After driving (and pushing) my dads 1988 Toyota Cressida GLE around Stellenbosch for decades, this nippy little Ford Fiesta 1.6 Trend is like living in a dream. It starts every time, ALL FOUR speakers work, it burns more petrol than oil… No, seriously- I LOVE this car. Its nippy, it comfortably takes off (or “launch” as I call it) in 2nd gear, it corners like on rails, it fits into parking spaces in the 1st try, it is really light on fuel (5.9L per 100km rating) and of course, it looks good. Now I can even legally talk on the phone once I put my Blue teeth in. Cheez, whats next?! Voice control? O ja, it already has that.

AND it comfortably fits a size XL 29er (or two) in the back.  I’m working on a roof rack for the bikes. Got to keep this baby looking new, since the Caveman will now be known for his nice, clean car, as opposed to “The Owner Of The Red Rocket”.

Caveman & Team Kelfords

Just a quick post to celebrate the unhacking of  my website- will blog more extensively soon.

Had a lot of fun at XTERRA Knysna and the Oyster Fesitival. Knysna is a stunning place, and after 20 years of endless summer, I saw that this kind of winter I can live with if I really have to- a week of 24C and sunny after a few days rain.

Lieuwe Boonstra 3rd (in his last pro race on SA soil), 1x Caveman (in now khaki kit), MTB ace Kevin Evans 2nd. Yes, Oakley did clean up!

Thanks to Fanus from Oakpics.com for the pix.

Liezel and I also did the Waterfront Rush for laughs. Here is a sneak peek…

Liezel and I dropping in. I’m not a big fan of heights and almost dropped into my pants…

Trying not to laugh at Liezel tipped over

It all ended well- No one drowned, but rock climbing is for monkeys…
