Trucking company boss Erica Holt, who drove her Jaguar sports car into an upmarket Cape Town café on Tuesday, blames her number plate “2FAST4U-WP” for all the hate she has been getting online

“I’ve been on the media, I’ve hit everywhere. I haven’t read anything because to me it’s an accident. People aren’t very kind because you drive a fancy car. I’ve never actually experienced this kind of thing before because I think some of the Capetonians can be very nasty.”

“I have noticed that the Capetonians are very different to the [Gauteng] people, and they don’t like the sun to shine over anybody’s head and especially if it’s a woman who’s been successful, and that’s their prerogative,” she said. Erica Holt's photograph of her Jaguar F-Type attracted admiring comments on Facebook in November 2019.She said she barely ever uses the car, which has only 14,000km on the clock.

News outlet The South African quoted people saying that Holt’s Jaguar would often visit the shopping centre and rev loudly, but Holt said these were automatic features of her noisy car.
