Namibia's content-driven motoring portal
Jare gelede was daar ‘n volbladadvertensie in die nuustydskrif Time met ‘n foto van ‘n Jeep tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog aan een of ander bloeddorstige gevegsfront. Die enigste byskrif was “Original Sin”. Wat die Jeep met sonde te doen gehad het, weet ek tot vandag toe nog nie. Maar die prentjie van die Jeep in die middel van ‘n harde geveg, sal my altyd bybly.

Johannesburg, South Africa, 15 July 2014 – Travelling thousands of kilometres through some of Namibia’s most challenging terrain is not a test that you take on lightly. But the 2014 General Tyre 4×4 African Adventure did just that and completed the tour of some southern Namibia’s most scenic and remote destinations with a convoy of eight vehicles over 11 days.
Tot onlangs was die Toyota Fortuner by verre die land se mees gewilde 4X4 nutswa waarmee daar op enige pad en plek gery kon word met groot gemak. Dit boonop teen ‘n bekostigbare prys as alles in ag geneem word.
What’s this world coming to? At the risk of sounding like the grumpy sod I’m slowly turning into, back when I was young all Landies were slow, noisy and pretty ugly. I know this because my first car was just such a beast and nothing like my latest review victim, Land Rover’s new Range Rover Sport.
Some of my earliest childhood memories take place on gran’s farm near Dordabis. The smell of furniture polish in the gigantic house, a thriving herb garden out front, the monotonous beat of a Lister engine and a powder blue Toyota Land-Cruiser FJ40 pick-up parked next to the second barn.
It’s not often that I get the chance to compare two vastly differing models in the same range, so I’m grabbing a recent opportunity with both hands to present the top and the basic specification of Land Rover’s Discovery 4 range.
Met die skryf van hierdie artikel oor die nuwe Toyota Prado, is die plaaslik vervaardigde Hilux bakkies op die punt om die stryd in die Dakar tydren in Suid-Amerika aan te sê. Nodeloos om te sê, almal van ons hou duimvas vir die jaers en navigators wat ons in die verlede al soveel keer die kans gegee het om trots te voel!
Iewers tussen my lêers is daar ‘n foto van twee Japannese wat met ‘n Mitsubishi Jeep in die vroeë Sestigs van Japan af na Engeland gery het om ‘n Formule Een Grand Prix vir Japan te propageer.
Are you in the market for a small to medium SUV softroader dad’s taxi crossover MPV? It seems that almost everybody is these days and I certainly don’t envy them with seemingly every manufacturer selling or planning the next best thing since 4×4’s went soft and cars grew legs.
Met die onlangse bekendstelling van sy veeldoelige Duster in die C-SUV segment is Renault SA oortuig dat hierdie nuweling in die Renault stal ook in Namibië en Suid-Afrika die ongekende sukses gaan behaal as wat die geval in Rusland, Indië en Brasilië was.
