Was thinking what kind of title to give this thread and decided to tell it as it is 
Forgive the spelling and grammer..still recovering.
The BMWcarcapetown pitched at 11am for the car & sound show off as well as the annual Carnival at Paulus Joubert High School, Paarl and was greeted with a festival that was still being organised.
The only other clubs that were there sorted and busy was the drift/burnt-out squads and the Opel car club.
The clubs were thrown right at the back of the school grounds away from all the action and the crowds. I was told by the organiser who were away at the time when we arrived that the security guards gave us the wrong allocated place.
Anyway the BMW club stayed till 1.30pm and decided to leave because it appeared that few clubs would pitch. I decided to stay to do some networking and hoping that things would turn out better. The Opel club welcomed me amongst them especially the chairperson Lugun & his deputy Azeez. :thumbsup:
By 3.30 the place really came alive. The carnival was on the way and hundreds of community members were attending. In fact the later it became the "festive" it became including the beer garden, which was very well organised and controlled by the security.
The legendary Rockets (music band) also featured. :thumbsup:
The clubs that attended inluded:
The BMWCarClubCapeTown
Opel Car Club
TRD Toyota Club
Toyfreaks
Kraaifontein drifters
Drift squads
Other names i cannot remember
Some nissans & hondas
I was (eventually) impressed by the turnout and the support of the community.
I left the evening at 7.30pm and the place was truly a carnival with street bands/clowns and all sorts of entertainment happening. And the young people coming out to play.
I was told that street racing was also planned to happen later the evening.
The various carnival activities took place on the Rugby field just next to the show off area. Did not take any pics.
The Sound Off competition started at 3.30pm and about 11 cars (i think) participated. This was quite interesting and it is amazing how well people build their cars to make the loudest noice but also how good the modifications were.
The Show & Shine competition started at 4.30pm and three judges took their time with each car that competed...i counted about 29 -32 cars.
The results were announced at 7pm and by that time the place was abuzz and i was exhausted.
So what a surprise when my car was called to receive the first trophy for (best interior) and a bit later for (best engine bay) and towards the end of the anouncements another trophy for (overall winner)...which is a floating trophy which i have to defend next year again. :excited:
I hope Revo & Matt will help me keep this trophy in the Club :excited:
Here are the pics:
It was a very hot day. So the pics are not great. I had to duck in and out of the shade to take a picture just to stay cool.
My first time to see Jandre's 325...eish wish i can have it....would like to make more time to take better quality shots of his ride.
Check the graffiti in the background:thinker::
I am glad this next car was not in the competition it looked amazing on the day and would have taken a trophy for sure...not sure who's car it is...Freeriders friend i think.:dunno:
Here is Yolandas 135 :thumbsup::
Damn, I am glad Revo did not stay for the competition either...more for me....hehe
Yip I have my moments behind a camera:
The Opel Club that kept me company:
This Corsa won a trophy for best paint job and the driver was a pretty girl...yam yam
The clubs were then moved to this spot right in front of the school...great idea. :thumbsup:
If this rear does not tell you to fck off then I really don’t know...imp:
My buddies X1. I took him shopping for this ride and what a good choice he made::clap:
The boys from Toysfreak...what a beautiful story they have to tell about their club and how it gave their members new purpose and keeping them away from trouble etc...Well done guys:thumbsup:
Okay i could not resist. This was not at the show but taken a week before at another show and this modded Evo 1X & I have a tale to tell...check out the tale section soon.
Tips for next year:
1. We will arrive an hour before the show & shine competirion starts so that our cars are clean & cool. We can can then join the racers later in the eve....
2. Come better prepared with chairs and gazebos etc....
Will post the videos in the week. :thumbsup:
