MPH Show 2008 - Pictures!

I was lucky enough to get a Media Pass to MPH Show 2008 by ‘Anny’, the lady running the show and the person you organised me the pass. So on Sunday Stevin and I decided to head to the Coca Cola Dome in Northgate, Gauteng. I got my press pass and headed to the entrance.

I must say the exhibition was mediocre, showing off cars that I had seen launched at the 2006 Auto Africa besides the BMW’s which boasted there new range of sports cars ranging from the new 135i to the new E92 m3. Oh and I must say, the Audi R8 is still an eye catcher and still is the only perfect car on the market at the moment, well at least until the S5 comes out.

We then got the call over the PA system announcing that you could enter the enclosed arena for the Motoring Theater which was the main attraction because it was hosted by none other than Sasha Martinengo… OK, let’s not play around here, I think the main attraction was Top Gear’s Richard Hammond, the real crowd calling card Jeremy Clarkson and let us not forget James May who was unable to attend the show because he is both old fashioned and and has no sense of direction and ended up in Rhodesia (free plug!).

Onto the show - the show would obviously be filled with exciting tricks and silly comments and they did not fail to please. It was filled with stunts, splendor and absolute mayhem as Top Gear would have it. It is hard to describe cars doing doughnuts, dancing, playing football and being cut in half or shrunk tiny sizes to race around a made up track; so I will let the pictures do the talking. Enjoy!

How much cheese can a Chinese Sneeze?

2 weeks ago I went to a friend’s birthday dinner party. With her parents being so traditional I expected to have a very traditional Chinese meal, well it was a bit more traditional than I first thought.

We were first treated to spring rolls and some sweet and sour prawns, which were very nice and made my stomach nice and full. We were then treated to a few delicacies; this is what made the night one to remember for ever. First up was shreds of fish, then some seaweed, some bamboo shoots and the big finally jelly fish! What an amazing experience and what a lot of food. So I thought! After that came a whole chicken, a entire duck, some fish, a few bowls of stir fry and some cake. I was seriously bloated after that!

The night was great fun with great company. Hope you like the pics:
