    Webafrica: WHERE IS MY F*&KING REFUND

    Hi, So, I got Rain's LTE with Webafrica unfortunately. Had it for a month or 3, and cancelled just before emigrating. Organised collection of their router on 19 December 2017, and spent the whole bloody day waiting for their useless collection company. Nothing. Tried to get them to...

    2017 Land Rover Discovery (Disco 5)

    To each his own... I for one cannot think that this would have a speck of the road presence the current Disco has. It now looks like a softroader... or another version of the Evogue. :crylaugh:

    2017 Land Rover Discovery (Disco 5)

    Yea...To me that is the only legit 4x4 :cry: Upside is now we have 3 on the farm. Bought a 2013 model. Brilliant vehicles. And no, no oil loss or transmission issues since 1996 (the two older ones), to all the land cruiser fanboys that we've had to help out of the sand over there. :D

    2017 Land Rover Discovery (Disco 5)

    Well...I for one like the current generation way more...but then I grew up with two Defenders on our farm so the boxy shape is what a serious SUV should look like... Guess I'll have to dream about the Geländewagen from now on :p

    Retarded speed limit in complex...

    of 10 kmph... I pretty much walk that fast. Is that really reasonable? I went 15 according to my GPS, which is 20 on the car's speedo (yea, huge discrepancy I know...) and I have no problem stopping in a few metres. My car almost stalls at 10 without working the bloody clutch. Got two...
