Are you talking about Sean Tyler's place?

He has a pretty impressive collection, including an amazing array of bonnet mascots, lots of old signs, oil/fluid cans & containers etc etc etc.

But the most amazing thing in the whole collection (for me anyway) is the art-deco and earlier styled trolley jacks!!!

Please post pics (if it's the same place - or even if it's not :wink: )- I never took any when I was there last.

If you ever have the opportunity to get to the toy museum in Stellenbosch then make sure you go...it's amazing. There are 1000s of models and vw's in any shape and size feature quite well.

Same thing happened on the George Challenge. Passing the small town of Bethulie, I saw 'Die Ou Kar Restaurant' by accident on the GPS, we went to go and have a look.... and left our mark! Good memories...
