Family Fun and Cherished History
The Whales and Wheels Classic Car Show holds a special place in Hermanus's history, dating back to its inception behind the station building in 1999. The event was founded by the well-known motoring and TV presenter/journalist Alan Johnson and Thor Bovin, with the assistance of Oom Danie Loubser, a devoted Peugeot enthusiast.
Meet Roy Groenewald: A Classic Car Enthusiast
Get to know the man behind the wheel, Roy Groenewald, the current event organiser of this classic car extravaganza. Roy's passion for cars began at a young age when he attended a car parade in Hermanus CBD with his mother in the 1950s. His love for classic cars was further fueled when he met "Oom" Danie Loubser, who had driven a pristine Model T Ford in that very parade.
A Town of Cherished Memories
