Wow we’re already at Episode 48. The South African Guild of Motoring Journalists (SAGMJ) bursar, Richard Macaskill joins us this week to see another side of motoring journalism. He even brought with some of his own news and insights. We are without Tuck this week, while he struggles to get his race car ready.
