It strikes me yet again how much your area of South Africa reminds me of here in Montana. The animals and plants are different, but the attitudes, the people, the delightful junk for sale... that all seems just like home to me. Great video!

Div, that VW is the 'Deluxe' model that has options like 'natural' air conditioning, 'enhanced' rust patina, super low 'slammed' suspension and the 'road visibility' package. Wayne's new tractor will have 'wet sleeves' in that engine block, so it is easily rebuilt if the parts could be sourced. But that 'F' truck V8 would work nicely in the old beast that could make 'Barefoot Mechanic' chuckle big time.
