Go look at Bedfordview on Google Street view... it's also part of the East Rand.

This is the Oos Rand, where the west-side of the Metro is more affluent than the east-side; the conies from Benoni being the exception.

I would but I am too scared my google earth gets stolen while browsing through the streets

And avoid the known hijacking spots or you’ll get screenjacked

Not exactly the big cars that Ouza is peddling to the high flyers, but like I said to That Rusty Character, this is our first car with electric windows 😂

 

 

When I next buy a car I am going to specifically ask for the ribbon thing to take home or a discount. The whole "congrats you won the lottery" vibe is so ridiculous when you've actually just been forced to pay R5k for them to fill in their forms and signed up for a long term contract at prime plus 2%. 

 

but hey, each to their own.

 

ps. what brand bike is that on the wall in 3* real size?

It is more a congratulations on all the hard work and sacrifice it took to get here.

Brand of bicycle ... did not bother as they left the dork disc on and this was hurting my eyes ... if brand managers only paid attention, or called in a staff member that participates in the sport they are trying to sell as a lifestyle pic in order to approve the final imagery, then they would certainly have better showrooms. 

This goes for all retail markets using stock photographs.

I got a lekker Ford branded torch with a magnetic base once. Not sure wether it’s irony or self-ridicule. The bakkie I brought  that day has had the decency to only break during the daytime. 

Either way it works very well when checking oil on the trucks in the AM.

Candice Lill, Mariske Strauss and Alan Hatherly cruises around town in well branded Hilux’s.

Rola Toyota sponsorships if I’m not mistaken.

In a Corolla Cross ... you would be surprised just how big the boot space is, especially with the rear seats down.
