Off the Beaten Track: The Highlands Surf & Turf Baja Bug Photo Gallery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Highlands Surf & Turf Run was a proper dust-kicking adventure! This specific Baja Bug Run<\/strong> took us through some of the most scenic and rugged gravel roads Cape Town has to offer. This photo album captures the Wild Buggers convoy as we conquered the legendary Highlands gravel road, trading the suburban hum for the roar of VW air-cooled engines and scenic mountain views. From the first turn of the key to the final social “kuierspot,” this gallery showcases our colorful fleet of beach buggies and Baja Bugs in their natural habitat. Browse through the smiles, the dirt, and the camaraderie that make these monthly runs the highlight of the old-school VW lifestyle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
