Feedback from first event

The weather was absolutely perfect at the 4x4 Fun Day where the “Jimny Owners Club of KZN” had it’s debut in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday 12th  May.
Thanks to all who supported the event for the fantastic atmosphere & especially the ”Team Suzuki” mascots- Amanda Kavanagh & Sue Van Rensburg, for their enthusiasm and support for the Ladies Team, driven by Leigh Baxendale & co driver- Ally Thomson, (see photos).

Whilst the Jimnies did not compete this time round- they were acknowledged as the best possible 4x4 to launch a “Beginners Ladies Team,” in this traditionally male dominated sport. Interestingly- the organizer: Lee Baxendale of “Procreations,” is on a drive to promote women participating in this tough sport.
Lee’s wife- Leigh Baxendale and co-driver Ally Thomson, achieved a brilliant 6th  place overall, narrowly missing 3rd after an extremely technical obstacle took it’s toll.

While the bigger (pricier!) 4x4’s were roaring around, the Jimnies drew in a lot of interest from the families & spectators who doted over the Jimnies for having the ”CUTE-FACTOR”.. with the tough off-road ability rolled into one.

The next gathering of the Jimny Owners Club, will be an out-drive with technical skills being taught in an off-road environment, river-crossing and trails through our breathtaking KZN countryside.
