Subaru burbles echo through Seatides

Casuarina Beach managed to contain the sound and thrills of hundreds of combined horsepower on Sunday, December 15, as the Subaru Fun Crew of KwaZulu Natal descended for their year-end function.

The beach parking lot echoed with pops, bangs and flames from several tuned Subaru Impreza STIs and was graced with the arrival of a Mk4 Toyota Supra, cleaning up the scene and turning heads.

Event organiser Vicky Naidoo said the event wasn’t as large as he expected due to the weather, but any opportunity to meet with friends in the car club was welcomed.

“Whether it is two cars or fifty cars, it is good to see everyone and just relax around some amazing cars,” said Naidoo, who arrived with his wife Rene in a stunning white Subaru Forester.

The weather did not stop braais from being laid out in the grass while families gathered around each car, admiring the modifications and exchanging figures such as fuel efficiency and quarter-mile times.

SFC member and photographer Gareth Bargate arrived in his white ‘stinkeye’ Subaru STi and took advantage of the open roads, taking rolling photographs of different cars while seated in the back of a pickup truck owned by another SFC member, Thanersan Reddy.

“The photo opportunities are always plentiful on the North Coast as the area is very beautiful,” said Bargate.

The event brings the 2019 Subaru Fun Crew South Africa gatherings to a close and will likely have another breakfast run in February 2020.
