Spot The Differences

The top picture was taken in June while on a weekend away in Clarens, a quaint little town in the Free State. I didn’t know it at the time, but this little town is very popular with the Gauteng folk who flock there with their Cabriolets and Harley Davidsons on a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

With all the Gauteng vehicles around, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the sleepy little town was actually vanity city. During our brief stopover there were probably only a handful of cars not sporting personalised plates. But I’m digressing.

A couple of months later I spot this car driving around in the neighborhood.

Can you spot the differences, discounting the picture quality as one of them?

I just wonder if some of our dumb dimwitted lesser spotted brightsparks (Metro traffic officials) will pick up the difference in the plates.

An interesting observation though. In the great order of things, it looks like the BMW drivers are more Violent than their diplomatic Merc counterparts.
