The End.

The most exciting thing to happen in SA is just around the corner! It’s the long awaited Kings of Leon concert! I’m joking. No, I’m not. Yes I am. Why The Face?! This weekend marks The End of a fantastic 2011 SA Rally Championship with the MTN Polokwane Rally on Saturday, 22 October & Sunday 23 October.

1st S1600 - Toyota Cape Dealer Rally 2011

Back down South at the Toyota Cape Dealer Rally (23 & 24 September) we had a good clean run and a lucky break when the two fastest guys in the rally, Ashley & Tjaart ran into some trouble in stage 7. We felt like The Immortals to get to Parc Ferme as you might have seen on TV, some of our friends’ engins Set on Fire during the last stage! The class win gave us a 10-point lead in the championship over our nearest rivals, Craig Trott & Robbie Coetzee.

We have a strong Notion to finish this rally and the championship, in style. 

Mi Amigo, we’d like to invite you to load your Pickup Truck full of friends & Fans and Come Around Sundown to the Savannah Mall on Friday, 21 October (16h30-19h00) where all the rally competitors will be gathered especially for to scribble their million$ signatures all over your never-to-be-washed-again-t-shirts & caps. Good news girls, McFearless will also be there so Pony Up and join in the Revelry! A word of advice though… watch out for Kez Naidoo… he thinks he’s a Charmer. Funny guy. Oh! And if you’re rooting for us, don’t let Schalk or Robbie get you a drink, it might smell like Jagermeister, but could just be Radioactive…whatever it is, it’ll make you Crawl.

We now want to go Soft and thank all of the marvelous people who helped us during the year. Especially to Kobus Roos (ATS), Mike Rowe and the VWRacing team and who were always On Call, ready with advice and willing to assist in many ways. Without you we would have kicked The Bucket already in P.E. when we got a little Closer to a kerb than any rally driver ever wants to. We appreciate you guys more than words can say.

Well I’ve got to go help get everything ready before someone in this house gets a Black Thumbnail. With navi-jitters in full swing, this is going to be a Slow Night, So Long.

P.S. Hey kids! Don’t Use Somebody. I want you to go and Be Somebody!
