The report was glowing when I fetched the bakkie from D&B Motorcare in Durban. Fully serviced, “It’s in wonderful shape, ready for your trip to Zimbabwe,” said the reliable father and son team who keep it shipshape.
Um, except ‘One front tyre is wearing skwiff, have the wheels aligned, OK?’
So off to Richards Bay where the Tyre Tannies had more to say. Something about wearing skwiff, yes, but also different tyres, de-laminating, bulging, ens. And why are the Oom, who’s a Swanepoel, speaking English? So four new matching tyres were needed, not just an alignment, it turned out.
NOW the bakkie’s perfect. In many ways . .
