A picture postcard photo. It's lovely to see your old 75 sitting there like that. I have often said the same thing to myself about the MG ZT & 75's. Will they last out as long as these old timers and vintage cars. I do not know the answer. Have you come to any conclusions Freddie?

Evening Jeff, Phil and all in the LCOZ! I write now with a couple of pints on board; have had a great afternoon with mates I haven't seen in ages! Freddie, your '75 is beautiful; a credit to you! Lovely to see these vehicles looked after!

Phil, hope you are feeling better now; not long until you're back in the UK now! I have embarked on a mission to get Leopardmobile's engine bay nice and clean. Wire wool, auto-sol and patience!

It has been a lovely day weather wise; cool breeze though!

I can see it now Steve and I hope you had your sunscreen and hat on

Morning, first in. Ging is finishing at 7am instead of the usual 8 this morning. Looks like a good day today, certainly sunny enough just now. Hope the expected update on Derek today is good news.

I met up with the owners tonight, who were most apologetic and presented me with a large wad of cash! I told them it was not enough to pay for my rabies shots and treatment, that I would be reporting the dog to the police. The dog is an attack dog to guard the house and the children but has been trained to attack intruders/locals. Yesterday I was wearing a black T-shirt and a black baseball hat. I had forgotten about that rule. I got quite angry when the in-laws came round with the money as I had been in a bad mood from earlier on when someone else tried the emotional blackmail trick on me, plus the leg was playing me up ... It ended in tears. Your friends you can pick, but not your family.

Sorry to hear that mate!

With your recent experiences, the sooner that you're out of Africa, the better!

May be but think modern cars have so much eletcrical components,
Think rust could be the biggest problem.
My p3 has abig sqare box chasis with wooden floors easy to mend.
Panels twice the thickness of steel.
Wont be around to find out unless I live for ever
