An ode to Ghaleeb Theys - The Cape Flats legend with a penchant for his (E12) BMW 535i
Legend goes that when Jan van Riebeeck came to the Cape in 1652, he was accompanied by his wife Maria, and Ghaleeb Theys. Ask any Cape Town car guy, and they will tell you they know the story, or heard of the legend that is Oom Theys. Not only is he entrenched in the Cape car culture, but is the man behind Theys Tyres, and a walking and living encyclopedia of the BMW E12. I pride myself on my car knowledge, but I will gladly concede that when it comes to the BMW E12, the Oom taught me a thing or three, and then some.
