Secunda Run (26 May 2012)

Probably at the Casino or close to it. The shopping center is way too crowded and busy to take extra cars on a Sat. morning.
Will give it some thought.

What about that parking area on the N17 side, the new section of the Carnival mall? Is that also too busy? Remember this will be before 8am so it should have enough space?

No I mean for the guys in the East Rand and Pta to get together before heading to the casino.

for example in Edenvale somewhere everybody meets up then they head to the coordinates I gave and we all head to the casino together

Guys make it easy for everyone:

-West meet at Westgate shopping centre at 7am to leave 07:30. Phil will be in charge there.

-East/Pta meet at Carnival Mall (new parking area next to the N17) 07:15 to leave 07:45. BK or FJ can you please take the lead from here?

-Both convoys and anyone else from Witbank/Pta etc meet in Secunda next to the KFC (between PDP Kruger and Horwood Str) at 09:00, I will meet you all there and we will leave to the show as one JDM convoy from there.

Please communicate this on the other forums as well.

Anyone got any wives to leave earlier and check the route for us LOL.

Most of the time the N17 is clear but they do sometimes hide in the bushes selling crappy photos for big money.

N17 Carnival Mall should be good before 8, meet at the food side by the KFC.

East Rand guys have 2 toll gates from Carnival Mall. About 35 each way I think.

Not sure of your meeting place is in Secunda Area but at the Secunda offramp from the N17 there is a new Sasol Garage with a fair amount of parking away from the pumps and they sell coffee. Not sure how many cars are expected. (By that time Barry will need his coffee and chocolates and I will definately need a coffee.)

John let's keep to the meeting spot I gave in Secunda, its been communicated on other forums, easy to find and much closer to the casino, also no detour for guys that's not from Jhb/Pta and its big enough that the amount of cars showing up won't be an issue. KFC has coffee as well 🙂

Getting a bit concerned here. Is it still on ? Three days left and no concrete plans here yet..

Anyone else joining the lekker open road run?

Barry the one thing that's 100% certain is that I'm meeting who ever is coming through in the parking lot next to the KFC in Secunda around 9 Saturday morning. I recruited some guys from here as well.

Hey BK

It is all systems go.

I did ask if you have a place where the guys from PTA and the East Rand can meet then you head to the gps coordinates that I gave. You never responded to say you have a spot or not?

Do you have a spot where the East and Pta can meet?
And are you willing to lead the convoy?
I am leading the one from Westgate.

Or if you want you can come to Westgate.

Which one would be best?

Westgate is confirmed for 07:00 at the entrance closest to the bus stops

Boet ! Westgate adds a billion Km,s to our journey ! Yes, we will meet at Westgate then !! Nah, only joking....

I`m not leading sh*t It`s every man for himself. We can all drive out together though.

Ok, Ill give a meeting place some thought then. It would have to be in the Benoni area I would think.
Will get back here with a spot ..

Come on BK

I think it will be a good sight to see the red S14 in the front with a couple of cars in it's mirrors.

If you do lead it. Tell them to keep up

Just FYI for those coming through,
advertisements for the show appeared all over
town, it seems the drifitng guys will be there
again and giving out suicide rides (Ernest? Are you coming through again? Although you
have to pay, part of the fundraising for the
school) and they usually have a mobile dyno
there - I won't trust the figures 100% and I've
heard it's a very generous dyno, but its still fun
to hear RB's howling away 😉

Looking forward to tomorrow - the drifting track is a bit bigger this year 😉

Ok, we are meeting up at Carnival Mall in the morning. No idea who will be there but John and I will be there at about 7:30 am.

Veiliside GT-r from Pta met up with us all in Secunda. Trip there was memorable once again with the cars really excelling along the open road. There were about 6 cars in total and we met some new friends.
The drifting was really hobbled by the real short track layout but it was fun.

Lots of Chev Luminas in all colours and stripes ! Jiss, and all owned by real old ballies in leather jackets with even older , peroxided blond over weight wives !!
Must be the in thing in Secunda...

And all the chicks smelled the same ! They probably all buy the perfume from the same chemist there ! Could not believe they all smelled the same as you walked past them.....

All in ? A real lekka day.. Thanks guys.

Haha glad you enjoyed the drive! Sorry that I disappeared, was running around between helping my wife at her stand and hanging around the HRD stand where the Skyline was parked for the rest of the day. I posted some pics on Rezlo.

i had a fun day to...
