Welcome here Fred,

1st time in Cape Town, or South Africa???

Air Cooled Guys always welcome here, as long as they do not take our Toys with them when they leave !!

The Cape Town guys will no doubt fill you in on our places of interest.

Franschhoek Motor Museum.....definitely.

Will visit franshoek mm today. Any aircooled shops in the region????

Just over the Franschhoek Pass (a must drive if you're in Franschhoek) in Villiersdorp is Andreno VW Engine Builders. There's always interesting stuff to see and Andre and Arno are great people as well.

How about telling us a bit more about yourself in the new members thread Fred?
