Ah, what a weekend! If you happened to be anywhere near the Highlands gravel road recently, you might have felt a rumble, a joyous roar, and a whole lot of dust. That was us, your favorite VW Family, embarking on the legendary “Die Zara’s se Highlands surf & turf run.” And let me tell you, it was an absolute jol from start to finish.
Gravel Roads and Coastal Views: A Legendary Run for our VW Classics
We’re not going to lie, the main goal of the trip was to have a good time and give our old school VWs a proper run. We had everything from sleek VW Beetles to proper Beach Buggies, each one a VW classic ready for the open road. The convoy was a sight to behold—a line of legendary VW Bugs tackling the gravel road like it was nothing. I even saw Kyle’s VW Beetle looking sharp from the back of Shrek, but the best part was seeing everyone so happy behind the wheel of their favorite VW classics.
After a good stretch of dusty driving, our pitstop in Kleinmond was just what the doctor ordered. We might have planned on just a quick break, but with our crew, “quick” is a relative term. The Wild Buggers were spotted on a wall, just chilling and chatting away like there was no tomorrow. Turns out, the best conversations happen when the engines are off and the laughs are turned all the way up. Even our co-pilot, Mickey, got a good photo in!
But the adventure didn’t stop there. We even had our friend, Yolande, and her brand new Hyundai following our convoy! It just goes to show you that a road trip with the Wild Buggers is so much fun that even a modern car wants to get in on the action. And for the record, both her car and our very own “The Wasp” needed a good wash after all that dusty fun—a true badge of honor for any VW Air cooled vehicle.
After a good drive, our final destination was the yacht club, and let’s just say we arrived in style. We might not have come by sea, but our VW classics made a massive statement. We laughed, we had a drink, and we talked until we had to go back to our cars for the drive home. It was a perfect end to a perfect day. As the most active beach buggy club Cape Town has to offer, we know that the best way to spend a weekend is chasing dust and making memories.
So, to all the Wild Buggers out there and to everyone who has a passion for a good Beach Buggy and a good time, what was your favorite memory from the trip? Let us know in the comments below!
And if you missed out on all the fun, don’t worry, the next adventure is just around the corner! Get your engines ready for Rhoodie & Yolande’s Run on the 12th of OCTOBER. We’ll see you there!
