Rare cars on SA road

[faniebraai]

I haven't seen a RX7 / RX8 at all in the last 4 years back in SA, were these sold here or not?

Saw an RX8 in brakpan the past weekend with the Gauteng Motorshow

my dad had an OLD rx2 in his younger days, 1100 rotary iirc... he tell this little tale about... his was in the airforce, and him and his 2 buddies where up in jhb for the weekend, had to get back to bloemfontein where he was stationed sunday night. they were running late.

his one buddy, normally one with quite big mouth, sat at the back. My dad left here, and stopped once for petrol. can't quite remember the time he quoted, but was something like 3hours give or take. anyway... as they pulled into bloem the guy at the back opened his mouth for the first time and said "I think you have to let Louis Botha (bloemfontein's airport) know you are coming in for a landing"

My cousin had one, drinks more than a sailor.

No, it's a Yaris.

It's a 'rarer' variant. The common variants do not make the rarer variant common.

 

[FiestaST]

Grrr

I don't see too many of the 3rd gen Prius on the road

 

[PhireSide]

Not sure if I can count this as rare but they are pretty scarce in PE at least:


Opel Tigra 1.8

Also next to it a ML63 AMG but they aren't really rare over here

 

[FiestaST]

I'm sure this actually counts as "rare".

This mint 1st Gen Mustang Convertible; this is the best pic I could get

Also spotted a Chrysler 300C

NOT!

 

[PhireSide]

NOT!

I beg your pardon?

Tigra is nice, Corsa C with fancy roof. I do fancy myself an Astra H convertible now that I have gotten used to the blandness of the Astra H.

That Mustang is super rare, and beautiful.

I see a lot here in Joburg

Only seen one down here in the last two years or so. See plenty of Sebring's and Crossfire's though. The latter looks like a tortoise to me though

Local shop truck by a butcher in Oudtshoorn.
