G spotting

[Pete460332]

Friend came across this foreign G is Gauteng recently. Anyone know it??

AFAIK that G belongs to Alan Hüsgen. Dark Blue

Following pics where part of Michel's Namibia trip report....

Well spotted Peter.

I concur. That is Alan "ssang yyong" Husgen's hybrid. (290 turbo)

But I can't see the beer fridge

Spotting another G on the road! Thats something! Trying to see what model, id the driver, and also check out the condition and extras on the car.... and keep the conversation and also avoid an accident!

How about a pic of every G in SA on this site? !

:?:

how come its not SA registered ? Does BW equate to Botswana?

Alan is a German with a South African wife, has a company in Botswana, a gearbox in Zambia and a heart on the horizon.

Alan, like Chuck, must surely get government sponsorship to register his vehicles

I work at the SITA building in Centurion. I have been seeing this 240GD for some time here, but I never saw the driver/owner. Anyone know this one?

 

[Andrew]

The air scoop suggests it may not be 240 any more.

Hi Almal

Ek het gister 'n heerlike ervaring gehad.

Kyk wat sien ek in Zeerust van alle plekke.

Dit behoort aan 'n Switserse man Dr. Sandro Pelloni.

Hy stoor die voertuig in Pretoria by sy vriend glo een van die eienaars van Front Runner en die twee keer 'n jaar wat hy wel na SA kom dan gebruik hy die G vir sy Afrika ervarings.

Groete

Funny, 've been on this site some time and this is the first time I see this post.

Andrew thanks for filling in for me.

PS. Spot the plastic on the fuel cap which I lost the month before on the road from Kazane to Nata. Will teach me to check if it was properly closed. :evil:

Hi everyone,

I have been seeing a Dark Blue 5 Door G in the Sunwardpark area and would very much like to know more about it. I think it's either a 300d or a 290?

Thanks.

 

[Alan]

Hi Antonie,
I don't kniow where Sunward Park is but could it be mine? See first picture.
It's a 290 GD.

Hi Allan

It could be, Sunward Park is in Boksburg on the East Rand. I also sow it once or twice in the Brakpan area. It also drove past us on Thusday afternoon on the N17. I am almost certain that the owner wouldnt wan't to sell such beatifull car, but surely if I don't ask I won't know.

Thanks

Antonie

Ive seen three "unknown" G's in the East Rand , one is a SWB White that iv'e seen in Heidelberg and this morning in Brakpan. I also have seen a White 5 Door in the same area and a 3 door LWB Standing At the Reading Golf Club in Alberton ( a month or so ago)

Any one know the owners?

There was a white diesel (5door) G with trailer in Empangeni yesterday morning.
The back was modified with lights - round red ones halfway up the rear side panels.
It had an MP registration, - I tried to follow it but i got stuck in traffic. (yes Empangeni has peak traffic at 7 o'clock in the morning for about ten minutes!)

Anyone know this one?
