A few days leave (part three)

A cold and very blustery day saw us heading off to the Southward Car Museum situated just outside Paraparaumu.
The museum was purpose built in the late seventies and contains the largest automobile collection in the southern hemisphere. It currently has over 400 cars so it takes a fair while to amble around and see them all.
This one is the 'original back seat driver' car and since the passenger sits up front, no one can argue about that one!

If it so happens that you are not inclined to own a car of any variety, here is a scooter which can double as a bakkie(tjie) and can also probably transport more than one in the back - although the seating doesn't appear to be all that plush. Health and Safety would have an appopleptic fit about anyone being in the back, given that there are no seatbelts, let alone airbags! Heaven Forbid!

Neither one nor t'other - this little three wheeler we think was of the variety used in one of the Bond movies? Or did we see one in a Peter Sellers classic? We can't quite recall.

Being Volkswagen fans in general and Beetle fans in particular, this chappie, tucked away amoungst other more spectacular Vollas caught our eye and posed happily for a picture.

Our special turquoise Mercedes which we left behind is now safely in the hands of the younger generation - it was quite tough leaving the old girl, but seeing this stunning cousin in shiny, black made us think about all the days of refurbishing and polishing and loading up for the spectacular wedding in Natal - so many lovely memories! And almost as if by magic, there appeared in our online mailbox, a photograph taken just a couple of weeks ago of Her Ladyship (with Boetie Theron holding Baby Grandson Estan also in the picture!) It's really good to know that she is being taken good care of, has passed all her roadworthy tests, can still give a fair amount of speed on the open road and is making lots of hearts happy! Dis al!
