ZA Car

Christo takes a time out from all the performance car hooning, and decides to have a go in a different kind of white rhino.

The fast cars are always the best ones, right? Not in this case, long-term ownership is a reality and our family man and diesel car-lover Trevor van de Ven thinks that he might just be able to live with this one.

A mixed bag, the veritable fruit salad of car news and reviews. Episode 139 gives you some opinion, actually loads of opinion, behind the MINI Roadster, Nissan Juke, Renault Megane CC, Mazda 5, Chevrolet Sonic and Ford Ranger. Go on have a listen.

A bumper show featuring Thomas Falkiner from The Times takes you back to the future with the DeLorean EV, BMW’s new 1-series and M5 straight from the launch in Spain. We also juke, er, joke about a Nissan and review the Volvo V/S60 T6 R-design, the preferred choice of vampires all over the world. Go on, have a listen.

What’s more gentlemanly than a game a game of cricket? Well the 250km/h speed limit on German cars and long forgotten commitment to limit horsepower to 280bhp in Japan, both of which are long forgotten by Lexus with its IS-F which we review. We also discuss BMW’s new 3-Series, Toyota’s Hybrid Lemans quest and move into the Twilight zone with the review of Volvo’s C30.
