What on earth is a bokwa...

Laeveld toe op ‘n stywe draffie
Ry ons met ons ou geroeste bakkie
Hoop dat ons dit sal maak tot daar
Want die bakkie se alles is nou klaar

Groot geword in die bokwa
hom nuut gekoop, hy die trots van my pa
nou gestaan nooit gery en opgeroes
ONS wou nie met hom ry nie maar ONS moes

What da hell? n Afrikaans persoon in Slummies? :whistle: :wtf: :p
 
:D Yes n "bokwa" would be a goat wagon. Any wagon or cart with little to no suspension that bounces when you ride it is called a bokwa.
Even older bakkies with very hard leaf springs where called n bokwa because of the suspension tendency to bounce so badly.

Don't tell your Afrikaans mate his car drives like a bokwa. He will feel offended lol

will roughly translate

Going to the low Feld on a steady pace
driving our rusted bakkie
Hope we will make it there
because everything on the bakkie is finished

grew up in this old bakkie (bokwa)
bought it new, my dads pride
never used and rusted to bits
we did not want to drive the bakkie but we had to.

Ford Credit deals FTW!
 
Well, before the deals it hovered in the 650ish pm range , so would still have been top performer.

How's your one going?

Still perfect according to mommy. Will definitely keep Mr SSBird waiting for another 3-4 years. Have started saving for the Ford warranty extension which I need to buy before she turns 4.
