What a great chilled day out. It was great seeing quite a few of you guys there. Was great seeing the familiar faces again, and it was great meeting new faces, yes Prince, you're one of them.

@Ryan, sorry for applying the pirate's code, but i'm glad you got there and joined us for the great day out.

Made it all the way to the entrance, then took a right into the parking (did not know any cars could park on the grass), and then had a nice long drawn out scrape on a brick someone left there helpfully.
Other than that, bringing a baby and a 6-year old is probably not the most relaxed way of seeing the cars.
really great cross section of cars. Big yank tanks were the wifes favorite. Was amazed to see the bugatti racer, and it was even there under it's own power. Was also happy to see the E30 M3 (pitzi got some pics of it), would look great in my garage. Even managed a very quick view of the VWCSA stand and Pitzi's MK1 gti. Did not find a mini moke however, much to the unhappiness of the 6 year old.

Saw your car in the parking when I left.

That e30 m3, 3.0 csl batmobile, 300sl and the 190e cosworth were the highlights for me.

I had the best picnic ever. Good cars good people. Thank you all.

Its amazing to see the enthusiasm of people and the appreciation of proper classic cars. It just shows that the guys are really hardcore car enthusiasts.
We even had a Jag joining us.

Next time, phone me, as I never answer messages while driving

And I agree on the company part. Was really just an epic group of people yesterday

My wife? or the tall blonde one?

Didn't see you anywhere.. but didn't really spend time at the VW club

Any pics of that Le Mans Merc replica? The toppie who owns it took 16 months in total to build it. It has a Merc S600 engine which he strapped 2 turbos too.

Yup, she looks stalkable

Yeah, i wasn't at VWClub much. Spent most of the time at the Merc Club. But also needed to work in the afternoon, so i was gone by about 12h00.

Johan's car. It's beautiful. He called me to help him with the suspension design.

It's a Merc S320 motor, 3.2l V6, twin turbo, boosting 0.5 Bar. Recons it scares the crap out of him as is, so he's not going to up the boost any time soon.

It's a really great build! Take my hat off to him.

Irfaan · Post by **Irfaan** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:12 am

Any videos of it perhaps? I asked him but he said he doesnt have any

Apart from all the other usual cars, I think that was my favorite, the fabrication and work that went into it.

Great event, I'll definitely be attending every one from now on. It was so refreshing to not have idiots throwing handbrake turns and revving their cars.

This, over and over again, puts pretty much all other SA car shows to shame...

I asked him the same and he responded that it's not that low and that the lowest part is actually the sump - but he's looking at modifying the sump and pickup so that he has more clearance.

Really enjoyed the event, like every other year.

Saw a "R75 Million" Buggati owned by a douche who has owned many Ferrari's and Lambo's before but they are "cheapies"

Will definitely attend each and every one until I physically can't.
Nice family event.

Wish the Cum Laude events could be this placid
