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.

John, Pat, Trev and Christo talk about local and international news, including the Lamborghini Urus, MINI Hyde Park, facelifted Prius, and Kia Optima. Then there’s a review on the very middling Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Thanks to those that made the ZACS Petrolhead Quiz possible. We discuss some electrically sporty cars — BMW i8 Spyder, Infinity Emerg-e — some ‘small’ cars — MINI Roadster and review the Countryman Cooper S — and give you our impressions on the 2012 Nissan GTR, the country’s most surprising hyper-coupe.

Brown is the new black, isn’t it? We’ll it is in Europe, and while a number of cars struggle to pull brown colours off, this new special edition from MINI, the Convertible Highgate, does so splendidly.

Pat, Trev, and Christo talk about a glut of new BMWs in the news (M5, M X5/X6 M50d), the new Mini Roadster, the 2012 spec change for the Nissan GTR, Toyota at Le Mans, and a review of the Audi A6 3.0T.
