OK Digger so what if I stay with a KJ here in the US but drive a Yota in Tanzania?
Hope its OK as we bought one to drive over there.
Really hard to find and REAL expensive to find a used Jeep in a condition that I would want to buy it.

Tanzania is kinda like Vegas :twisted:

What happens in Tanzania stays on Tanzania :rockon:

That's good cause I don't want to tell how many women will be hugging and kissing me all over!

Finalizing plans tomorrow for tickets.
Lots to do yet
They have to finish the addition to the house yet.
Adding two bathrooms, small kitchenette, living room and bedroom onto her parents home.
Walls are up, roof to be done this week and then start on the inside!!! No more driving 30 miles back into town every night for a Hotel.
Yota has to be delivered to Tanzania and checked into the country.
Jessica has to learn how to drive it so she can come and pick me up! :shock:

Hope there is something left for me to drive by the time I get there! :ROTFL:

Sounds like that might be better than taking the bus........ MAYBE :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Apr 18, 2010 11:48 pm

Well the buses were interesting to say the least.
We went in the Class A buses most of the time. On the way back to Dar-es-Salaam ( 7 -8 hour trip by bus) from Dodoma on my way home I wanted to try the buses that haul the average people.
WOW I now know
They do not sell much deodorant to men there! :shock:

You can bring your chickens with you! :roll:

Yes live chickens one laid an egg while on the trip.
If it says only 65 passengers allowed
it really means that many sitting, you can and will have 100 or more on there :ROTFL:

each with their arm pit at your face level :cry:

But then I think to travel in any new country you have to see how it really is. Traveling in an Air conditioned bus with all kinds of room does not allow you to meet those interesting people who travel by other means.
But I love the country and the people.

Its bad for sure! That.s pretty much the view of Kili you have from her parents house, well minus the long necked things standing there! :ROTFL:

Ready to go with me Tony?
This time ride in a Yota :-)r

yodejt02 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 20, 2010 1:59 pm

I dont know Tom did you see the last TopGear challenge from season 14. The Yota didnt fair so well, think it was a FJ40. The unreliable 80 era Land Rover......well wan't great but made it (so did a susuki somthing or other)

Everyone that hasnt seen it should. Off-roading at its best!

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:06 pm

I keep hearing about that. Sean keeps telling me he'll download it for me but haven't seen it yet. :cry:

The Yota is not my choice trust me, but rather my wife's and plus her and I looking at what we can turn into profit in a few months or a year. She gets a huge tax break since she teaches at a government funded University, so with that and looking at what sells the quickest that's what we bought.

yodejt02 · **Posted:** Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:15 pm

well I will say for it that initially the yota's starter was bad, had really no brakes, and when team Topgear decided they needed to modify their trucks Richard Hammond decided to go with the lifted suspension bigger wheels and not to regear!!!! Thus leading to the rear drive shaft falling off and the transfercase to grenade. Somehow those Brits were able to make the yota into a front wheel drive machine though!!!
