Best Beetle Cape Town?

Post by Tony Z »

I am sure we all know about this outfit...

anyway, has anyone heard anything about them recently?

When I left home on 30 March they were still operating, with their tow truck going past my gate a few times a day...
My SO said their grounds were on auction, either yesterday or today.

News anyone?

No news, but I've seen their poor bugs up and down quite a bit in the last few days as well

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

I just drove past one of their beetles today in Malmesbury. Looking worse than ever, but haven't heard any news yet.

He has/had two small holdings in Mikpunt.
I can see their main "repair" area from my front yard
But why one would end up on auction if he is still financially OK is beyond me.
