My son & I stopped in at the Classic Car & Bike Show today to check things out. Today catered to “modern classics”. You’ll be able to check out true classics tomorrow, tickets are R20 per person with children under the age of 12 free
I stopped in at Killarney for a short while to check out the SOCSA track day on Saturday. Although I didn’t stay too long (or get too many shots), I did manage to get to see a rare (in Cape Town) FD2 blasting around the track in a time of 1:27.8. The fastest official time of the day belonged to Malcolm (Redeyes) who managed to lap the 3.267km circuit a time 1:26.00 with his black Sti6. Apparently there are going to be more Time Attack track days next year, can’t wait 🙂
The highlight of the weekend has to be the 150+ Honda Hookup organised by Team Mugen with the support of JDM Worx and Tweaked Out. What was organised as a 150+ hookup turned out to be a 220+ hookup with speculation that there where between 240 & 250 Hondas in attendance. Congrats to Garth & the guys at Team Mugen for a well organised event and thanks to Hayden @ JDM Worx (www.jdmworx.co.za) for sponsoring the prizes.

The 2nd annual Knysna Hillclimb took place last weekend with Geoff Mortimer, piloting a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo9, covering the wet 1.9km course in a blistering 50.637 seconds. The next 4 places were taken up by Skyline GTR’s with the Autohaus Angel V8 Masters car of Fabio Tafani taking 6th. The event saw 1 serious accident with Wessel Pretorius putting his Chev Lumina SS into the wall just before the end of the course.

This years Heritage Day saw Killarney being invaded by Tow Trucks of all shapes and sizes, most notably being a Chevy V8 powered Iveco and another truck sporting an RB26 powerplant. The highlight of the day had to be the timed tow competition, with the trucks leaving the new pit area, hooking up a “wreck” on the main straight and then driving approximately 100m. The fastest time I heard was a shade over 32 seconds, hectic stuff. Check out all the photos in the gallery
I made a turn at Saturday’s CTSR Crew dyno day to catch some of Cape Town’s hottest street cars getting put through their paces on the rollers of Dynotech in Brackenfell. Check out all the photos in the gallery
Most breakfast runs are about the journey, in the case of Street Freaks, it’s about the company. An extended family in the guise of a car club, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We dedicate this run to the memory of Rayno Beukes, aka DIGGY, may he rest in peace.
