After some time without electricity at the studio and the festive time of the year, ZA Car Show returned for the penultimate episode of 2009. The team is joined by a representative, Carmen Du Preez from Rager, a mobile phone-based traffic management system; Carmen helps shed some light on how this system works and why its important to register.  We also discuss South Africa’s Car of The Year and some new, but pointless models from Mercedes and VW.

Christo has also launched ZA Car Show into the elite digital realm of racing games. Some of the cars he races online, in the recently launched Forza Motorsport 3, bare the ZA Car Show logos. If you play Forza 3 online look out for him.
