South African Volkswagens
Im over in South Africa at the moment. Just gone two weeks. anoth 4 more weeks to go. I have noticed South Africa really loves thier VW's I have taken some pics of random VW's I have seen around my journeys.

Yes the South African VWS factory (in Uitenhage) was started around the same time as the one in Melbourne - the early 1950s. Theirs is still going,
bigger and better than ever, while ours died. Hmm, they must be doing something right! Our Polos and Jettas come from South Africa.
