Would love to meet some "Air Cooled Family Members"
Hi
We (Nathaniel and Anita from Belgium) are exploring African trails with our VW bus "Beso del Sol". Because it's always a pleasure meeting "VW Family" we are very interested in meeting friends from Air Cooled Clubs or join them at meetings.
Of course we know very little of the African VW scene.
We would love to hear from you about Air cooled Clubs in South Africa or the surrounding country's and about upcoming events.
Thanks!

Hi Guys
I am sure there will be plenty interested people who would like to meet you, but first we need rough dates of when you will be in SA and where?
Jolas @jolas is quite involved in a show coming up next weekend in the Cape Town area - maybe he will chip in with details

Re: Would love to meet some "Air Cooled Family Members"
Hi guys
Beso del Sol is a 1989 T2 made in Brazil. While traveling South America with the backpack we bought it in Chile. Drove it all the way down to Ushuaia and then got the crazy idea to drive it up north to Alaska. After this adventure we shipped it to Belgium.
Now, two years later, the time has come for a African adventure.
We'll probably will arrive Thursday in Cape Town and looking forward to join the event!
Some pics from "Die Hel".
