    I worked the Garden Route for 12 years as a Rep.
    I slept in Swellendam Police cells one night in 1982 while in the army after returning from 13 months on the border with 32, infantry and Koevoet. I was hitchhiking from PE back to 2 Military hospital in Cape Town. The kid who picked me up in Swellendam crashed his mums Opel Manta into a ditch and I had no money for a hotel. The police fed me and gave me a bed.
    Buffeljagsfontein……. I always stopped there for a pee and a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich.
    This was a great trip to go along on.
    Thanks for taking us along.

    Hey Diff, thanks for sharing a little of beautiful South Africa. Yes, here in Wisconsin we'll see a high of 0' C. Not bad! I had a 78 E150 van I drove cross country for over 20 years. 351 W. My summer driver is powered by the 351 M in my 64 F100. Tomorrow we head to Minnesota to visit family. About a 800 mile round trip. Our gas is at about $2.50 per us gallon. Not sure what that is in liters. Have a Happy New Year. One more thing, don't let Wayne drive anymore!!!😅

    The F-rod did well. The Chev cab you got will remind you of this Christmas for a long time to come. It's got almost more rust than steel, so that should keep you happy. Enjoy your present Div.

    Hard to find a servo with attendants anymore though.
    Our hometown Denmark in the Great Southern area of WA is the only one l know of.

    Some beautiful coastline there mate. And the railway bridges reminded me that I spent 6 years a while back helping restore a SAR 24th Class locomotive, here in Australia that belonged to a guy in NZ. He bought it and a number of others from the railway depot in Bloemfontein SA, there were 100 of the 24 Class built by North British for SAR. I've visited some places in SA but would love to visit that depot. My steam loco "treasure". Cheers from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘.
