That's a good group of fellas there. Taking care of others so they can have fun too! Mad Max to the max out there on the pan, good to see you boys having some fun!
Some guys have all the fun. Loved the trike segment. Didn't understand a word of it but didn't need to. Brothers taking care of a brother. That's what I'm talking about!! Since I grew up in West Texas, i really appreciate the desert. Thanx Diff.
Be careful of the potential flash flood from the piddle puddles if too much intake is happening. (as it's going to be done w/boys being boys). (lol) The trike sure made so tears of joy/thankfulness and smiles all around.
I say whatever you got, Rat Rod, Hot Rod, Custom or whatever label you put on it... Get the Fk. out there and enjoy your ride. Cars are meant to be driven. Thanks for taking me along, I had a ton of fun watching. Cheers
I’m so glad I didn’t take your advice and skip the “talking section” If I had I would’ve missed the awesome segment where they donated the trike to that amazing and special guy. His reaction was priceless and restored my faith in humanity. ❤ Some awesome contraptions and vehicles came out to play! Seeing the sunset on the horizon must’ve been worth the visit alone. Lekka boet - Michael Uk 🇬🇧
Some mates cool rigs ,couple of beer's and half decent weather, 😂 apart from the wind, congratulations to the bloke that received the trike all the best to him,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones, have a Lekka one
Old farts kickin back having a great time. I liked the custom front end on the grand prix.Rat rods are cool.Your truck bed cap looked like it came from the factory.You be safe out there Diff.
That must have been a great time with alike people around. The Trike act is unbelievable and Dries won't forget that till the end of his life. Makes one feel 10 years younger with all the dust in the face :-)). Thanks for sharing Div.
Wow uncle Div, this was an awesome experience and I think I just got a fresh taste of that dust again😅 these videos looks so nice oom👍🏼👍🏼 and it was a privilege to have you guys as our neighbors on the pan😁👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Div, looks like a great time, man, that desert just goes on into infinity, big and desolate. But even amongst that desolate landscape Wayne just keeps on laughing, he truly is a cheerful chap. Nice work by Sias and his mate doing the trike for the disabled brother, good men! Great to see the Aussie Holden's, a HT Monaro and a HQ ute don't see many here nowadays. Keep safe and cheers mate. 👍 👍 🦘🦘.
Hay Divy...so lekker to see u okies in your element. Awesome to see the handover of the trike too...Brothers in Arms right there. Got a feeling this is gona be a yearly mission for you guys
Enjoyed the video... Nice gift of the trike built by a couple of great guys helping out one of their brothers... The barefoot mechanic was in rare form having a fun time with the two of you... Div... It's wonderful you got out with your two buddies... Lots of camaraderie there... Thanks for sharing... Good times for sure...
This video is awesome to me especially because I grew up in southern California 5 miles from El Mirage Dry Lake. I'm sure you've heard of El Mirage Dry Lake famous for Southern California Timing Association racing. I also really enjoyed the people speaking in their native language I find it fascinating. Thank you for posting this video.
Congrats to the Winner of the trike Good video Div Wayne looked like he was having a grand old time Definitely some kool Rides Beautiful sunset I Just got back from the New Jersey Shore They had a Race of the Gentlemen on the Beach in wildwood New Jersey THOR
Nice to see all the Aussie cars out there, the white Ford XY Falcon Ute and the orange Holden HQ Belmont ute, the silver Holden HG Monaro. Awesome to see an indestructible Ford inline 6 Barra fitted to the Zodiac? you can get up to 2000 horse power out of a Barra, it's Australia little secret but more than happy to share it with our mates in S.A.
Looks like you guys had a great time your friend was overwhelmed with his surprise from the guys who really care about him that was cool we may not have been able to understand your language but I think we understood his emotions. You are 100 percent correct our lives can change in an instant. My life totally changed when my wife of 35 years passed away. I know too and we do have to carry on we can't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves like you said Wayne laughs about anything but that's great it cleans the soul. You guys be careful going home Take care all.
@@ratrodsafrica Thank you my friend it has been 4 years now and my life is now getting back on track for me.i have a lot of family support that has made it easier. It's a part of life that we all will have to face. I have faith that gives me strength. I too have been putting things together to go up to our local mountains and go camping and fishing for a weekend and just enjoy it. You take care guys.
What a hoot! Looks like gr8 fun . That trike was a gr8 gift and a gr8 build what a fun thing to ride. Diffy don't have to much fun out there, we're all envious. Cheers gr8 vid .happy trails
Well, this was a super cool edition. Sadly, some of the cultural stuff is lost in translation, but for those who don’t speak or understand Afrikaans, this was pretty emotional and shows how many good people are out there. Thanks for sharing
you build good stuff Div 700km n no issues on both cars then good times on pan. you know your stuff sir..i dont think we have similar here..but ill ask around
It's a form of lubricant that's not messy like grease🙂 Correctly done trailer wiring has a ground in the plug. One should never ground through the ball
Was that a ford Barra the guy in the car wrenching Ona big turbo engine...we don't have them here. I'm a ford 6 guy.. man I't would be coold to put a Barra in my old truck. Nobody would know what it is
It is indeed. My friend Schalk's Zephyr (English Ford). He started the build during Covid and this was the car's maiden voyage. Full tube frame, with BMW E36 front suspension and Chev C10 truck arm rear on coilovers all round. Built by a young guy in his home garage, even the engine. Had a wiring issue, sorted but too late to run top end.
Hats off to Boetie and Sias, for building the trike for Dries, very cool
That's a good group of fellas there. Taking care of others so they can have fun too! Mad Max to the max out there on the pan, good to see you boys having some fun!

Div i’m very happy for you. You didn’t let your illness stop you. you are an inspiration to others, keep going sir.
Thanks!
This has a hint of Mad Max to it. Have fun and be safe fellas, thanks for sharing!

😂👍
Looks like a good place to camp..... under the shade of a couple of trees, next to a creek. Haha
I say whatever you got, Rat Rod, Hot Rod, Custom or whatever label you put on it... Get the Fk. out there and enjoy your ride. Cars are meant to be driven. Thanks for taking me along, I had a ton of fun watching. Cheers
Right on! Not driving them is a death sentence and turns it into an ornament!

It is something special!

The Ghia is badass!!!
The Hudson is badass!!!
Agree!
Well, this was a super cool edition.
Sadly, some of the cultural stuff is lost in translation, but for those who don’t speak or understand Afrikaans, this was pretty emotional and shows how many good people are out there.
Thanks for sharing
Impossible to translate the true meaning of some of those words...😂
Car guys all over the world are the same language, and car models may be different but we're all good people! Thank You for sharing this great story!
Yeah man, old school gearheads are the best!
That was the best thing ever, building the trike and giving it to their friend, great video enjoyed watching the fun times!
Glad you enjoyed!
An amazing gift for dries awesome rides all around amazing adventure brothers
Thanks
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support!
Apart from Flytrap, I love the Karma ghia and the Zepher / Consul. The trike was a very cool touch
They were both cool!
Silver Holden Monaro was a nice spot
An amazing gift for dries
You should build a vintage camper to pull behind your truck.
Man, that terrain looks just like the desert where I live in S.E. Arizona. We have a "Pan" (Playa) about 50 miles away near Wilcox Arizona.
If I had a pan only 50 miles away, I'd probably be there every weekend!😅
@@ratrodsafrica They won't let us out there. They want to protect the environment even though a railroad runs right through the middle of it 😂🤣
@mattthescrapwhisperer there are benefits to living in a so-called third world country 😅
@@ratrodsafrica Ha!
Ahhh the boys and their toys!
Fun stuff.
That's like driving 437 miles one way hell yeah 👍
Well, we build them to drive them! Not to be ornaments! 🙂
Let's go uncle
I think they should call it stofpan dustpan
Boet......That karmann Ghia is Aaaaaawsome!!..... living in UK since 1993. Yes ..... Ashamed Boet!!!
Never too late to come home. You will be smiling when you come with pounds!
looks serious fun . but be home before streetlights come on or you'll cop a floggin from mum..ask me how i know lol
you build good stuff Div 700km n no issues on both cars then good times on pan. you know your stuff sir..i dont think we have similar here..but ill ask around
Thanks. What's the point of building cars if you don't drive them?😀
I'm hanging out for the yellow bug😭
All work and no play turns Jack into a dull boy! 😅Will get back on it soon!
If the dust was red you'd be in Australia
FN A Brother ...
👊👍
Thats 435 miles my usa friends
Why put plastic between the ball and hitch ? I thought the frame was part of the ground ? Jus curious
It's a form of lubricant that's not messy like grease🙂 Correctly done trailer wiring has a ground in the plug. One should never ground through the ball
Why do I see a caravan build in your future Div Lekka
😂👍
Was that a ford Barra the guy in the car wrenching Ona big turbo engine...we don't have them here. I'm a ford 6 guy.. man I't would be coold to put a Barra in my old truck. Nobody would know what it is

@@jacqeusmouton4005 amazing ! Thanks for sharing. I'm up in Ontario Canada. We don't have that platform (as you know) it would be so cool t have one
Yeah, that car is quite special. One can get insane hp from those Barra engines
Hi Div wat van n nuwe video?
Dag 2 sal Sondag aand 8 uur op wees🙃
Whats the temp there... thanks
I don't really know, but with that horrible wind blowing, it was chilly all the time!
awb boeremag
What does that mean?
Ay . I think you did not translate properly to English ...😂 There was much 'vloeking 'that you cleaned up 😂😂😂 ...
It's just not possible to translate choice Afrikaans vloek words!😂
