Recently we were very privileged to attend the Ineos Quartermaster Drive which took place over three days with two overnight stays in the beautiful Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area. The whole ‘glamp’site was set-up from scratch, so in other words, there was nothing there before!

Launched: 2024 Mazda CX-60 Takumi
We were recently invited by Mazda South Africa to the launch of a semi-new model in their stylish passenger vehicle line-up. Their flagship CX-60 is still quite new in southern African terms, and combines innovative tech with excellent comfort features and striking design, but now there is a new top-spec “Takumi” version with a very, very interesting engine.

Sprint Review: 2023 Lexus UX250H
(from R857 900)
Since the very first Lexus that I drove back in 2001, the brand has kept a distinctive level of comfort under the skin of every car. Yes, lots of German cars ride softly, but some Lexus models seem to have this duvet kind of feel on the road… often without the aid of air suspension.
Tested: 2023 Mercedes EQB 350

Tested: 2023 Volvo XC60 B5
(starting from R957 900)
Volvo’s XC60 was crowned World Car of the Year in 2018 and, still today, for me it’s one of the most complete cars on the road. Volvo has perfected the automobile with its XC60, and let me explain why.
Tested: Volvo XC40 B3
When the Volvo XC40 was first released, many car makers and enthusiasts praised its uniquely beautiful shape, which defined equilibrium at every corner; inside out. It is still very much the case, today.
Bekendstelling: Volvo EX30
Volvo se EX30 ’n revolusionêre nuwe voertuig: Is dit te goed om waar te wees?
Launched: Honda Civic Type-R (FL5)
Dagger 1 to 5, up and ready…!
That is the only vocabulary that came to mind, when my wingman and I headed out of Cape Town from a hangar full of aeroplanes… in a car that felt more like a weapon than anything else with four wheels and a lightened fly-wheel.
Launched: 2023 Hyundai Palisade
A couple of years ago Hyundai launched the Palisade (MY21) for the first time in South Africa where it was generally well received by the media.
