Re: Ford 15 inch Steel Rim Wanted

Chris Walters next to Blue Flame at the Elsies bridge used to widen the rims. I do not know if the new owner ( Engelbrecht) still offer the service.
I was in there last month.

About the rim, I got one but it is a five hole.

Re: What cool cars have you spotted today

My son spotted this wooden house-car in Bellville in early morning traffic. Number plates, lights, towbar and down pipes for the gutters.

Anybody knows more about it, better pics?

Re: History of Railways South Africa

Thanks Insomnia. This is a very good link of the role the railways has played in bringing the county where it was some time back.
