G in South Africa
I just returned from sunny South Africa.
We passed a G on the N1 motorway between Menlyn and Centurion during our visit. My husband almost lost control of the small VW we were driving. The G had a sticker of almost every country in the world on it, fitted with roof tent, snorkel the works. If anyone ever comes across the guy who drove that G we would give our front teeth to meet him. He obviously already lived the life we are dreaming of...an AFRICA OVERLAND!

I have also just returned from SA - Cape Town and George.
Didnt see a single G out there, it must be a real enthusiasts car. Everyone seems to be in to VW Caravelle's
Having said that, the guy I bought my car from on Saturday (a Zimbabwe preacher man) was taking a LWB diesel back to Zim with him.
BTW, Where in Surrey are you?
Not too far then, I live in Old Coulsdon and work in Tolworth.
was it a lWB with german plates?
was it a lWB with german plates?
No, SWB with English plates.

I think peter is referring to the G with the snorkel and multitude of stickers mentioned by Yolandi.
Hi Peter,
I'm not sure how the German plates look, but would say it was a European number plate. Yes it was a LWB.
