Cape Town's mixed bag

I was driving through Paarl on Sunday to get some takeaways for Sunday lunch (what a kak weekend with my son snapping his arm in half on Saturday so potjiekos or a lamb roast was very far down on my list of things to do), and I saw the Supreme Technic crew parked outside a local restaurant. I think they were probably coming from that gathering in Wellington (which seems to again just be an event for revving your engine as hard as possible a few times and then buggering off - as in literally just sit in your car with 10 other cars revving the crap out of it...why though?), and I'm not casting any aspersions - I've just seen them on some vids spinning - but I just remember thinking as I drove by "Man, I really hope these guys don't intend ruining everyone's quiet Sunday afternoon."

It's sad that that's my reaction and maybe it's a fault with me, but surely it says something about the "scene" if I drive past a bunch of Ms and don't think "Ah wow, look at those cool cars"?

Funny enough, 500m down the road I drove past a parked, well taken care of, stock E36 325i and that brought a smile to my face. Not the kitted out, carbon-clad Ms.

Not going to pretend that we didn't spend some Friday evenings at University spinning my mate's City Golf in Coetzenburg's parking lot. At least that only risked our lives (if his dad found out) and the car's rims ;)

This was literally shot on a potato...

lol, dated 15 years ago and here we have the TikTok generation ranting over spinning like it's one of their born cultural events of 2024... fckin kids these days.
a toothbrush...I think the diversity with cars was also great...seeing a GTX and box and bin and and and battling was fantastic

Yeah I did and not just in one place, seems the guy did it at every possible location. Do you know what did it though? Could not have been an M since the one wheel peel evidence is strong.

Ja, did it at quite a few places up the street, but no, a woman at one of the buisinesses in the street posted it in a WA group, so to her it would probably just be a white car…..much like how my wife describes cars. My M340i is just white BMW to her. At least now she’s starting to recognize car brands since we started dating way back when

As a young bmw owner, I must say this thread is very refreshing. I regularly see people posting this type of content on Instagram, YT, etc and boys I'll be honest I get FOMO but this thread has reaffirmed me that my mind is in a good place.
