Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

by **H@nk** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 4:31 pm

Hey Warren,

Thanks for your nice words and good advice. When I was looking or watching your album, I saw, you wanted a teardropshape like a midget. Well, dear Warren, this is exactly the same shape I'm building.
I have also an other link for you. Unfortunaly it is in German, but the way you speak Afrikaans and understand english, it should be easy for you.

I make mine of two sheets 5x10 foot, or in metrics, 3.o5 meter by 1.53 meter.
There is also a drawning by Mike in the section traditonal builds, Mini T@b
for Henk.

Greetings Henk

Hallo Barrie,

Ofschoon Nederlands mjn moedertaal is, moet ik de berichten die jullie 2 mij sturen heel langzaam lezen, omdat dit een schrijfstijl is die wij nederlanders al 300 jaar niet meer leren. Toch vind ik het heel leuk om min of meer in mijn eigen taal te kunnen reageren.

And now in english:

While Dutch is my nature language, I have to read the Afrikaans letters verry slowly, because the writng way is the writing we don't use for more than 300 years. But it stays cool to communicate in my own language.
And further some information about the build I make now, the N@b T@b.
Btw, is Durban Acity not far away from Johannesburg? Because some family of me stayd there for about 35 years ago, in the little village Umbogentwini.

Warren, come on, be a man, built it yourself. And make a nice downloaded background, print it out in a poster size, put it behind your selfbuilt T@b and there you are.

Hi Warren,

You're not going to believe me, but I saw a T@B in Pilanesberg once! The guy was an English (British) National and imported his T@B to South Africa.

Interesting...

Ditto!!

I have to read Dutch also very carefully, but can certainly understand it!!

By the way, did you know that Afrikaans is officially the youngest language in the world? Apparently it is only about 100 years old!

Hi Henk /

Canna build... da body corp won't be liking ammerin & clatterin :thumbdown:

All me avail parking's already occupied.... :thumbdown:

but mees got da spendmees

Now for one of lifes little ironies...

My ancestory on my paternal side lies in the Dutch component. On my marternal side it is Irish. chew on that for a mix. :roll:

I work for Germans.

My Prevous CEO is Jewish

Whilst working for the Jewish guy, I approved the German guy to supply who then poached the Dutch / Irish guy (me) from the Jewish guy who still gets his product certified by the same Irish / Dutch guy (me) only for free caus he now works for the German guy.

Some how me thinks the Jewish guy still walked away on top or what?

Da story, she no stop there....

14 Years ago, the Dutch / Irish guy (me) who was working for the Jewish guy, fostered a young boy through welfare.

When the Jewish guy met the Dutch / Irish guy's brand new son,

big sparks flew around...

Da new son of da Dutch / Irish guy (me) and the son of da Jewish guy had previously got into da dwang together and the matter had to be sorted out by the cops! :oops:

14 years on the son of the Dutch / Irish guy is now employed by the Jewish guy Oy-Vey!!!

Now mees good in Hebrew, Dutch, Irish, German & teenager! :twisted:

Life's a barrel of laughs :lol:

have one for free!

Warren,

Sorry to hear there is no space left for an other build, but can't you make a flat of the stuff you have already? than you have one place for an extra build.
Be inventive.

BTW, better write Afrikaans, because all of the mix between Irish, Dutch, German and Jewish makes me dizzling. Strange thing, there are no Russians in this story. :lol:

Barrie,

I think you are wrong about Afrikaans has to be the youngest language in the world. What thinking about SMS- or msn language? They are much younger. You know what way you write "wait"? W8, Waiting? W88.
See u ltr, Hnk

Henk / Barry

Here's creative...

Take one clever American (whose spending power is 7 times greater than ours),

Send him the telephone number of a clever trailer maker in SA (To get around local content ETC),

Let the American send the bodies in knockdown to the trailer guy... Put it on the market at under R30 K :thumbsup:

An me'll buy one!!!

You think CI will go an howl their eyes out :crying2:

to their buddies in goverment again?

Have a lekker dag
Warren

Hi all..

I’ve introduced your forum to Billibo.

Just like Madjack, :worship:

Billibo be a Big Bloke on our local forum, he be da administrator. :worship:

He an me has bin havin some conversations about our forum an I want to show da local boys what makes an exciting & vibrant forum. :thumbsup:

I’ve also noticed that some of the technical queries raised on this forum (and visa-versa) are very closely related to questions on our forum so the answers are quite relevant and If I am able to put questions & answers together then me thinks job well done.

I’ll also post website address for this forum on our forum so that our good citizens can also get jealous :envious:

Now, as you all know, I can't be doin much buildin of me own TT / Tear :crying2:

and even though I've got the spend-mees I can't be doing much buyin (there aint anything to buy) :crying2:

but I did show My collegue at the salt mine this forum and he bin doin much dezinin & drawin, so I'll try to see if I can keep y'all up on his build

Regards
Warren

The more the merrier, Warren! Who knows, maybe you can find someone who has space to build, and give them the itch to build. You and he could build two at once! Much faster and probably cheaper than building them one at a time!

I wanna have a grouch… :thumbdown:

S’pose this be a good a place as any….

As a result of me getting the quality management systems ISO approved, the company has been approved to supply into the armaments industry…. :thumbdown:

Now their Quality Manager / team is coming round for an audit…. :roll:

Problem is, I don’t know that I want to supply that industry….. It ain’t up to me, but I’d much rather stick with turning re-cycled Coca-Cola tops into flower pots (turning junk into green & growing thingies) :thumbsup:

The things we do.... Sigh!
