Thanks to the VWCSA Committee for organising everything, it is great to see that the club is going from strength to strength, the turnout last night was phenomenal! I am looking forward to the Gymkarting on the 24th April and catching up with everyone again.
And giving the most lovable hugs ever..... EVER!!!!
It's what I do, but only for special people :hug:

I ended up taking the R59 to go through the tunnel and then caught the rear end of the group before stopping at Beyers Naude BP.
I didn't see you at Bruma Nissan, did you end up at Oettinger?

What car were you in? I was in the convoy with the RX7's, @hostility, @PoLonY, etc.
Ah.. Wasn't you then. Had a couple of Seats's, 2 X Golf R's, Golf 5 GTI with a oke hanging out the roof taking shots and another guy taking photos.

When we set about planning the Nightrun, we thought that the turn out would be relatively small, as the long weekend would draw many out of JHB. With the day coming closer, the weather in JHB turned nasty, with the rain not looking like clearing all week.

An emergency meeting was scheduled and we discussed pulling the plug. Weather apps were watched closely, and we all became weather experts for the next 48 hours. Friday morning saw the weather gods giving the club a break (it almost always rains at our events) and the sky was clear.

And then, Friday afternoon the heavens opened! It was too far down the line to cancel the Run. We called it, we were going ahead rain or moonshine!

Well, the rest is history. I arrived at Bruma Nissan just before 9. The parking lot had a few cars in it. Nothing major. A few of the regulars, Chris Wall, of Chris Wall Media, blogging for Vag Cafe, Hostilty, showing off his newest interpretation on his dream Golf 5.

The Air Cooled guys were also there with a whole host of Beetles.

Then, cars just started streaming in! For the next hour, it didn't stop. Hundreds of cars pulled in. And I mean, hundreds.

It was awe inspiring! Cars from all marques, Rev Blooded Nation came through with Scoobies and Evos. I spotted Arbee from TheBMWFanatics, chilling with Divio their resident photographer. Opels, Fords, Nissans, RX7s... Absolutely amazing!

And Of course, VWs! Beetles, Buses, Golfs, Jettas, Passats, Rocs, Polos.
So many VWs!

An absolutely amazing sight! There were at least 400 cars present, I estimate closer to 500.

A quick run down of the cruise details, and we moved off. I left last, at 11pm, with the head of the convoy already half way around the ring.

I cruised around with the RX7's, and Stratten's newly completed Bagged C30, which was definitely one of the cars of the evening for me.

Arriving at Oettinger, in Edenvale, a scene from a movie was playing out in front of me...

Cars everywhere, people chilling on the sidewalks, music playing from the shop.

I also spotted the crazy guys from Speed and Sound, Darren, Zack and CJ lurking about! These are some of the craziest guys around, and with Zack around I had to watch him carefully with my car, he has a penchant for sneaky drives in it! Was great having you join us!

An absolutely crazy evening!

Huge thanks go to all the crews that hooked up with us, GP Polo Crew, Rev Blooded Nation, Uber Fitted, FR&R Tubing, TheFanatics, and everyone else that joined up!

Thanks to Oettinger SA for hosting us at your shop, we look forward to many more great evenings with you guys!

And finally, to the VeeDubs, you guys rock!


Our next event is scheduled for 24 April 2016, at the Zwartkops Karting track.

Peace

Mmm, there was a Leon Cupra in our convoy and I am sure @Krutch was hanging out a car taking photo's. Did you see @PoLonY's Vulva and @hostility's MkV Golf GTi?
