+Wazat Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Just wondering, what is everyone's cacher mobile. Do you tackle it by foot or have a great big 4x4. Post your pics. The more outrageous the road/trail to vechicle ratio the better. I have a little Corsa Lite that I seem to drive where it definitely shouldn't go. I allways refer to it as my 4x4. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Wazat I have two cacher mobiles: 99% of my caches was done with a Golf V, and we have done Stairway to Heaven GCV9TM using the Golf V all the way up the mountain. The bakkie is only for places where I know the little one will not go. P.S. don’t tell as my next service is due on the maintenance plan. Quote
+cincol Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Hi All Cannot fathom out how to post a picture. Easier - check out the following caches to see the photos by clicking on the "images"! GC17840 ; GC1795X ; GC14R7H [the white one is mine the black one is Martin's] My cachemobile is a Mitsubishi Nativa GLS 4x4 3,0 V6 [the Pajero's 1st cousin here] Matin has the Chevrolet Trailblaser LT 4x4 4,0 V6 Believe me, if you wanna cache here these are what you need! BTW, our petro; is 80c per litre!! Happy caching Quote
+LeonW Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Naa, you only need a Opel Astra, found some of the caches that were hidden with Land Rovers over the weekend at the Magoebaskloof Event. (It was fantastic, going back to find the unfounded ones soon.) Obviously I had to complain about the mud-tracks and the high "middelmannetjies" the 4x4 vehicles create! Quote
+Alien3Inc Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Who needs a 4x4 when you can use a mountain bike? Have a look at GC178A4, or at Cabey's logs for GC146B7 and GC1479E. Quote
+BornAdventures Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 My little Fiat Palio does the trick! It's tackled many mountains and never given a problem. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 My little Fiat Palio does the trick! It's tackled many mountains and never given a problem. I loved to see that smile on the Cache Mobile when is on the mountains, It will change to a grin!!!! Well done TeamTGF Quote
+vespax Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Stupid question, but is that your real bumper? Or photoshop. *hoping for real. Quote
+BornAdventures Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry to dissapoint you Vespax, it was Photoshopped. The Children at the school one day would not believe me that my car is related to lightning McQueen, so I had to bring them photographic evidence. Now, according to the kids, I've got the coolest car in the school and whenever we take them on outings, the whole class tries to cram on the backseat to ride in Lighting McKing! Quote
+Team Ginger Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 My 4x4 Corsa takes me everywhere! Quote
+Wazat Posted November 24, 2007 Author Posted November 24, 2007 OK so it is now 2 4X4 Corsa's, whooooo whooo Quote
+Goofster Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 My Cachemobile #1 is a BMW 318ti, which has been up some very interesting trails! Cachemobile #2 is a Yamaha XJR400. Quote
+vespax Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I cruise in a doppy little red Mazda 323. It goes 4x4ing in some rough areas because I could careless what happens to it. Geo-P and I also find some caches in this mean machine... Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Hey guys My little cache mobile is a 1.9d Citroen Belingo Panel van think postman pat van courtesy of pixi photos, plus fuel card hey hey. so i drive around with 2 gps on my dashboard i had to get a nuvi 660 as it was easier than trying to get maps for my 60cs. so as i drive i can see a cache pop up and make a detour to it, although winter its a little hard as it's dark when i leave for work and home, but we make a plan as you know. I'll pop a pic as soon as i can probably the weekend. Have fun out there guys and when you coming to visit us. We seeing Rhino and Hedgehog soon. Quote
+Wazat Posted December 6, 2007 Author Posted December 6, 2007 Oh my goodness I can just imagine you in that Bats.... I need to see this, post the pic .... Hurry I need a good laugh..... Quote
XV Pilot Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Mez and I go Geocaching in a '77 VW Beetle (with a few modifications) that has yet to be defeated by any terrain. Admittedly we haven't really pushed her over rocky ground, but she is very much at home on sand. She even towed a Hilux out of trouble once. You can see a pic of her as my avatar. - XV Pilot Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) my cache mobile on the beach, i got stuck but managed to get free as i knew how to get out, we are luck here to still be able to drive on the beach, almost any beach that has access to the beach. I do know that Citroen make a Berlingo 4x4 now how do i convince my company that i need one. Edited December 17, 2007 by batsgonemad and his squirrel Quote
+Wazat Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 And modeling this winters beach fashion wear......... Whhaaaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaa, lovely lad..... Get that 4X4. Tell em that outdoor kids photography in the wild is the way to go. Quote
+Wazat Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 So you live in the Cape and have lovely sea views, but that water is cold. I would not brag about that. Oh wait this is about cacher mobiles...... Nice...... I can show you a few caches that that might get to..... At least me Corsa 4X4 can. Quote
+anlufu Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 No we live in the Southern Cape on the Indian ocean, where the water is warm (even if the weather isn't!) I miss my Corsa! Quote
+Wazat Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Tell you what I will swap you my Corsa for your Hummer and I will throw in 3 unactivated TB's a Micro container and a unused logbook and pencil. Quote

+Wazat Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Ok the Corsa with a fresh coat of mud..... LOL Quote
+anlufu Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Just to make Wazat a little more jealous: Camaros Okay, we've never used them for caching! Quote
+vespax Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Just to make Wazat a little more jealous:Camaros Okay, we've never used them for caching! Oh sweet! Butt-rocking it all the way to the cache. GnR is a requirement on the tape deck! Quote

Butt-rocking it all the way to the cache. GnR is a requirement on the tape deck! Eish. FTF se dingis... you could get to a cache before it's published with one of those.... LOL Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 hmmm is that anlufu's cache mobile i see in the background Quote
+Wazat Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Geeze I started the thread and never put up a picture.... Here is the little guy in his element. Quote
+Nish4 Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Rented cars make the best cache mobiles (ask Noddy) On a recent visit to Durbs we traveled to the Midlands and put a Toyota Verso to the test... Nice. Quote
Zantus Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Here's one of my "Cache Mobiles"....the other, is a '06 VeloCiti Besides the big wheels, it also has a bit of punch in the form of a V8 engine under the bonnet, to get to the caches at a rapid rate Due to the fuel price, I tend to do most of my caching in the golf.....12km/l is a lot better than 4km/l Quote
+Discombob Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I use a clever combination of busses, trains and undergrounds! It works fairly well on the whole, exept for when you want to get out of the city and do some drive bys! Quote
+geocacher_coza Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) This is mine-- I'm training these new mobiles, diesel has just become to expensive! Mez and I go Geocaching in a '77 VW Beetle (with a few modifications) that has yet to be defeated by any terrain. Have you tried the VW on the route to the Platberg cache yet Edited April 19, 2008 by geocacher_coza Quote
+Wazat Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Have you tried the VW on the route to the Platberg cache yet Is that the road up to PLatberg? Is it like that all the way? They don't want to let me go up with thw Corsa.... Maybe I must take some photos along and show then the road up to the Love Rock cache or better still Memel escarpment once I get some pics of that road. Platberg looks like a walk in the park all cemented and everything. Geeez. Quote
+geocacher_coza Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Not all the way! Some places it is realy tricky. Lot of places the road is washed away etc. Quote
+Wazat Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 dadgum.... They have CITO events maybe we should have a new type called RR Events.... Road Reconstruction Events to get cars like 77 Beetles up them roads... Actually the beetle might make it anyway. back in the 70's the roads were probably just as bad.... Quote
+geocacher_coza Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Wazat When I'm back in SA I will PM you and we can meet in Harrismith and go and to Platberg. I will do it again just for the fun of it. I aslo would like to try my new Jeep on the route! Quote
+Wazat Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Sounds like a plan.... I am in that area every now and then.... So it will be great... It will add a close but not so close one to my list of finds. Great, look forward to it. Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 ever wonder what we carry in our cache mobile Quote
+Wazat Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 I see one big match to light a fire with. No that is bats... he just has no hair.... Kinda looks like a match though.... Oh wait, there inside, on the basket.... now i see it.... Quote
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Hummer who needs a Hummer now this is a cache mobile, saw one of these after the north west 200 race, come on taxi's you wanna take me on Edited May 19, 2008 by batsgonemad and his squirrel Quote
+Sparticus06 Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Hmmm...will have to come back and post pics. For now, I will list what I use to get to the caches. 1. Legs of course, gotta walk to most of the ones I do 2. 1999 Dodge Dakota 4x4with roof lights (for those night caches). Tend not to take the truck much anymore, gas prices and all, but there are some that I still need to do that I have to use the truck 3. My new 1989 Mazda MX6 LX. Just got this car, cant wait to go caching in it. 4. 2006 Yamaha Kodiak 450 4x4. Only use this when checking on 4 of my caches or if I happen to be riding in an area where there are caches that can be accessed by ATV. 5. Brand new Mongoose Moutnain bike. Great for the rails-to-trails caches and those long easy hike caches. Even have an ammo can on the luggage rack to store swsag. All of them are a travel bug seeing as I got one of those magnet-TBs.

+Red Chilli Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Moin moin I believe in 'Porridge not petrol' and use my Koga Miyata two wheeller.

+Red Chilli Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Hey Anlufu Now this is a small world, for sure I will look you up when next in M/bay, I sailed from there in '96 I think it was and plan to return.
