Local larnies lose it!
February 17, 2010 by Krutch · Leave a Comment
Yup, even local SA larnies cock it up every now and again. Sometimes, these rare cock ups involve supercars, and in an even rarer instance, this monumental cock up features TWO supercars!
According to Tanya Waterworth’s report on IOL, “Two expensive supercars crashed into each other, causing extensive damage, during a VIP wedding reception at the quiet town’s local sports club last Saturday afternoon, leading to confrontations with residents.” That certainly must have been something to behold. I know if I was there I’d have either a Canon SLR and a rapidly filling memory card or a cell phone working overtime to snap pics and vids, obviously in between bouts of laughter!
You can see from the pics, (jacked from Wrecked Exotics) both the Lamborghini Murcielago and Ferrari F430 can be repaired as the damage isn’t too bad. From the alleged information about the events that transpired, I’m, thinking there may just not be an insurance payout here, well most certainly not for both cars. The owners may just have to reach deep into their pockets to fix these things.
Tanya goes on to say: “While there was speculation that the two cars were “dicing” down the town’s main Kangella Street, Captain Tienkie van Vuuren said the drivers had told police that Mbambo was giving directions to Sibiya, which were misunderstood. “The two drivers said they were looking for a nearby dam where wedding pictures were being taken. “According to them, Mbambo signalled to Sibiya to turn, but Sibiya took it as a signal to overtake, and the collision occurred.” Even though no one was injured in the accident, Tanya found out that one man was allegedly assaulted, while cellphones with cameras were seized and a local journalist, Larry Bentley, was threatened when he took photographs.
This story went out worldwide, it’s even listed on Jalopnik…
Famous Porsche tuner missing in SA?
February 17, 2010 by Krutch · Leave a Comment
It would seem so from reports on a few local new sites. It seems the main man behind German-based tuning company, Gemballa, headed off to SA over week ago and hasn’t been heard of since. Authorities are being very clever here too, they’re not divulging his travel plans, so obviously no one can keep an eye out for the man anywhere. No wonder our crime rate always rises… Anyway, after checking out a few international sites, it seems that the man could possibly have gone to a country in the southern part of Africa, which as we know is different to South Africa. The rest of the world seems to think we’re one big happy place though.
Potholes? It gets worse, whole lanes messed up!
February 9, 2010 by Krutch · 6 Comments
Yeah, it gets worse, just take a look at the pics. These are roads that I take to work and back, and the scary thing about what you see here is that there are larger potholes up the street but I couldn’t get pics because there was no safe place to park Allanah. Even scarier is that this is the “good” road to take! You can see in the pics that to avoid these holes you have to go into the oncoming lane, but that can usually be timed right to dodge cars too. What about that section of road that’s completely washed up? You can’t just go around it, you need to be in the oncoming lane for around 80-metres, that’s some distance!
SNS at MPH ‘10
Yeah, we were there with a huge kick-ass Rockford Fosgate trailer pumping some wicked tunes. Kris Budnik’s E46 M3 that was featured on the cover of Issue 101 was on dsplay as was a wicked ICE’d out Series 4 RX-7 and an airbrished, HellaFlush carbon fibre-bodied Opoel Corsa. At the back of the stand we had A.S.E’s insane Subaru WRX STi hatch as well as a sweeeeeet new Skyline GTR in a fresh light metallic blue paint, a complete change from the factory colours on offer.

Happy New Year!
Yup, it’s another new year here in SnS land and we’re hoping it’s gonna be a
great one. We hope to see more purpose-built drag and track cars, we hope
to see new stupid horsepower figures hitting the rollers, we hope to see the
fuel price and the price of imported performance parts drop, we hope to see
the times on the strips and circuits tumble but most of all…
We hope you have a great New Year and that everything you want to happen,
well happens. Welcome back dear readers, happy 2010!

Sport Compact Dyno Challenge

The Sport Compact dyno challenge is taking place on the 5th of December 2009 hosted by Precision Race Technologies. View the poster below for more details.

Sunday saw the final round of the Autozone Sport Compact Series. It was the final chance for some of the competitors to score vital championship points and the competition was hot and heavy.
One particular battle unfolded after brewing for most of the day. Richard Jordaan in the SnS Nissan Champ ran consistent 8.9-second runs all day with a best of 8.88.
Boeta Kotze, piloting the insane Emotion Toyota pick up also wowed the crowds with a pass of 8.9.
But then, later on in the day, the two were paired up against each other in the eliminations with only a 0.050 difference in the dial-ins, making it virtually heads up.
Jordaan launched hard but it seemed that Kotze was even stronger, the two running side by side up until about the 200m mark where the Emotion Toyota expired in a plume of smoke.
Details surrounding the engine failure are sketchy at best but it was evident that both drivers were giving it their all.
I’m sure Boeta Kotze will run even quicker in days to come and Richard Jordaan will be trying everything to keep him at bay.
Rocking out with Straatligkinders
October 23, 2009 by spyke · Leave a Comment
Warren and myself trekked through to HS Monument in Krugersdorp to chat to the guys from Straatligkinders, a young hard-rock/punk-core band that’s taking the country by storm. Speaking of storms… it caned down right before the shoot but let up just as we arrived.
Straatligkinders is yet another office favourite, we just had to find out what we had in common!
Look out for the interview in an upcoming issue!
