Enterprising off-road racing fans of that era immediately saw the sporting potential of the car and put the robust overhead cam 1600cc engine that pushed out a massive 96 horsepower to good use.

Water Wise Tips for Car Washing in a Drought

The drought that has been putting pressure on communities throughout South Africa, especially those in and around the City of Cape Town, has had an impact on countless lifestyle choices we used to take for granted. From rethinking lawns and choosing indigenous plants, to installing grey water systems, getting clever with rainwater and limiting our time in the bathroom to the essentials, communities have had to come together in a big way to ensure that the threat of Day Zero, when municipal water will be turned off and distributed from collection points, could be avoided.
