This week we welcome motoring enthusiast and well known radio DJ Sasha Martinengo to the ZA Car Show. His motoring knowledge is astounding and it occurs to us he has probably driven more exotica than Lolly Jackson.

In the show we also discuss:

• August 2008 NAAMSA figures – the ugly side of car sales in South Africa.
• We take a look at the peculiar figures, high car prices and Sasha tells us about the Audi A4 he’s had on review while we tackle the high cost of options again.
• Porsche sold 28 cars in August; only four 911s.
• Sasha’s son wants a Fiat Strada bakkie and his daughter wants a Lamborghini, the conversation degenerates from there.
• We talk about the passion in Italian cars and young drivers who drive insanely fast cars
• The Chrysler SRT8.
• BMW are stopping production of big engines in favour of four pots.
• We offer new model advice to Ford and slam their choice of the F250.
• Chrysler/Dodge announce PT Cruiser replacement, the Dodge Journey and new Chrysler Voyager – a little de-ja-vu.
• We talk ‘flappy-paddle’ gearboxes with Sasha, the man that has had far more experience with them than any of us.
• Sasha’s best motoring moments and mishaps. Did you know he’s driven F1 cars and owned a BMW C1?
• Suzuki launch new models in SA; the Jimny and Grand Vitara.
