DOWN TO THE DAM

Received a call from my buddy Frenchie early Saturday morning wanting company for a ride he had planned to the best pie shop in the Eastern Cape but Buddha  and myself had already planned going down to the dam something we had tried before but never made it due to Mike R breaking his BM
Buddha to the rescue the only diesel mechanic I know that can work on BM
