Hi Kagiso, I am looking at a 4,2 petrol that is fully kitted. From roof rack to suspension and winch including radio and drawer system inside. It is in really great condition and well looked after by an enthusiast. At the very, very upper end of that vehicles pricing scale (probably slightly over priced), but so what, look at the whole deal and it makes sense.

Hi Dave

Welcome.
Coming down to the Southern Cape has become an annual December tradition for my family.
So, given the business you are in, other than the Vleesbaai dunes and the Paradys dune route in Wildenress, if there are other one day trips you can recommend in the area, please let me know.

Thanks

Alex
