Ama-Ferrari-Ferrari

The Ferrari Formula 1 racing team recently fired their whole pit crew to employ a few young guys from Soweto. This sudden reaction was due to a TV documentary showing how young Sowetans could take a car's wheels off within 6 seconds, without any fancy equipment.

Ferrari soon regretted their decision, however, as the young men not only
changed the wheels within 6 seconds, but 12 seconds later the car had been
re-sprayed and sold to the McLaren team.
Ferrari was still eager to compete in the race and, since they no longer
had a Formula 1 car to race with, decided to race a Sowetan minibus taxi,
complete with an experienced (yet unlicensed) driver and Fare collector, in
the Grand Prix. Of course they easily won the race, since the minibus
weaved its way through the start grid, set off before the lights changed
and didn't bother to change the tyres when they wore out. It also took all
corners at maximum speed, as the brakes were non-existent.
On the way to victory, the new Ama-Ferrari-Ferrari team also managed to
hijack several competitors' cars, and picked up 35 passengers at some
notoriously dangerous spots, including blind rises, as well as in the
chicane.

We can be proud of another SA sporting achievement which will put us at the
forefront of sporting history. Well done boys
