Visiting your fair country in Late October. Flying in for a Conference in Johannesburg and thinking of hitting up Kruger and Capetown.
Got to love the wine! :buttrock

Any tips or suggestions? What better place then the South Africa Forum!

Looking forward to spotting some Different Bimmers...some of you have some nice rides!

carry a gun. you're gonna be mugged, raped and have various body pars cut off and used as medicine

haha, but seiously. maybe you should visit wesbank when you come, then you can check the racing scene here.

haha...Seriously I have heard many stories about your crime rate. :help

Mostly all true I'm sure :stickoutt

Wesbank...is that located in a Suburb of Johannesburg? Looking forward to seeing all sorts of weird and wonderful Bmw's.

So anyone? Suggestions on places to visit, eat and drink? Places to avoid?

Good shopping for the lady? etc.

Thanks.

avoid jhb centre, dont draw cash at the airport, wesbank raceway is in alberton, 10-15 min drive.

not much different shopping unless you wanna go the whole, "i went to south africa, rode a lion and bought my woman a native dress.." route

then you can buy that stuff pretty much anywhere

must visit a spur to chow, they got one at the airport. food there should be good for you foreigners. and carnivore in pretoria if you have time..

I hear you about the cash machines. We've pretty much travelled the world and I am extremely cognizant of such things.

On the shopping, it's a woman thing you know? Has to be one day of it.

We pretty much can eat anything. Nothing fazes us. What is good? I hear the sausages there are one of the best in the world.

How is your tuning scene? Any good speed shops for Bimmers? I would not mind perusing some. The exchange rate is very favourable for me right now. Any locally produced items of note for E36's?

What is the weather like at that time of the year ( Late Oct-Nov).

I am really excited about visiting.

Thanks again.

Just flipping through some sites trying to figure out SA Cuisine and have found out that it is much like here on the West Coast of Canada. It sounds great! A real mix of culture. Looking forward to it.

Any local beers and wines I can try?

Shoot I wonder if I can rent a BMW there and take a stab at Wesbank:D ... any run what ya brung nights?

thats how it goes at wesbank hey. seeing as you rich :shifty.. you can take the lady friend to sandton city to go shopping.. and enjoy spending all your money.. haha


there arent many specifically bmw shops.. infact we get most of our stuff from other countries..

south african weather, cold at night hot during the day.. its summer oct/nov.

have windhoek lager, black label(nice an cheap.. gets me drunk), and i guess castle lager

and eat dried wors

Mmmm Dried Wors and beer...sounds excellent.

Good to know about Sandton...a place I can avoid then ;)

Thanks for the tip on beers.

Ouch on the importing of parts. We do much the same here but the difference is the States are close. Actually I should bring stuff there for you guys! :lol
