Only the Best Spinners to Honour Bongos “Rn1”

Soshanguve was the place to be this weekend. BMW enthusiasts from all over Gauteng headed to the township to burn some rubber at the Masters of the pitch spin city. The event was held at the Soshanguve Spin Palace in Block F on Saturday.

With spinning and drifting Soshanguve Spin Kings held the event in honour of a member who passed away after a car accident at Rosslyn. The late Bongos ‘Rn1’ was well known for his signature ‘reverse and one’ move. Only the best spin crews, including neighbouring crew Garankuwa Drifters, were invited to burn their rubber.

West side Connect crew surprised the hosts with a Nissan drifting in the predominantly Gusheshe territory. Zwikhodo ‘Ziko’ Nembambula unleashed his samurai sword in a battle against the Germans as he drifted in a Nissan 350z, one of the ultimate drift cars that Nissan has produced. “Ziko added value to the event, he always has a great performance lined up for us,” said Bongani Makhubo, a member of the Soshanguve Spin Kings.

Apart from the spinning, stunt men performed various adrenalin pumping stunts.

One of the most impressive was from West Side Connect who had two stuntmen performing simultaneously."The event was a huge success just like the previous events", said Makhubo.

Driving home was the most difficult part especially if you weren’t driving a Gusheshe. Events like this embrace the heritage of the BMW E30 325is.
