Accompanied by Mr Paul Walker Pakoe, we once again hit the streets of CPT in search of a car show and the smell of Meguair’s lead us to the “Rides and Vibes Car and Bike Show”.
All of this went down at Groote Schuur High School in Newlands on Saturday. They were blessed with some nice summer weather and the turnout speaks for itself. On arrival we were greeted by a fleet of shining metal and the smell of suntan lotion. Once again Cape Town modfathers and sisters supported an event …

Garrett’s ball bearing cartridge has proven its worth in the highest level of motorsports where it has been the bearing system of choice in CART FEDEX ChampCar Series, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, World Rally Championship, and most recently Drag Racing. These premier racing customers demand no less than the best in durability, reliability, and power on demand. One key contributor to this performance lies in the ball bearing cartridge where it is, by design, surrounded by a thin film of oil. The oil film …

By now I think Donovan’s “Lil Dragon” Conquest is familiar to the Cape Town Car show scene. It was featured on AM a while back and have won many “Show and Shine” events until that fatal day in October of last year. He was driving home from his mother’s place when a dog decided to cross the road without using the zebra crossing. Trying to avoid from hitting the dog, he swerved out and hit a pole, damaging the right hand side of the car. That brought immediate tears to …

I remember taking that Sunday afternoon cruise to Sea Point just to check out the guys showing off their pimped out rides. On Sunday I decided to take that same cruise but this time around to Queens Beach. One of Cape Town’s biggest BMW car clubs was having a hook up and photo shoot with SSJ Concepts.
The club has been around for a while and always tries to support the local car scene, pulling up at almost every car show event. They sport some pretty impressive rides ranging from drop …

I attended the D1S drift session at the 2012 Madigras with my matie Mr Cothill and his super sleek Nissan Silvia which has just been resprayed a glossy black by Dragon Customs.
Mardigras 2012 took place over 2 weekends and seemed to be quite entertaining. This was the 1st year that D1S has been invited to exhibit at the Mardigras Carnival. There were loads of cars sliding around the parking lot and the crowd enjoyed every second of it.. The parking lot had to be wet regularly to protect the surface …

CampFest is what it’s all about, the modified cars, the people and being able to camp over. This years Camp Festival was held at the Hartebeesport dam resort. The drive to harties is always fun, especially when there are Audi s5’s and Aston martins driving around and getting their asses handed by a couple of Vw’s!!!
We got at the resort at about 7am and were surprised to find that there are about 150 cars already waiting in a que to get into CampFest! There were so many cars that cars …

So I’m not sure if most of you know, but our lady in red(ok yes the car is white, but red sounds good), Marlize had a bit of a accident a while back. Long story short some old lady was obvious jealous of how quick Marlize’s car was and decided to get T-boned by the nippy lil Mk2 GTI.

The official statement:

On Monday, the 14th of November I was innocently driving to work when a 70 year old lady decided to make a turn at the robot intersection right in front …
