Mine’s better than yours

The annual car show, or should we say, show-off, was a first for Namibia. The crowds were wild, the cars looked stunning and the DJs were on the mark and on the groove. The show kicked off on Friday at the Grove Mall of Namibia in Windhoek’s Kleine Kuppe suburb, showcasing two rides done, redone and jazzed-up by Ricky’s Custom Shop. The first was a Honda S2000 and the second, an Audi A4 hatchback fitted with air suspension. They were accompanied by the Red Bull Mini Cooper. The main show started at 10:00 on Saturday morning 24 June. The theme for this event was a perfect fit. The car shows normally start during the day and run all the way through until it is dark so, ‘Cars at sunset’ suited that perfectly.“If you ask any car show organiser in Namibia they will tell you the same thing: It is an issue getting a sport field or any proper type of grassy area which is what we normally use. This year we wanted to try to secure a parking are with enough space and that is why we approached the Grove Mall of Namibia. They welcomed us with open arms and with that said, we really appreciate them giving us the opportunity to give Namibia something completely different than your average car show,” said Nadia van Wyk, one of the organisers. Nadia was assisted by Zeeno Farmer and together they set up a stunning show. A lot of sponsors were involved such as Dee Dee Electrical, TyreRack Namibia, MultiChoice Namibia and many more. Every event’s challenge is also getting as much exposure as possible and giving the car enthusiast something completely different every time - basically taking it to the next level . Prizes consisted of trophies, certificates, a N$5 000 rim voucher sponsored by TyreRack Namibia and other product prizes. Speed and Sound has always been a part of the event but this year they approached Brag Night with something different. This year they sent a production crew to cover the event and get some of the cars featured. “We really do appreciate them being here,” Nadia said. “I would say that what was really different this year would be our amazing venue and having Speed and Sound here, and having the wonderful support from our sponsors and friends that helped make this event possible,” she added.She sent a personal shoutout to all the sponsors that can on board and extended a special thank you to Webticket for their hard work on the event and on the day.On Friday, a display and promotion day was held at the Grove Mallwe had on the Friday at The Grove Mall and FreshFM and Red Bull were involved.All in all the show was remarkable and everyone is looking forward to the next Brag Night.Sadly, two famous faces died over the weekend. “We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the friends and families of Lesley Carew and Desmond Coetzee. We offer this with love respect from all car enthusiasts and motorclubs in Namibia. Let the roads be a safe place to be,” Nadia concluded.COBIE BOK
