Waseem is 23 years old and specialises in information security. He has 4 uncles on his mother's side that have been racing all their life from the eldest to the youngest. He grew up going to the track on the weekends with them, watching fast and furious over and over till they memorised all the words. “ I still remember going to their house every Sunday and there were two NOS bottles, one gold and one silver, it was taller than me. HAHA''.

The family owns a motor spares business and all their cars were built in the backyard by them. They helped and taught each other as each grew up “ passing down the wrench as to say”. He worked some weekends from high school and then studied his degree online and worked full time to purchase his dream car, which is the Toyota 86

Waseem owns a 2jz Rocket Bunny V1 Toyota 86. The reason why he bought the Toyota was, he met someone by the name of Paul while playing Call of Duty online. They were best friends for 10 years and he spent every new year's eve with him. Every need for speed they played they would build a Rocket bunny 86 and wished they could do a 2jz swap.

They even built and drifted Rocket Bunny 86 and Supra RC cars. He planned to buy a manual and Paul was going to get an automatic because Paul lost a leg due to an accident. Unfortunately, Paul passed away from cancer in 2020. He cherished his Toyota then and more now since he has the 2jz Rocket Bunny 86 “I just wish he was here to see it. RIP Paul”

What makes the Toyota 86 stand out from others is, besides the fact it is bright yellow and apart from the 2jz engine, there were only 1500 yellow 86`s made and they were released in America. He possibly has the only one in South Africa or even in the whole of Africa. The same applies to his Buddy Club V1 tail lights which were discontinued and had to be imported from Australia and are the only set in South Africa.

He opted for the smooth look instead of the riveted look with the body kit which looks alot cleaner in his opinion and not alot of people go for that look. The Rocket Bunny kit has been mixed with the TRD kit creating a mashup between the two.

What the car scene has done for Waseem is that he has made a lot of friends and met some helpful individuals. There are amazing individuals and clubs in the car community which are supportive and friendly, the 86 group in Cape town are definitely one of them and there are many others.

He says the car scene has some salt and hate in it, which he cannot understand or relate to because cars to him are a way of expressing yourself and your passion. It's an art to show off, whether it be power, looks or stance.

To quote Waseem “ we all share the same love for cars, so let's lift each other up, not everyone has the means to do a 1000hp build or even 200hp build, as long as the spirit, passion and love for cars are there. That's all we need in the community”

Dream car

I'm in my dream car…. I never pictured it yellow lol but yellow sort of chose me, so I grew on to it
