Yes, we have it. Visit sunny Cape Town, hire a cra, come and see the belting motorways, and then re-book for 2010. *Gloat*
Now at least they\'ll upgrade the (already superb) highways!
Sorry Ian. Can\'t see this one getting even close to being motoring related (although nice try with the motorway reference).
No Dosh.

"hire a cra"
Is that Afrikaans for Ostrich?
|
Does that mean they will fill in the missing part of the raised road section just by the entrance to the V & A waterfront.
How many years has it been like it? Certainly more than 10 years.
Is Chapmans Peak Drive now finished and reopened?
When I was last in CPT in September I saw an update programme on the progress. Is it now a toll road to pay for the work?
The design certainly looked impressive.
When finished I guess the car makers can start using it again it their adverts.
Please advise us of the the next backroom get together in CPT.

I'm not waiting that long Ian.
I'll be there December/January for the cricket tests ;-)

The roads sound good Ian, but the football bit is boring...
What's the speed limit on the motorway there? Does anybody stick to it?
|
aaaah- Ok, One BIG answer!
Nope, the elevated freeway ... a cape landmark ... has been there, incomplete since about 1974! Apparently it would cost more to knock it down than it originally cost to build!!!
Chapmans Peak drive is now complete, with a R20 toll, which is reasonable, considering the scenic route.
Speed limit: 120km/h. Does anyone stick to it? Not really ...
If you get caught, there's a fine. No points.

Gloat? what have you got to gloat about, your tax rand will be paying for this for years...........

A colleague is upset that he's been scheduled to go to work in the USA during June whilst some footie championship is on.
On the other hand, I've never been to the US, and would happily do so to escape from footie on TV.
Some things never go to the right people! ;-)
There's a thought: If enough people went to Cape Town to watch the 2010 World Cup, there'd be no need to show it on TV in the UK, and all the roads would be nice and empty for some top biking fun.
