Nothing is better that the burble of a V8, unless of course its a V12 Merlin (or even the V12 Meteor in the Centurion Tank), I have a 4.6V8 in my Range Rover classic.

Hi, i am in Cape Town.

Very sad. Until other activity in the bush produces similar or greater income, the wildlife will be at risk. Its a sad indictment, but the future may well be that the only place to see Aftrcan wildlife will be in foreign Zoos.
