Just some pics from a trip in my Westy, especially for old Herman that believes original cars are not used. :wink:

Original 1600 single port motor cruising well.

On the roads less travelled.

Just a quick stop at a second hand store in Bredarsdorp and look what I found amongst some household items. Think I paid about R100 for the lot. :lol:

No, jokes aside, that is nice to see that the van is used, and not just an statue to be polished.

Just a pity it broke down just as you took the sand road picture...... :roll:
