He he he thanks for the welcome, friends.. Guess I'll restore my Schwimmer myself, then?

Thanks for all the PMs and e-mails, you freaking TREASURE HUNTERS - even Merlin referred to it as a Buggy, and asked for first dibs to buy it!!

Some people call me Jaap, but my friends call me Pine :wink:

BTW, the REAL story about the Schwimmwagen in the pic here :arrow: http://images.google.co.za/imgres?imgur ... n%26sa%3DN

Some interesting reading!

GOTCHA SUCKERS!!!! :twisted:

But I think I have proved a point how easily a false character can be created to infiltrate the inner circle of the Forum... always keep that in mind!

amazing full story, worth a read.
But can you imagine, finding one in somewhere in Africa and not knowing what it was!
This one had April fools written all over it.

I wonder how old Jaap is doing? Haven't heard anything from him in two years, but I believe they've had some floods recently in Namibia :wink:

Speaking of Jaap an his schwimmwagen, it is unusually "quiet" for today's date, compared to previous years same time?

Wonder how Sambaowner/Snyx and Dirk's "Exporter-friendly forum" is doing? (Just joking).
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

Pine,
You wont believe me but when you posted that story the give away for me was the good english of Jaap
I stayed not far from Upington for a long time and not even the one or two souties that live there can speak the language like that . So I never bought the story but Iwas hoping that it was true .
cheers
