CAR March '72 ad by Capital Motors, Pretoria, showing some wheel options for the 411. Top pic 4-stud EMPI Sprintstars, I have no idea with bottom pic

Where do you find all these old ads, they are sweet. Thanks

Ja, I used to walk down Proes Straat every day in 1981 on my way to Tech. They pay extra rates there, to keep the "r" in the name.

ROFLMAO @ Ron

Ja, they say it is "THE" most important R in Pretoria

One of those names you don't don't mention with a mouth full of food - or on a bad phone line...

I remember a story that Oom Jan told of his visit to Pta once.

He stopped to ask for directions.The girl started to blush and he realised something was wrong.He turned his window up,grabbed the piece of paper where he wrote down the directions and read it for a couple of minutes.

He rolled down the window ad said to the girl,:"Sorry my girl,it's pRoes street".

My pal and I were driving over Helhoogte towards Franschhoek, and it was longer than I expected and I said, "Donner, waa's Pniel? "

"Da'", says my pal "net langs Pnoes!" Mens kannie huishou met die mens nie, ek se jou.

In English, it's Crunt Street

There is of course a town in the UK called c##t. Maybe they pay the same extra council tax... It's up near Grimsby, in case anyone wondered...

I had a good laugh at this one!!

Never underestimate the importance of an R

The girl in the first pic doesn't look impressed at all.

She spotted the spelling mistake?
