Audi Awesomeness
On Friday I was lucky enough to be one of the 8 people selected to take part in the Audi Centre Cape Town MVP Day.
The 8 MVP’s were:
- Yours truly
- Lili Radloff
- Justin Hartman
- Matthew Buckland
- Bradley Voges
- Charl Norman
- Joe Botha
- Chris Rawlinson
So I got behind the wheel of an automatic for the first time in my life and my immediate (panicked) reaction was: “Oh crap! There are only 2 pedals … NOW what?” I was driving with Joe, who was ever-so-patient and polite while I got used to not using my left foot (and giving him a few hard-braked neck jolts at the same time … SORRY Joe!)
The A5 at our pit stop in Constantia.
Anyhoo … after those first few frightening minutes the Audi A5 2.0T FSi Multitronic was an absolute pleasure to drive. What a beautiful car!
At Constantia Village we stopped to swop cars and then it was the turn of the Audi Q5 3.2 FSI Quattro Stronic … more POWER! Lovely 😀

The next pit stop was at The Toad in the Village in Noordhoek, where we were treated to refreshments before heading out again. At this stage, 2 draws were done to see who would be taking the S4 around Chapman’s Peak Drive and who would win the chance to take the incredible R8 V10 out for a test drive later. Charl Norman won the R8 spin (w00t!) and I won the S4 drive, which I decided to give away to one of the guys. Justin Hartman LEAPED at the chance to take this baby out and I rode with him as we meandered around one of the most picturesque places in Cape Town.

“Hurry up with the picture woman – I want to GO GO GO!”
Because I was in the S4 for the final 2 car changes, I missed out on driving the TT and the Q7 but HELLZ, I ain’t complaining!
Our final stop was at the Cape Grace Hotel in the V&A Waterfront where Audi Cape Town treated us to a great lunch before we all went our separate ways. (My little Polo felt like a piece of doo-doo after all that heh.)
We had an awesome time! Thanks so much to Audi Centre Cape Town and Wernich Stipp for hosting this brilliant day 😀
