The year has been filled with awesome motoring events but nothing stands out as much as the instalments from the Last Lion Lifestyle group. They have managed to start their Season Finale from the pitch of the World Cup Cape Town Stadium which I did not even think was possible.


This McLaren 650s stole the show everytime the sun reflected off its Volcano red paint.


It was something completely new to the stadium and thanks to a massive social media presence the crowds gathered in their masses just outside the very exclusive event to see the parade leave.


The exit was a spectacular of almost 500 Million Rands worth of supercars. On exit the road was filled with Ferrari’s, Porsche, Lamborghini’s, Jaguar, McLaren, Maserati and Mercedes Benz.


A classic, the legend. Does it come with handle bar mustach like Magnum P.I?

International Lamborghini Racing driver David Perel clipping the apex in his Bently. If it were a manuel I'm sure he would
be using the heel and toe technique.


Those lucky enough to get invited inside the stadium were spoilt by Vida café staff pitch side while taking pictures with some of Cape Town’s most expensive and exclusive machines.


The group then left in procession by police escort down the N1 where lots of unsuspecting members of the public were spoilt by the more than 120 car train all the way to the Engen Garage on the N2 to regroup.

The group caused a small frenzy at the garage before leaving for the beach road to Hermanus.


Thousands of beach dwellers and holiday makers left the sand and surf to line one of the most scenic roads in the world armed with smart devices to catch the spectacle.


Always a favourite at all the events.


The group eventually ended up at Benguela Cove private resort for a catered lunch with an amazing lagoon backdrop. Guests were also spoilt with free boat rides on the lagoon while others relaxed on the beach.


The Last Lion Lifestyle team with their sponsors arranged a world class event for their members and has set the bar for the 2016 year extremely high.


They even had their own super-police cars to control the 100+ convoy...


From the experiences from last year as any indicator for the next we have a lot to look forward to. I as a member of the media would like to thank the group for the invitation and hope to be part of this brand going forward.
