Clydesdale has now done around 55 000 Km and is still going strong, I
recently fitted electric fans and had to fix a broken radiator pipe.
His main jobs have been taking Shelley (The wife) to work and back daily, a trip
of around 50 Km including the Krugersdorp hill accent. Once every couple of
months, Clyde is required to tow the Millennium bug to a mud hole, which may
either be 50Km away or 250 Km...either way, no sweat at all.
