Suikerbosrand picnic March 2006 |
|
Meeting for an early
morning start at a local garage, enjoying coffee and muffins. |
The cars attracted a
lot of attention, even from the authorities! But fortunately their
interest had nothing to do with law-enforcement... |
"Hey, where am I
supposed to sit?" |
Gentleman, start your
engines! |
We caused quite a
spectacle on the highway and received many friendly waves from other
motorists. |
|
Once out on the
country roads the WO owners decided to "stretch their legs" a bit, sounding like a squadron of Spitfires as they came blasting past us! Wonderful! |
|
More cars joined us
at the entrance to Suikerbosrand. |
|
"OK chaps, which way
do we go?!" |
|
The Suikerbosrand
Nature reserve has a 66 km circular route with a picnic spot located
halfway. |
