I spotted customised VW Bus in Somerset West
Hi, guys
I spotted a black VW bus en route to Somerset Mall, SSW on Saturday. The back of the bus was fitted with a khaki canvas. It looked as if it was geared out for camping. But I am completely unsure as to whether my assumption is correct.
Whether this is the case or not, could anyone please tell me how I could contact the owner? I'd love to do an interview with him for our mag.
And if anyone has any other clever VW/camping or VW/caravan or combo's they'd like to share, please send me a message.
Thanx,
BeetleGirl

Hi there Beetlegirl,
If you are looking for people to interview or contact numbers in the Cape Town area, you can give me a call on 082 763 1111 or 021 845 6702. We restore these vehicles and have lots of contacts with all sorts of Aircooled Vw's.
What is the name of you magazine, perhaps I could put you in touch with some other interesting folks too - depending on what it is you are looking for
Take care,
Es

I have the owners contact details and will enquire from him if he is interested. If he is I will let you have his cell number.
BUT, He must first give permission.
