RE: Newbie Alert
Welcome to the forum. Like your pics. You are obviously a photograhic enthusiast, nice angles.

PMSL at the Spotty Dog comments. For you "out of towners" it is an absolute institution in Cape Town. Many years ago it was a roadhouse. One of those places where you went late at night for a burger and milkshake and the waitresses had on rollerskates and they served you in your car with a little tray that clipped on the side window (I kid you not). Anyway it was called the Spotty Dog as there was a huge painted concrete dog on the side of the road. It was an epic landmark and if you ever wanted to give people directions in the Retreat area you would start off with: "Drive past the spotty dog towards Lakeside......etc" Well the roadhouse died years ago and there is a Penny Pinchers Hardware store there now and the owner rebuilt the Spotty Dog to replace the old one and there it stands to this day.

As for the "detailing business" close by: I went in there one day as I needed them to steam clean some nasty oil marks off the rear carpet (which I couldnt shift with any product in my arsenal) and I had a good look around. It's quite clean and professional but really it is just another glorified car wash. The "staff" all look pretty ordinary, if you get my meaning.

I could see the owner checking me out a bit skief from his office and eventually he came out and asked me if I worked for Meguiars and then I realised I was wearing my famous Meguiars Windbreaker Rofl

I don't think they would know what a swirl is.......and not care either.
