Cape Town’s most feared vehicle

The Bomber holds a special place in our hearts as it replaced one of the lands most notorious vehicles, The G-Ride. The G-Ride was on old Volkswagen Beetle and it had made many trips up to Namibia in it’s day and was truly spectacular. It was as relaxed driving slowly past Cape Town’s pristine beaches as it was clocking 120km/hr on the freeways. It was also known to kick through the sand dunes in Namibia and had quite a reputation. Unfortunately it became too old and we were tired of getting stuck on the side of the road on our way out to various excursions. So it was retired, sold for R5000. However, it was a priceless car and we had many good times in it. I was personally sad to see it go but when the replacement came, it was soon forgotten. It was probably best known for it’s paint job, that was done by hand, with spray cans, up in the sandy abyss that is Namibia.

A few upgrades were done to The Bomber. Jerry added a tint to the windows to give it an air of mystery. A huge sub was added and it’s actually too excessive for the size of the car, but that’s how you roll when you write on the life of excess. The final addition was to add some Yokohama S-Drive tyres and these have definitely given the car the edge it needed. It is impossible to wheel spin the car, you can’t lose control, and they just look fast. The Bomber is known to roll between Durbanville (The Ville), Namibia and the suburbs of Rondebosch, Claremont and generally anywhere in Cape Town. It is a noteworthy addition to the roads of Cape Town and if you blink you might miss it. No…if you blink you will miss it.

You will see us using this car when we need a turn of speed, some savvy style, or just need to cruise to the shop like rock stars.

The Bomber is a proud addition to our current fleet of vehicles.
