Aircooled VW South Africa

Lives in Nam,but has a co.za e-mail addy!!

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

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

Some interesting reading!

All I can say is

GOTCHA SUCKERS!!!!

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!

i am sure jaap would have made many instant friends! and a good point...

Great one Adriaan--- I wondered if you were were going to have one over on us all------

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.

Like CandyZZZ

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

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).

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

What were your stress levels like between 05h21 when you posted the first post and 06h45 when you posted the second post. Or were you hoping every body would still be asleep???
