The Nuts & Bolts Rally makes a pit stop at my shop! 36 muddy cars!

The organizer of the 2024 Nuts & Bolts Rally asked me if the rally cars could make a pit stop at my shop this year. Their route for the day follows dirt roads that are very close to my farm. We were planning for some fun on one of the grassy fields, but rain threw us a curveball!
A quick change of plans and everyone piled into my shop where we held a barbeque or "braai" as we say in South Africa.
This rally was the Garden Route version of 4 different fun events that are held every year. Cars must be pre 1990 and as cheap as possible. It's a 4 day event that travels along dirt roads to many different places, with an overnight stop at camp sites.

[@leonardwalters154]

Holy cow !! You had a whole herd at your shop 😂Dif good on you

[@dickowilley2642]

Looks like a fun group of ralliers (is that a word?). Just like the Variety Club Bash in Australia that makes a lot of money for charity every year. Old cars, great people and lots of fun. Well done Div and the nutty bolters.

[@cayminlast]

What an awesome gathering of some classic vehicles, looks like you had a fantastic group of people visiting your place, having lots of fun for a good cause. like we used to say, " Skud die Boom, daar val n' Blaar, al die manne bymekaar". Thanks Diff.

Thanks, boet! Yes, we had ideas, but the rain threw a curve ball. Next year! 🙂

[@RaysLaughsAndLyrics]

Rain, rain, rain. Forest Shop, feels your pain. Like the Ark of Noah Diff has shelter for ya. Two of every make and model, Forest Shop does now coddle. Dreary turns to happy. Food on the barby, Suds for barefoot dudes. Nuts and Bolts Rally, It's all the news. Thanks for sharing your exploits and travel, folks.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Another good one! Love it!

[@JustinPaul1st]

Diff i reckon that was a lekker jol...something you must make an annual event if not as often as they can...all in the name of charity 🎉🎉🎉

[@ratrodsafrica]

It is an annual event, but not stopping by me. We will see if we can change that!🙂

[@gregjobson4844]

It looked like a good time was had by all albeit with the rain, it sounds like the Nuts and Bolts is very much like the Variety Bash held in another S.A. ... South Australia

[@Mustsed]

That must have been an amazing time over there. So many new gearhaeds under Div's roof can't be bad. Thanks for sharing.

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Yooo! Div! What a fun time you guys had with the rally. Loved you guys getting them to do muddy wheel spinning. And great to see all sorts of cars and trucks!! Great honor to host that. . hope all is well boet!!

[@ratrodsafrica]

Hey brother! All good, just lots of other stuff happening at the moment... You know what it's like🙂

It's all about fun and gearhead camaraderie

[@kumaran7529]

Looks like great fun. Maybe you guys should start an event/club like this in other parts of the country. I would love to be a of that.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Check out the Nuts & Bolts website, they have events in other parts of the country too

[@terrencebuller7676]

Great fun Div, friends, family, what an awesome rally. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍

[@manicmechanic9117]

So this looks like the Gambler 500 rallies held in the US I have never been but the fun looks very similar . Rock on !

[@ratrodsafrica]

I reckon gearheads worldwide are pretty much the same😀

[@robertwilliams8010]

What a great organization for a great purpose! So cool to see all the different cars👍

[@psnaith1]

[@robertchall8576]

Looked like a great party . Diff where I grew up in Texas we had black gumbo mud if it started raining you better head to high ground the more would spin the bigger the tiers got 3 days latter you could drive a nail in it.❤❤❤

[@ratrodsafrica]

Whoa! Lucky we don't have that kind of mud here!

[@Raceydog]

I just met a couple from near Mussel Bay today!They are touring America and came by to shoot with us at a Cowboy Action Match. I wanted to give them something to take back with them and maybe meet up to give it to you, but it was short notice. Maybe they will stop by on their way back.

[@ratrodsafrica]

Small world!

[@Grizzmakes]

Befok Befok Befok. I love this thing. Love seeing all these cars that have long since rusted away in England out there. One of my all time favourite episodes Just because it is South Africa. I do miss my people.

[@ratrodsafrica]

😁👍

[@scottishcontentcreators]

Wow, what an amazing collection of cars. The garden route is beautiful and i remember visiting my friends holiday home (more like a big shed) in Knysna, a beautiful little place with an awesome beach. I miss South Africa so much, apart from my stay in Hillbrow in 96, that was a scary experience. Loving the beach buggy with the trailer, thats my fave 👍. It's nice that you guys are doing these things for charity.

[@ROBByJONEs-2]

what a great idea. might try that over here in oz. not many of us here have bolts anymore but we do have a healthy set of nutz..i think youre a true gentleman and a scholar Sir to open up incoming friendship to celebraye a great looking event.. 5 star stuff Div. power t u

Thanks brother!

our rainy season is about to start 2meters average per year (mid April to start of November)

That was awesome! It’s so cool that they raise money for charities, I hope they raise millions and lives are changed for the better !! Great video Div

Well, they certainly have been slowing progress lately! But we gotta have some other fun too 😁
