I got a lead on a bus in Beaufort West a few months ago, I could'nt get any pics of it from the owner - it was tucked into a corner of his his dark garage and was apparently surrounded by too much junk and stuff - I found this hard to believe (I mean really !), but when we arrived to fetch the bus, I realized that the oke was serious - I thought that I had a "problem", but hells bells, this dude takes 1st prize
Anyway I took a chance and paid a deposit for the bus without seeing it. I could only go fetch it a few months later - which we did last weekend.
Sean and the 1975 Merc were the willing partners on the venture and we left on Friday afternoon. Nothing beats a Karoo sunset - any excuse to hit the long road to the Karoo, the peace and quiet and the folk and sights are always a blessing.
We arrived after dark, dropped the trailer off in the dudes yard, and made it just in time to check into Grandmas Place at 20h00. Nothing special about the this place, but it was clean and neat and not too expensive.
Come the crow of the cock the next morning we were at the dudes gate. Somehow the old fella had loaded the bus onto the trailer himself !!! Good man - this gave us time to check out his "stuff" - eish serious hoarding issues here - but what lovely goods for the eye .....................
