You are most welcome to join the run. You are part of the forum and it's a forum event so I don't see any problem with it.

Hi there Niven27. I sense some hostility in your message above and I felt that I should reply to re-iterate what was said there after and to clear up some misconceptions.
First and foremost, I apologise on behalf of the forum if you feel there was some iniquity toward you by entities both official and unofficial that hold the name of the forum.
Second, we as a forum do not hold any affiliation to any tuning house other than the contractual obligation we have to our advertisers. We have no reason to promote for or against any organisation other than those vendors you will find in our Adveritsers Forum.
Third, TheFanatics and all sub-entities do not have social media groups other than the respective forums, the official Facebook page and Instagram accounts. Should you be party to a Whatsapp group brandishing the name TheFanatics (or names of any of the sub-entities) please note that this is done so without the knowledge of the Forum and has no affiliation to us. It would be a logistical nightmare to police each and every group that may manifest and advertise as TheFanatics affiliated (or any affiliation with any of our sub-entities).
If I may say so, the forum staff have gone to large extents to put together events on our calendar. We don't do it for the sake of it, we are here for a common love of cars. As humans we are social creatures and so we like to make most of that trait and these events are our mechanisms to bring people together. As I mentioned, we have no affliation with any tuners (other than our advertisers), we market ourselves as TheFanatics so we are not BMW exclusive and we live in the rainbow nation and so see no barriers to colour/creed/etc.
Its easy to get fervent over conversations where there is no direct human interaction. Join us on Saturday and see why KZN Fanatics are one of the best loved groups around. Alas, if your message was written in malice.
Thank you.

I hear you...
However the group I speak about was posted on a thread on the "BMW fanatics" forum and that's how I became a member.
They then deleted me cause I have "CPI" on my car.
90% of the guys attending the waffle run is from that group so il give the event a pass.
Thank you.

That is utter BS !
It would have had nothing to do with who tuned your car.
I am there, am Im the ONLY guy there whos car is tuned by Xcede. There are guys there who cars are not even tuned.
Its a social group and its members are some of the best guys I've met. The KZN guys are always open and welcoming. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few of them on weekend trips to dbn, Clarens last year was amazing.
So, to break it down, I am the only guy in there tuned by different company, I dont even live in KZN and I'm still welcome there.
In reality Bud, no one cares who tuned your car. All that matters is that you are a fanatic. If your affiliation to your tuning house is so strong that you cannot interact with others, thats on you.
My suggesion to you is, attend the event. Meet the guys in person and I promise uou outlook will change.
This thread is going to go south now but since it's become open laundry why don't you tell us your version of what happened on that group? Since your so close to CPI and it's membership.
For the others who don't know, in casual banter last night someone on that whatsapp group mentions the words CPI and speaker boxes in one sentence. A few minutes later screenshots of the conversation was sent to some die hard CPI members who took it upon themselves to call and harrass/threaten the person who said that. The conversation ended with threats of bodily harm and so forth.
Now I don't know when the support for a brand overtook simple morals but this behavior is something we won't stand for. A decision was to evacuate all the new members from the group with association to CPI. Like it or not but someone being so far up his tuners rear end that they can eat the same food, who will resort also resort to this level of hooliganism isn't someone we want to build relationships with.
It is a pity that Junaid is banned from this forum as well as he would already be in here threatening everyone (with his great use of English language) who says anything about his tuner house. his behavior on here last time clearly showed that he rather throw his toys than contribute.
Sorry if your offended about being removed Niven27 but we would rather protect our friendships than fall for brands and tuners... We don't know who was the actual mole but the cause has been eradicated.

Hi Guys,
I appreciate the positive attitude towards this situation. There are some facts that have not been posted by Niven, which i am tackling with him via PM.
Can i ask that we keep to the topic of this thread and not bring in any Whatsapp drama to the forum.
Thanks
Arbee
