Boys and their Toys

I  love to photograph Fashion and all things beautiful but on Saturday as a favour to my dearest RJ, I took photographs at a TRD event and it is so true, boys, no matter how old they get, love to play with cars...
The TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT OWNERS CLUB are no exception... they held a Dyno day- basically to see the output of their engines, and men came from as far as George to attend the event. 
  
These TRD young men are quite exceptional, it was interesting to engage with them to see the culture behind the club- its all about the love of cars- in this case Toyota's! They held events similar to this to raise funds, and give back to charity, which I think is amazing!
Its a little like FAST AND THE FURIOUS without girls, music and everything illicit. The focus was speed and cars but I can't give you more details as its really not my speciality. However, it was interesting to learn a bit more about this cultural aspect of Cape Town, these men, their families, cars and traditional boerewors all form part of the familiar Cape Town atmosphere. There was a little bit of tension when the different car clubs arrived at the venue, but I guess that's just testosterone kicking in as every man wants his car to be the fastest...
TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT OWNERS CLUB get boys off the street, away for the dangers of illegal street racing promoting a family orientated environment, where men can share in their love for cars...
