Cape Town:
Taco
Morne Stevens
Jozi:
Tayla Henshall
Zaamissbowtie
Check your emails guys and girls!
Dont let your mate convince you its a good idea to sleep in the car because it has aircon, instead of tents, cause its 40 degrees outside.
Then dont listen to your mate to turn music louder when driving home from RAM fest, esp when ur engines making a funny noise.
Resulted in a ceased engine & a R45k bill. Most expensive RAM fest EVER.
Result sitting on N1 for 4 hours, with the craziest hangover
