Re: Herbie in Edenvale
No it was not that one I am sure it is a forum members ride the driver was a young dude.
I drove passed in the co bakkie and waved to the driver and he waved back, I am sure it was theqs, just waiting for conformation from him.
And Pine I saw you on the N3 north by the Van Buuren onramp about a week ago and I wanted to stop but I was not in the left hand lane

Hi there,
Don't think it was me, as I was not driving Herbie then, only took him out on Saturday evening and was going to a dinner party. So there must be another one around? Was this guy bald?

Re: Herbie in Edenvale
Sorry for the hijack.
This was a month or so ago, and I forgot about it, till I read this post, you will see why shortly..
Was driving down Bram Fisher rd in Randburg the other day, saw a nice looking Herbie at a petrol station, and (don't tell the metro cops), activated my cellphone camera with a deft flick of the wrist a, la James bond
, and took this in-motion picture. I think it was pretty damn well done while driving in traffic
, anyone know this Herbie owner? Forum member perhaps?
Hijack OVER.

Re: Herbie in Edenvale
Would be cool to get them all together! Start getting details for all Herbies we see and let's put together a list of where and who? What you all think?
Cheers

No the driver was a "young guy" with dark hair
