Cape Town South Africa visit

[Dick M]

I'm going to be in Cape Town June 2-4.  Just a long shot but any Pagoda activity those dates.  Would love to shoot some local Pagoda video to add to collection if available.
FYI- some of my other Pagoda video:

Hi Dick,
That is a long way from home for sure. Have a great trip and hope you find a pagoda or two down there:-)

Have a look at the 'Crankhandle Club' website.
www.crankhandleclub.co.za/

They a really knowledgeable group of terrific car nuts who have a superb clubhouse that was once a fire station. I would make contact via the website and see if you can pop in any Wed evening. They will certainly know of any Pagoda action. If you can make contact with Andre du Toit you will be in the best of hands.

I was chairman back in the early 80s before coming to Oz, which is a lifetime ago now

Hi Dick,
 Yes, we try and get out for a Sunday drive 2 or 3 times a month. Haven't been up your (and James) way as we usually alway try and stay down in our neck of the woods. The car still runs great and always a joy to drive.
 Have a great trip to Africa and it is still on our bucket list to go to one day.

Dick, a few years ago, I spent two weeks in Cape Town and surrounding (Hermance, Stellenbosch etc) and I rented a 107 for the two weeks instead of a bog standard rental. It was a fantastic holiday for my wife and I and I suggest you consider it. I found a classic car hire company down there and don`t have the name but im sure you could search and find them.
They delivered the car to our hotel and it ran perfectly, and gave us a great holiday, good memories and some really good footage.

Thanks for the info..
After four days on the hyper streets of Amsterdam...looking forward to getting out to the countryside around Cape Town and that would be classie way to do it..
