There is a lot going on in the news at the mo with regards to the rollout of this new ‘E-toll’ vibe. The DA even ran billboards mocking the ANC. Watch this video to get to grips with the whole thing.
A monster truck “Extreme Aeroshow” in Chihuahua, Mexico, went horribly awkward this weekend when one of the monster trucks lost control and ploughed into a crowd of spectators. At least eight people died and 80 people were left seriously injured in the accident. Please be warned, the video above is of a massive monster crashing into a crowd of people, its graphic and quite hard to watch.
I used Uber for the first time last night. It’s mindblowing. You download the app, store your credit card details (once) and next thing you’re watching the car (black Merc) heading towards you on the map. In a word, it’s ridiculous.
Roadhogs is a local site put together to report bad drivers on our roads. As it stands now, Johannesburg is voted the worst city to drive in (with 49% of the votes!) and Volkswagen drivers, the worst on the road
The next generation Mini is not only keeping up with the times, its taking giant leaps ahead of them and going big on technology. Take the “Driving Experience Control” switch for instance, with a flick of this switch you can turn your already pimping car into a party-mobile by changing the entire cabin’s colours and turing the footwells into a ‘Mini Disco floor.’
A tip for survival, don’t piss off a biker, and definitely don’t piss off a whole mob of bikers! One way to piss off a biker is to mess with his ride. The driver of this black SUV learnt that the hard way when he was involved in minor fender bender with a motorcyclist taking part in the annual “Hollywood Block Party” bike rally.

No doubt many of you would have driven past this debacle en route to your office this morning. If you’re a fan of The Butcherman in Green Point you will be devastated to hear that you’ll have to go elsewhere for the rare and delicious lamb shoulder that you’ll no doubt have been planning to roast this evening with garlic gloves, rosemary and mint – because a car just drove through their front window.
Another skyscraper is being added to the London skyline and usually, when this happens, complaints roll in about the view being spoiled, but that’s not entirely the case for the latest addition, dubbed, the ‘Walkie Talkie’. Complaints about this one have to do with melting expensive cars.
Nigel Mansell. Ayrton Senna. Michael Schumacher. These are people who inspire you. You may even care for these people, emotionally. We want to be with them. You may want to be them. Hell, you may want to be inside them. If you’re a petrol head, you cannot miss this.
Skip this one if you’ve survived a professional racing incident involving you being in your car when it bursts into flames. Michael Stofflet races cars for a living. As does sometimes happen in motor races, Michael had something of a little spill. Except that he spilled on to his roof, and watched – trapped inside the vehicle – as fuel leaked from his car, and ignited with him stuck in the seat.
With a level of brainlessness usually reserved for dashcam footage from remote corners of Europe (we mean Russia), a Gauteng biker has been filmed leaving a sports bar on a super bike. Oh yes, there was a small child clinging on to the rider’s waist, with no child safety support equipment of any kind. But […]
The oldest user on Facebook is 105-year-old Edythe Kirchmaier. Look at her – 105 and happy, and on Facebook, and still driving! She’s not only Facebook’s oldest user but California’s oldest driver too. She learned to drive when she was 19 in a Ford Model T. Now here’s something that will restore your faith in […]
Yes! One step closer to the Transformers! South Korean researchers at the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have spent buckets of money creating a prototype for the Armadillo-T folding car.
Some people love Euro cars. It’s not so much about the brand, as the place. You might be one of those people. You might occasionally catch yourself fantasising that you’re careening around the curves of a French gorge on your way home. You might also fantasise about saving R136,000 on your next car.
Some rich guy (or girl) just purchased a super rare 1967 Ferrari for $27,5 million (R279,034,843.84) and set a world record! The Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider was sold on Saturday night in Monterey, California, and makes it the most expensive road car ever sold at an auction.
Kanye obviously cares about the safety and security of his baby, North West. He cares so much that he has bought two Dartz Prombron armoured SUVs for about R20 million each to protect him, and his child from the crazies.
James Bond’s car from the 1977 classic, ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ has gone up for auction. But this is not just any car, it’s a fully-functional submarine car! Having racked up more screen-time than any other 007 car, this Lotus Espirt is a real collector’s item.
Introducing ‘MINI Art Beat’ as part of MINI’s ‘Not Normal’ campaign. With over 40,000 LED lights attached to the body of the car, the Countryman has become the car that plays videos.
This was an April Fools Day joke gone good. Mini customers loved the concept that they wanted to put in orders for the new motor homes. And now Mini has three design proposals.
When most people have a tree blocking their path, they choose to go around it. But that wasn’t really an option for F1 and rally car driver, Robert Kubica. Tearing round a bend, Kubica miscalculated his turn, and being faced with a rapidly approaching tree he chose to hold his line and mow the wood down rather than swerve.
Like a scene out of GTA, a semi-truck lost control on an Indianapolis highway this last weekend, sailed through the air, and burst into flames. The event was captured on camera and can be seen right here, for your viewing pleasure. The driver and his 7-year-old son, who was in the truck with him, both escaped the flight and subsequent explosion with only “a few scratches”.
A boardwalk in Venice Beach, California was the scene of a gruesome hit and run on Saturday when a driver of a Dodge Avenger ploughed through a crowd of pedestrians, injuring 11 and killing one person. The victim, Alice Gruppioni was on her honeymoon.
Vehicle sales for the month of July are the best they have been since July 2007 and it is probably a result of the weaker rand coupled with consumers fears of how this will impact them.
Earlier this week we brought you the tragic story of the Lamborghini Murcielago that burnt to a crisp in Clifton. You can watch two videos of that horrific event, here. Well, it’s now a few days laters, and the charred remains are making their way to the car graveyard for interring. It’s a sad sight. […]
This New Zealand Aston enthusiast chose the 1961 Aston Martin DB4 model to replicate. Ivan Sentch has undertaken the painstaking task of 3D printing the replica which has plenty of detail on the body.
Well this is the most skilled piece of motor racing you’ll see today. This last weekend, the Spa 24 Hours race got underway in France. One Alessandro Pier Guidi, driving his Ferrari 458 spun out in the notorious Radillon portion of the circuit in front of a tightly packed field of cars. Did he panic? Did he lose control? No. He went full-badass, spun the supercar 360 degrees, and carried on like nothing happened.
Last night, a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster spontaneously caught fire and burnt to a crisp on a Clifton roadside. This Lambo has a retail value of anywhere between R3 million and R4 million, depending on the exact year and model. Jaco le Roux was on scene to capture the tragedy on film. No one was injured. @topgearmagSA Lamborghini […]
Local economists have warned that motorists can expect an increase in the petrol price during the month of August, pushing the price of one litre of juice up between 25 and 30 cents, Rond.
