Definitely dude, my car will be needing some attention not a lot but enough, parts I want are either too expensive or not available here.

That's what I heard hey.. Some guy bought it new I'm not even too sure from where he bought her, But I got her from her 2nd owner and the car was standing still for a bit, similar to what you guys would call a ''Barn Yard Find" we suppose to be the Africans yet the English are looking for cars in barns! :lipsrsealed:

Post by: Jay on 09 October 2009, 13:58: Durban FTW yo :cool: Best place to grow up (and has warm sea's :tongue: )

over here they look in barns for cars and pay ££££'s for them, over there they just look in the street, pick up a brick and take the car - or wait for the kind owner to warm it up first then jump in and take it off his hands :laugh:

Haha if you really from SA you would know that the crime levels here are highly overrated! ££££'s things look so cheap over there, £1000 for a mk3!! My car was about R60 000!! I think that's about £5000 something.. This guy sold a import Mk2 the other day for about £6700!!!!

I don't know about the lack of jobs there's only a lack if you have no qualifications or study something everyone else did. I'm a engineering student and engineering is Africa's most lacked [BIG WORD] haha :grin:

I love Cape Town, I dont think I would ever move out of here permanently :smiley:
