THE REASON FOR THIS IS SIMPLE I
NEVER PROSTITUTE MY EVENTS
This past month was a rather hectic one, with having to attend
events back to back on weekends both in and out of Gauteng.
Nonetheless, with our new crew onboard we brought our A-game to
every event and were always aiming to surprise the hosts with our
hard work in making their event a success. It’s also no wonder then,
that Terence and his Supersonic team with Black Rock Casino in Newcastle awarded me with being a great ambassador to the Northern KZN
Car Audio industry…
We work hard and so do the hosts and all sponsors involved to create
great automotive events which help in promoting this market. Time and
time again I hear automotive entrepreneur’s whinge at this ailing industry, yet there are people out there that thrive on ripping the market
to pieces without a care in the world. Their pockets become the biggest
thinkers ahead of their brains.
happen so frequently that you can’t even keep track of them. I have
sound events in the past and they used to be so well attended because
my timing was always right. The reason for this is simple I never prostitute my events, they were hosted two to three months apart and my
marketing was punted for that duration too.
Today, it seems like organisers of these smaller mind-numbing
shows seem to just organise an event to either spite their competi

For our MMR Live event, the similar plot played out. When all the

i guys
I’d like to thank you
guys at Max My Ride
Magazine for the awesome
Max My Ride Live Event. As
promised, I walked from
East Rand Mall to Emperors
Palace. It was worth every
penny! I had a fabulous
day! I’m a sound addict
and I loved the Kicker and
Starsound combos.

Hey Lunga
You my friend are a true fan
of Max My Ride. We really
appreciate it when we have
fans go out of their way to
show their support. I still
can’t believe you walked
to you. You’re right man,
the event was an awesome
one and we had an absolute
blast. We left there with
huge smiles, wishing we
had more time with our
loyal fans like you. We look
forward to seeing at the
upcoming events. But bro,
please remember that we
live in SA and it’s not always
safe to walk. With that
said though, we’re amped
that you could make such a

ey guys
I just wanna say you guys are simply
the best, I had a blast in Newcastle
and then, believe it or not, I came
along to Tarlton the next day with my mates.
We had a great time and the cars really
amazed us. We’re from Durban and were
really excited to see some of those cars
run, that Mercedes CLS55 was scary but we
loved it. Thank you for the magazines and
stickers guys, it’s really cool that you gave
something back to the community. Can’t
wait to see you guys again.
Keep it up!

Hey Alan
Wow! We thought we were the only ones
making such a brave trek. After the event
on Saturday, we drove back that same
night, had a few hours of sleep then arrived at Tarlton at 6AM the next morning.
We had a blast at the event and it was a
success because of people like you that
there with us wherever we go. You must’ve
been really tired after that trip, we know
because we couldn’t wake up the next
morning for work. Knowing that you made
such a journey to see us really warms our
hearts. MMR fans are really surprising us
recently, it’s a brilliant feeling to know
that you guys do so much for us. All we
can say is, Thank You! The events are just
gonna be getting better and better so
make sure you’re there, oh and bring your
mates along as well. See you soon buddy.
