It is again time for Footprints Johan Badenhorst and his team. On 1 September this year take their way through the untamed Africa, of Alexandria, in Egypt, where two oceans ontmoed, the beloved Cape Agulhas. Four months of fun and adventure await these men.
John said that he had discovered that the lighthouse in Alexandria is an exact replica of the one in Cape Agulhas. The only difference is that the one in Alexandria of steel building and one in Cape Agulhas of stone and cement. rapid
During the planning stage, rapid Johan looking for suitable vehicles for the trip across the length of Africa. Last year, they nevertheless attempted Casablanca to Cape Town, and completed with Toyota Land Cruisers. Toyota has an excellent record in Africa and the Footprints team was very happy with the performance of the 70 series Cruisers, and this is also the reason why Toyota the first auto manufacturer who approached them for a sponsorship of vehicles for this year's expedition.
The past year Johan hard negotiations with Toyota, and there was initially decided to embark rapid on this year's trip in a Toyota rapid Hilux. During December 2010, it was decided that the Toyota Hilux, Artic Truck 35 will be made available for these African expedition. (The Arctic Truck 35 this year at the KKNK Festival showcased the new Footprints vehicles), but it seems at this stage whether the Artic Truck Project will not come off of the ground. Negotiations took place between Artic Trucks Iceland, Toyota and Imperial, but they could not reach a decision comes. What was clear is that Toyota does not Johan and his team Footprints in the foreseeable future vehicles can not provide. rapid Their disappointment was evident, for they looked quite this Monters of the North and South Pole by the hard, taking ongetmede Africa.
Johan has not togelaat this teleursltelling bring him stride and it also does not mean that he has not stopped the negotiations with Toyota. No, Johan has its options open for the Toyota Land Cruiser celebrates its 60th betaansjaar which is a little hope and opwindending posed. Toyota could not with three vehicles for this expedition on Saturday, as the Footprints sponsorship makes out part of their 2011 budget.
This meant that John had another plan had to make, and Nissan was his next stop. Nissan was eager to meet the team of steroid laden, Navara and the Patrol workhorse, but for this option could be finalized, Volkswagen entered the fray with the release of two double cabin and a single cabin Amarok.
John and his team for the first time with the Amarok introduced at the Nampo at Bothaville in 2010. John's first impressions of this vehicle was that the engine is too small, but it should be borne in mind that Amarok rapid by Volkswagen was used as livestock vehicles during the 2010/2011 Dakar rally in South America. Here passed the Amarok with flying colors.
There will most likely be a little changes should be brought to the vehicle, such as a modified suspension and perhaps even a bit bigger wheels, but one thing is sure, the Amarok will definitely Africa be ready on 1 September rapid when John and his footprints rapid team from Egypt departures.
Mario Ferreira, a principal property of Sedgefield, is the proud owner of a Volkswagen Amarok TDI 4 4 and has already traveled 20,000 miles in his vehicle. He was very impressed the Amaro's spacious interior with equipment and ride comfort of a luxury car. Mario says the Amarok dragging his Boss caravan better than his red sticker beplakte, 2.8 TDI and even better than its previous 3.2 station wagon. Thanks to the Amarok's stability and advanced suspension leaves a dirt road like a highway feel and with limited glybeheer, 4 4 system and rear differential locks, there is no stopping this vehicle, not even just with 2 wheels the land. The fuel consumption of the Amarok is on average 11km per liter and improved over long distances up to 15 km per liter.
If you find this vehicle's 120kW and 400Nm of torque compared with its famous opponent who also 120kW, but only 340nm torque rapid delivery, I think it speaks for itself. There is more than enough power for even in its 6th gear speed to pick at Mossel Bay Height from. The idea that it is only a 2L engine rapid is not first come into your head.
There are few negative rapid things about the Amarok to say according to Mario. He had only one complaint, its keys have a tendency to get regular feet, especially if the wife in the round, rapid because she can not keep hands off the steering wheel. She chose the Amarok before her own vehicle. This is also a proof that the Amarok even meet with the approval of the fairer sex.
