Random Act Of Kindness Or Just Nuts? Businessman GIVES AWAY His New R8 To Valet Attendants

It's not clear whether the donor's grand gesture was part of a publicity campaign for his business but the car bears no advertising and is still the registered owner of the vehicle.

The extraordinary gift, which apparently belongs to a trust, has piqued the interest of visitors to the mountain and the two men have been stopped several times by police who thought they must have stolen the gleaming black Audi R8. Each time they were released because the businessman, a Capetonian who only bought the car in the city at Christmas, confirmed their bizarre story. He asked the car guards not to identify him.

Fabrice Munganga-Mugala, 25, and Desire Shima, 25, are from the Democratic Republic of Congo. They say they were working at Table Mountain's Cableway car park a week ago when they were approached by the businessman.

This is one gift I would enjoy for a weekend, so as not to appear ungrateful, and promptly sell the following Monday.

I could get 2 really nice luxury cars for the price of this one. Or a nice luxury car and pay off all of my debt. Hell I could buy a house where I am for the amount I would get off of this car and still have some left over for a nice car.

Very odd indeed! Though not suprised, in fact I've never really been a fan of the frankenstein looking R8 maybe the owner started feelin the same way and seeing the same thing I always felt about this car. It's really not cute. Check out my comment on the LFA article to find out more....
