12-07-13 CapeStance SLAMO-METER 1

With the prospect of a very cold evening ahead I headed out early to the 1st CapeStance SLAMO-METER event to catch some of the action before the freeze really set in. Jason from BoostSA and I seemed to have the same idea as we both where the 1st to arrive and where summarily turned away by the security at the gate who didn’t seem to know what was going on… I guess we where a little too early, LOL. At least it gave us time to pick up our chat from the last event while we waited for things to get going and get going it did. Slammed car after slammed car filed into the underground parking, some being met with the sound of scraping bumpers as they struggled to navigate the ramped entrance. It was a great turnout for such a cold evening, props to CapeStance and the die hard Cape car scene. I left just as the SLAMO-METER action was about to get underway and as I sit here typing this with a sore throat and groggy head I guess I know why my body told me to leave when it did. On my way home to the Southern Suburbs I had the “pleasure” of having to go though a roadblock, with the Ghost Squad in attendance I hope non of the Southern Suburbs slammed cars got any grief. Great stuff CapeStance… till next time

12-06-30 Volk Edition Dyno Day

I headed out to JDM Worx early Saturday afternoon to capture some of the rides that braved the rain to support the Volk Edition dyno day. I think it’s been 2½ years since I was at a Volk Edition, the last being the CAR WASH back in January 2010. Back to this event though, dubbed Germany versus Japan it seemed that the German contingent where a little less afraid of the rain than the Japanese with the Japanese being way outnumbered by the Germans by the time I left. It was also great to catch up with Jason of BoostSA (catch his coverage HERE) at an event where we can have a normal conversation without having to contend with screeching tyres and plumes of smoke. Congrats to JDM Worx and Volk Edition on a great turnout despite the weather, great stuff guys…
