As hulle 3000km op 'n KTM350 kan doen in een dag en nog steeds normaal loop dan sal ek hulle 'n klop op die skouer gee.

My kop sal dronk wees na soveel laps.

Is dit nie waarvoor die liewe Vader perde and skaap honde gemaak het nie?

Only because the used the old Chevrolet engines. The newer Opel engines were all crap. I have personal experience with my 1996 Opel Astra 180iE.
