Following Retrovan's excellent idea for a thread, I was wondering if anyone can identify where and when this pic was taken?
I don't know myself, and also don't know who took the pic.

The mountain in the background seems quite distinctive; I'm sure one of the cape locals will recognise it.
My guess is somewhere between Hermanus and Stanford.

Remember seeing that picture somewhere, think it was a club run to the Pringle Bay/Rooi Els area? Quite like the look of that first buggy!

The road looks to be a sand road, and the mountain looks to be the one at Lady Slipper in the Eastern Cape as seen from the N2 just outside of Port Elizabeth.

Let me guess... Peru. Arequipa
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
