We have never before had such a huge reaction. I guess it is owing to the nostalgia, as Kombis are favoured for bringing back good memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participating in these displays is free of charge and they are feel-good, family orientated events. The club is opposite the Ascot office park in Conyngham Street, Glendinningvale, Port Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For more information or to display your Kombi contact Riaan Hanekom at 084 513 0939 or
