Yes exactly! But with a couple of random detours like heading into the mountains in Swaziland to visit a 'special herb' plantation and into St. Lucia to hunt for grazing hippos at night. I did the bungee too, amazing. And fulfilled a lifelong dream of surfing at J-Bay. Some amazing roads in SA, and some pretty hairy ones! Oh, and you've never seen a pothole until you've driven in Africa!  Sorry to go o/t ________________________________________ ’00 Moonstone GTi6My Flickr Photostream |

Good stuff, yeh some of the road were just epic, did take some bad wrong turns though, heading to a party in Pretoria and ended up pretty deep in to Soweto  and somewhere very off the beaten track driving down to Durban to get some  and i think it was market day. got some very funny looks being the only white kids for around 100 miles in a little corsa but the jump was awesome, now need to find the highest comercial skydive  (any ideas where this is btw anyone! google has failed me)________________________________________ Ex-Black 6 - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

you can import the car as a breaker and can import as many cars as you like but its a huge tax. mate imports 4x4s without engines and gearboxes and imports those elsewhere......I lived in Hatfield PA never saw a 306 pug, though hundreds of renaults!! ________________________________________ 306 less for first time in nearly 7 years. Lets keep it that way... please refuse any offers i make to buy your 306 ( doctors letter supplied by request)Marmite and cheese sandwiches anyone???
