Hi Guys!

This is a very exciting idea that has been mentioned and talked about by myself and some other Fanatics. I don't know if this has been done before but it would be absolutely EPIC if something like this could materialise.

Especially the ///M fanatics that are lusting for Coastal power this is the opportunity we all have been waiting for.

So the details that need confirmation are as follows.

Where do we want to drive to.

-Durban
-South coast (margate, toti, scottburgh area)
or any other suggestion.

The motivation will primarily be where all our accommodation will be located and where the final destination will be for us.

So obviously some of us can go visit family or friends and then again meet up for the drive back to GP.

Alternatively we can arrange group accommodation and we can all pitch in and make that happen. 4piper can chip in here.

When will this happen

Also open for debate. But being a difficult event to organise we need a lot of lead time and somewhere that won't interfere with all our regular annual leave/family time.

So ballpark month's, lets say October somewhere? It will be warm and pleasant and lets keep it outside of any peak seasons for traffic.

From where will we depart

This should become clear once we know the other details. Like driving to durbs, staying at xxx hotel for 3 days and then leaving from the hotel parking lot at 9am.

Let the suggestions commence!

Wow quick responses guys, loving it! I envisioned 5 or 6 cars in convoy. But I'm sure we can a zero to that. Double digits will be epic alone.

Was going to say, how about we join up with the Southerhers whilst we're there.
Think that would be epic.

Then you guys make a stop in Durban and we join the convoy down south :)

Yes Yes and Yes! Loving all the ideas guys. I was also planning on doing a dyno whilst down there. So we can really see what power the ///M's produce :) Alongside any of the events taking place during our stay.

The more fanatics join from all over the merrier. KZN and JHB meetup will be great.

Let's run the ideas, dates and places for a week or so and then start voting. So we can have dates and start planning around them.

I am def in would love to stretch the legs of my m5. What about meeting up with the kzn guys on the north coast. They normally meet up at sibaya. We can also find plenty accommodation in the north.

And the weekend in June during the top gear festival. Or is that too busy?

This is an awesome idea :joy:

How about replicating the dub run or so?

Sticker up the cars, drive down in convoy, plan a fun day of sorts down here in kzn (mobile dyno, jumping castles for kids, braais etc)
