WHAT's NEW FOR 2025?
SPECIAL GUEST NOEL G. aka HECTOR from Fast & Furious 1 & 7:
For the first time in South Africa a Fast & Furious cast member will be at a car show. YES, Thats Right!
This August don't let any other automotive event distract you from the fact that HECTOR will be signing more than 3 Autographs with his Fast & Furious pen and on top of that, he will be doing Photo ops and a 15minute talk live on our stage during all 3 days!
He also appeared in Training Day, Bruce Almighty, The Mayans, High Rollers, Purge Anarchy, The Dark Knight Rises, Fresh Off the Boat, CSI Miami, Bones, The Walking Dead and literally hundreds more. Some say... he has been called by the name Hector more times than his actual name. More about Noel Gugliemi.
