This was my first SA Torque Breakfast run and it was really great fun. Left Paarl at 6am and hit the N1 to Dunkin doughnuts hard. Was really lekker only thing I missed was having an electronic boost control as my buddy was on it with his s2000 lol. Really lekker car with an Invidia exhaust system. We hit the road well in the 200kph. Didn't drive the car that hard that long. I was very impressed once we stopped everything was solid and not one slight sign of overheating.

We drove from Dunkin Dougnuts on the N1 to the CBD and up the M3 all the way to Constantia Neck to a restaurant named La Parada. Really awesome place with nice food and a good selection of craft beers.

Worth the drive if you in the Cape Town area guys. Small twisty turns and nice drive.

We sent them both to APS for a quick service and the s2000 did a clutch upgrade.

I bought this car back in 2012 and slowly started fixing it while I was a student.
This car thought me a few things. One is that not everything comes when you want it and second to be patient. To this day I always think of how it use to just stand here with no engine and bruised paint. Since then I only drove this car for 11 000km in 7 years. Each time I drive it is just pleasure(yeah here and there I had to be a bit more careful or stressed out because of the hight) even that was fun lol.

After keeping it OEM plus for many years it was time for some slight changes but not drastic. Also, time to fix that window that stopped working.

A really fun day taking the cars out on some backroads in Paarl. For my really nice roads and hardly any cars on a Saturday afternoon.
