errr... and what exactly is a hill-climb?
Any special requirements to compete .. like helmets or lisences or summin?

Drive up a steep as hill with some really tight turns as fast as u can.

dont pull a lotus7 maouvre and wedge it under the armco or a an MG move and roll it off the cliff onthe first turn!! make that off the cliff and thru a barbed wire fence actually!!

Its the road by the sirport. Glue factory at the top of the hill and sewage plant at the bottom of the hill....Hence the nose peg!!!

The Hill is next to the airfield. It is the hill that comes up from the sewerage works.

You will need a helmet. MSA licenses are still under discussion.

If you turn left into the road that makes a T junction with the currently used entrance to the Krugersdorp licence dept the road will lead u straight to the hillclimb. Road signs read Percy Steward Sewerage Works but it smells like it does't work

I see I did a 53sec time with the Caddy and a 51 with the C32 last year. This year I aim to do a sub 50sec time with the GTI.

Damn, I'm going to miss the hillclimb

It's my girlfriends birthday and we are going to Durban to visit her parents, but I wouldn't be able to go if I was in Johannesburg anyway.

What is the saying, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

'

Will have to wait till next year

I would love to have some fun too

, the only thing stopping me is insurance. I know my insurance co. does not cover any damages on an event like this and I am not about to risk my R290k Volvo to have some fun (**** must really be getting old now

). What do you guy's with the expensive toy's do for insurance when competing?

FuZz · Post by **FuZz** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 3:09 pm

Just tell the insurance it happen somewhere else.

Just don't have an accident.

Seriously, it is not that dangerous, and you go at your own pace. It's mostly 2nd and 3rd gear stuff.

The type of damage you are likely to incur there is of the type when "... swerving for a white dog;being pushed of the road by a taxi;hitting a pothole and going off the road; hitting a piece of retread tyre at high speed... etc etc...."
Just have the cellphone number of somebody with a rollback recovery vehicle handy... No problem!
