Quite a unique set of events occurred during the Market Square Volkswagen test drive session this past Thursday:
- To have so many Alan’s present
- That they all spelled their names the correct way – Alan
- That they individually and not in the presence of each other all ordered the same breakfast at the Elephant Walk
- That the breakfast was NOT the normal variation BUT included Chicken Livers for each
Cue spooky music….
On the drive along we got to test a range of Mahindra vehicles – the SUV was a pleasant surprise for me. In another pleasant contrast the new Golf GTi was a pleasure to drive accustomed as I am to more mundane forms of transport, a bakkie.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
