Weekend antics

It's been a great, busy weekend :

H&I went to the launch of a new hangar for the Red Cross Air Mercy service (AMS), at Durban International Airport, leaving the boys with the granmas for the night....

We caught a late movie (when last did we do THAT ?!) - X-men 3 : was very entertaining !!! While waiting for the movie, we shopped at the Pavillion, buying Arno Carstens' first album, and that holy grail of animated movies : Buzz Lightyear of Star Command !!!

On Saturday, after I took a short early drive with the RS2 (see below), we spent the morning at the Essenwood craft market...
After a bit of rest in the afternoon, we took a trip to Gateway, where the boys ran riot at the Science center. We saw a great PC setup for kids, and decided to try and do the same at home...

After putting the family to bed in the evening, I went out with some buds, to TACO ZULU, a new Afro-Mexican eatery in Florida Road.

Sunday saw the Quattro shootout, and a wedding - pictures on flickr....

Returning home by 3pm, we looked back at a most enjoyable weekend.

SNOW dot coza

A Holiday update ! Eurotrip 06 is off ! We are replacing this with a short ski-trip, at Tiffendell....

We have been there once before, but this time we're checking into the resort, and taking the boys along....promises to be loads of fun !

A Tale of 2 Quattros !



The highlight of my weekend was driving my buddy TC's two silver Quattros !

He is the proud owner of a 2005 Audi A3 Sportback 3.2 V6 DSG quattro and a 1995 Audi RS2 quattro !!!

The RS2 is an absolute beast - it's 260+ kw of power under the hood just wants to give more, in all gears !

The A3 3.2 V6 is a modern, sophisticated pocket rocket that delivers it's 180kw in the smoothest, slickest way possible...I'm convinced there's no quicker way to change gears than the DSG gearbox !

We'll be looking to take these two beauties to the race track soon, as well as on a few Audi club breakfast runs...I am SOOO keen to find one in SA...there were only 20 brought into the country, so I need all the luck I can get !
