and they cant buy that shit anywhere over there? no Homedepot I guess? lol
No man, I’m just kidding. I have no clue about drywall or South Africa.
LOL
I heard a rumor that someone bought one in Vancouver. It wouldnt surprise me. There is a Bugatti dealership. They are selling the car they have in stock for $2.5 million and a couple people have been looking at it.
Hell last I heard there were 3 Enzos in a city just a couple hours away from where I live. All owned by rich oil guys from Alberta. haha

I know you have a Ferrari, but cut that bullshit out. I lived in SA for most of my life, it’s not that bad there.[/quote]
Tell that to the black guy they killed in front of us! It was some sort of wage increase they wanted from $1 to $2, and they killed some of the workers they caught, we said we were just tourists.[/quote]
We work in Rand over here not Dollar…and the only places that the shit you described would MAYBE happen is in a squatter camp and even then I HIGHLY doubt it, because labourers stay there (not employers) and they won’t fight amongst each other if all of them actually want the same thing (which as you stated is a wage increase)-I do some public buildings in squatter camps on occasion and it’s really not that bad…some of them are actually very friendly…
We are not some ex war stricken fucked up african state that can flame up every minute…We are just a normal country with normal people with normal jobs. So yeah, cut that bullshit out…
They gave a WOMAN the car to test and review, even let her in public. They’re lucky there weren’t 19 of those now.
That’s just sacrilege.

Exactly.
While crime is violent when it happens, it’s not Zimbabwe or some completely backwards place. The international view of SA is very skewed, but I’ll end this hijack now.
Reventon is a crazy awesome car.

Yeah it is, and the type of people who can afford that, its probably not even a drop in the bucket to their tangible wealth. They allowed tanner foust to drive one as well, it blows my mind that theres a total production of 21, and they are even bothering to let people test drive them. The FXX was only shown on top gear, and that was the shoes personal one that only he drove, granted, the fxx isn’t street legal.
Was on a 4-day pass to Dubai a couple weeks ago. Saw this and a Ferrari (don’t know what model…too$$ to care) parked at the Emirates Mall…
…so nice, had to post twice…
Incredibly beautiful.

Listen I am not saying this is some country where everyone is killing each other, but as we were passing through a shortcut in a city, there happened to be a rebellion. I don’t know about you but when people with guns point at me, I tend to do as I am told. We negotiated a way out by paying $10K. They got their point across when they beat someone to death in front of us. Also I am fully aware of the rand system, I am just giving a perspective to fellow folks who have never been there.
Someone mentioned that it wasn’t drywall that I sold, which was right on the money. It’s the drywall joint compound. Due to the market in south Africa, I own the rights to sell that type of drywall over there. With some luck, I will have a contract soon with the SA government for 10 years for all their buildings/housing to use this compound.
On an unrelated note, I went swimming down there.
On the first day, the whales came…
On the second day, the great white sharks came…
On the third day, I said screw this place; I ain’t waiting for the shark/whale/lion hybrids to show up.
