Thanks for this man! Was great to meet you at Steemit Saturday in Joburg. Do they have some Rolls Royces. 750 was probably a lot back then.

Lovely bit of history @cheeto.blue and how they changed over the years. Must have been a bumpy ride, but enough time to take in the view. You can imagine that on the old gravel roads and the fun it must have been to travel in land, take a picnic and return home.
