I wish I was 6years old.Then again, even if I was 6years old I still much ratherhave been out by thegymkhana side. With legalparking lot drifting, speeding,cutting turns and wheelspinning, the front-wheeldrives, and even occasionalrear-wheel propelled strippedout machines were cockingtheir back wheels at everylight pole like little poodlesmarking their territory. RacRGal Jade, Ebie De Long, andIzak van Zyl were all therebattling it out, each one tryingto beat the next one's time.Izak was a bit rude though ashe “rudely” showed everyonethe advantage power-toweighthas as he whipped hego-kart around the course.Being the pedantic sports-carlovers that we are its backinside the mall which reallywet our appetites; forget theLamborghinis and Ferraris,Alfas and other single-seaterand gti challenge race carson display... forget even theSASCAR V8 and trickedCaddie bakkie oval cars, whatinterested us most was theCAV demonstration.
