Vdub Camp Fest 2k23 – a record-setting event, even with a squishy show arena

Vdub Festival 2k23 – that was one for the books, for many reasons. Of course, VAG Café was in attendance in force with a bunch of awesome flient cars (flient = friends and clients) on display. Some merch was on sale too, those Year of the Rabbit Ts are so damn cool and from the reactions is clear that everyone thinks so. This instalment of the biggest gathering of VAG cars in the Southern Hemisphere, was the biggest to date. To say the...

The VWCSA DubRun 2k22 – A VAG Cafe tale

The annual DubRun with the Volkswagen Club of SA recently took place, and VAG Café was in attendance, but you already knew that would be the case. The event is the Club’s annual pilgrimage to Durban, an event that was started way back in 2007. In fact, boss man and owner of VAG Café, Shaun Mooloo was one of the initial instigators along with a bunch of like-minded Volkswagen and Audi fanatics. Memory is a little fuzzy because we’ve been in this game...

A State of Stance – KZN’s monster event!

A State of Stance 2022 - well, that was quite the show! Daaaaaamn! It was the furthest I've driven to shoot a weekend show in recent years, and I'm rather pleased that I did. I was keen on attending, and I luckily managed to crack an invite to attend and shoot, which covered most of the fuel bill and also sorted me out for accommodation and media passes for the event. That's a win in anyone's books. Friday was the set up day,...

VAG Cafe & the 2021 VWCSA VKC track day

With things feeling a lot more normal-ish, events are ever so slightly starting happen again on the motorsport side of things. Oddly the law still says you can't have more than 200 people at an outdoor event (or something equally ridiculous) and so this means the events that rely on foot traffic income to be able to cover the cost of setting things up can't happen. That or someone is going to be a fair chunk of change out of pocket. To be...

VWCSA at VKC 2020 by VAG Cafe

Here at the Cafe of VAG, we love to support the Volkswagen Club of SA when they have events. They're always put together just right, but when it comes to the racing events we always wondered why the field of cars is usually made up of non-club members as well as non-VAG cars, especially with so many hot and fast cars in the club - we know they're there because we helped to make many of them fast. Well we're happy to repot...

A VAG Café-flavoured Speakeasy

"Speakeasy?" We hear you ask. If you haven't heard the term, you've clearly never read or watched anything from the days of prohibition. While the official meaning of a speakeasy borders on the illegal, it sort of fits as a name for some small get-togethers that started springing up round SA, particularly at VAG Café. If you head on over to Wiki, you'll find that prohibition ran primarily from 1920 to 1933, but people still made plans to gather and get schnozzled. Establishments...

VAG Cafe hit up the DubRun Tape-up 2019 with VWCSA

DubRun is the Volkswagen Club of SA's annual pilgrimage to the coast to make a show for enthusiasts down that side, and along the way. That's the official version, it's really just an extended convoy to a rad location to have the mother of all piss-ups and head home the next day. VAG Cafe has been on this trip a few times, but sadly for 2019 we're not headed with. Previous commitments set in stone meant we could only attend the Tape Up...

VWCSA + Redstar = RWYB. VAG Cafe reports…

Yeah, drag racing can be a funny, funny thing. Head online to a million and one Facebook groups, check out WhatsApp groups dedicated to cars and racing and you will see literally hundreds of properly modified cars with big power and owners bragging about killing this supercar and that GT-R and this bike and and and...
