18 months in South Africa!

[C2K]

Been rifling through my pics and have come across most of my rentals, heh thought i'd bang them up since it's a car forum and all!!

Things started badly.. a Renault Sandero 1.6 - 90bhp and keep fit windows.


I took it back to the airport having not seen a sponge in 14 weeks with periods of heavy rains! Came back and got ZNN 411 GP (Gauteng Province) Rally slag yo!!!



Sadly after 16000 kms it needed a service, and the coal dust caused the paint to flake on the front bumper :p Cue the replacement! BK 48 HY GP!



Adored this car and the predecessor. Plenty of poke from a 1.6 with 125bhp, full ipod connectivity with steering wheel control, all electric windows etc - very nice motor actually.

Randomly, I spotted my old Silver one a few weeks later whilst I was in Germiston, Johannesburg! How peculiar!

Flew home at Christmas and Europcar was replaced by Hertz in January. :thumbsdown

Enter the 1.4 Citroen C3... 75bhp.



Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, you had to change to 4th to go up hills! I quickly chopped her in for a Corsa...



Randomly snapped outside my pad (top right flat)



But the service interval soon popped up so she got replaced with another in Pepperdust!



Even more randomly, driving back on the N12 from JHB I passed my old one!



Again, service interval was soon up at the rate I was piling on Kms! I ignored it as I was going home and got told i'd passed it by 3000kms, :meh

Came back, had another identical s**troen C3 but had a f**ked exhaust so it went back after two days, and I got the Corsa in the first post. 6000kms into the rental, the front brakes wore out and it was metal on metal! reassuring!! Was quickly replaced with my final steed which was identical bar the reg!!!
