting with a guy that grew up 1 mile from me.
We both went to St. Patrick's Church and served as altar boys.
Now you know where my hatred of Brass comes from!!!.

He can cut Hypoid Offset gears and I was straight up.
I said I can't break this stupid record without his help.
I need sponsorship. He's willing to help.

Going to see Marco on Tuesday.

The stupid record stems from the history of South African LSR.
Willie Hepburn drove a Pontiac twin turbo Firebird on a tarred road.
The car was owned by Peter Mannelis who was a gear head with big bucks.
He did 372KPH. Then Grant Van Schalkwyk (a cool dude) did 388 in a car imported
from the US and built by Sonny's at Hoedspruit AFB for Dunlop Tires. After the promo
tour the car went back.

There is no sanctioning body or a class system. Motor Sport SA sets the rules and you run what you brung.

I want to change things. The potential is here and waiting to be embraced. The track is great. South Africa needs something exciting.

Thanks Sparky. Starting to enjoy the roller coaster ride again.
I respect you guys because you've been there and done it.

Not for cry babies!. Tom Burkland was right about everything he said.
It was the best schooling ever. Fighting on.

God Bless. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
