ZA Car

ZA Car Show, brought to you buy BMW. Ep161 sees a short burst of news: we pay respects to Carroll Shelby, and celebrate Williams’ F1 victory. Also featured: Jaguar’s 60th anniversary of the disc brake, MINI’s GP, the BMW 3-series touring, and the BMW M135i.

The team talk about the production of the Toyobaru BRZ86, Tracker’s social network for recovering cars, F1, Le Mans, the local 3-series launch, Hyundai’s COTY winner, and finally review the revvy and loveable Abarth 500.

Tom Falkiner joins the team this week to talk about driving the McLaren MP4-12C at the Top Gear track. Then they discuss new models to be unveiled at Geneva, including the Evoque convertible, Ferrari 620, Citroën DS4 racing and more.

Jim McFarlane from XS Promotions joins the team to talk about drifting and extreme motorsports in South Africa. Also in the news: a Jeep with a Ferrari affiliation, a very fast BMW, a trifecta of Chevrolets and a Ford that’s not a cougar.

Fern and Flippie are having fun in the snow, this time it’s with a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 that was developed in their honour. Whether it’s a subtle hint to stay out of the gravel or that they’re getting a little chunky for F1 drivers, we’ll not know, but the details are in here.
