This will enter them into the running for the prizes, which will be awarded to the best cars on show.

One of the organizers of the event, Nadia van Wyk, had this to say on how it all came about: “While watching Mzanzi's Rides one afternoon, the idea came to me and we developed it into the Germany vs Japan Park Off because vehicles from those countries are very popular with the younger generation in Namibia. These include Volkswagen from Germany and Honda of Japan.” The event however is not confined to these makes and all Kinds of vehicles are welcome, including bikes and other vehicles.

Fresh FM's Azeal 'Cheeze' Matsoarelle invited the public out in numbers, saying “Fresh FM is a very young radio station, but when one looks at the calibre of our work and the events we're affiliated to, you wouldn't think that we're just six years old. We owe this amazing growth to our listeners, so this weekend's event at the TransNamib sports grounds is our way of saying thanks for the love over the years.”

Tickets for the event are available at Computicket for N$ 40.
