Re: Patrol Spotting
Thanks Jorrie
I had been warned about this already, but as said before, I did not have the time to go all the way to Sandwhich anyway.
For anybody planning a trip to Namibia: there is a hell of a lot to do in Swakopmund/Walvisaai area. It would be good to spend several days there. The three we spent there was nowhere near enough...

Re: Patrol Spotting
Cedric, was the one you saw in Alberton area similar to this one? I've caught this one cruising the Alberton area, managed to catch a pic at Verwoerdpark shopping centre...

Re: Patrol Spotting
Rhett, that one has tinted windows by the look of things. The one I saw didn't, cause i could clearly see the fridge setup in the back. I also didn't see the "anti-theft" Orlando Pirates sticker on the one I saw. The driver was an older gentleman with grey hair that was driving.... hmmmm.... didn't look like a "Pirates" fan
Regards

Re: Patrol Spotting
At woodmead shopping centre. No bonnet scoop so unsure if it's a diesel or petrol. Do they still make the 4.2 for these aid organizations? GL badge at the back.

Re: Patrol Spotting
That contraption in front seems a rather unfortunate alternative to replacing the tupperware.

And rather careless of them to leave the satellite locator on the roof. That is an expensive piece of kit and just a magnetic mount...
