... As I toured from Cape Town along False Bay towards Cape Point ... I could go on and on - what beauty.

Dead right - route from Cape Town to Cape Point is as pretty as the Devil (Elisabeth Hurley, that is...), and almost completely unspoiled by the 20/21st century civilisation.


I have only seen Sun City on TV (world's Strongest Man or something..) but would like to see some photo's of that area as well.

Ah, you haven't missed much - just another entertainment park, African Disney World, I guess. Commercialisation to the max. Example - you can't even bring your own food or drinks inside the complex - only baby food allowed!!! So, you travel for 200Km from Johannesburg, and you have to leave your remaining fruit juices and crackers in the car trunk… Of course, 0.5l bottle of mineral water inside the complex costs 4 times as much as in any normal restaurant, outside…


So... how about framing your BMW in some pictures?

Ah, now you tell me!!! We took a bunch of family photos - now that I think of it, 7 is not in any of them!!! Anyway, mine is a stock standard 'Green Ox', with everything except NAV.


I would not worry about the puddle under your car as long as it was water (not water and coolant!) - a puddle of condensation under my parked car is always there after having run the AC for any period of time. :-)

Thanks, I was hoping it was a normal thing.

Regards,
Mihajlo
