Never been more proud of the KZN boys.
First and foremost, thank you to all of the kind souls who made donations and took time out from work and family obligations to attend.
For those who couldn't make it this time 'round, here's how things went;
Around 13 cars grouped at the parking lot of the Chatsworth stadium, littered with nothing but the remainder of tortured tyres in the form of figure 8's and 11's- I promise these were laid down before we got there :rollsmile:
A convoy was formed and taken to the homes of the kids we would be chaperones to for the day. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the elation of the kids watching the cars enter and form a line for each kid to pick the car they fancied most. It was truly awesome seeing the most meticulous and particular owners allowing kids to be kids, Dukes of Hazard'ing there way into convertibles and standing with their hands sticking out through sunroofs. This was most definitely the highlight of the day.
The drivers then left at steady pace, with the occasional rev off at a stop to keep the kids entertained, along with music of the children's choice.
The convoy headed from their homes to Ridley park, the roads leading to the park were rather scenic, allowing for epic rolling shots of the cars.
Ridley park itself was also a haven for kids, providing a trampoline, jumping castle, jungle gym, and a miniature petting Zoo. A shaded hall was also arranged, containing a full-on children's party, inclusive of a Santa, to further embrace the festivity.
After meals, much needed Ice cream and gift-giving, the children were once again given the opportunity to choose their favorite car, and were chauffeured back home.
This was as fun for the drivers and helpers as it was for the kids.
From my point of view, and I think all of the attendees' as well, the day went off without a hitch, and was a massive success. This could be judged solely off of the smiles of the children.
Good on all of you guys. It was great to see some new faces as well!
Lastly, thank you to all those involved in the organization process, you guys rule.

Where the pics guys, I for one would love to see them. Curious if jozi hosting something similar? If I missed it then definitely something to arrange for 2016. Even if it means joining you guys in KZN, its bout time I visit Shallcross n Chatsworth again. Spent many years un those parts of the world thanks to previous girlfriends and their vw/BMW fanatic brothers. I just happened to be the wit ou who shared the passion, along with a lukker fisheagle or zamalek quart in hand on the humid days... Actually originally from umkomaas, so regardless im gonna need to join the KZN crew for an event soon. [THUMBS UP SIGN] great job on this event. Keep in touch

A bit late I'm sorry.
So Panda summed it up to the tea. I could not put it in better words. The smiles on the kids faced where priceless. The screams and shouts as the cars pulled into the informal settlement was amazing.
Thank you to all who sponsored and to all who came out on the day. We even had Jhb fanatics and their families there. Was great meeting you guys.
The event as awesome. I am really happy that TheFanatics chose this event.
Thanks to Yulz who did all the hard work, even now after the event work is still continuing as the tax certificates need to be issued.
