As we near our one year anniversary we find that ZACS has matured a little bit. For instance, Trevors, Patrick and Christo go on this week about road safety, roof strength and Bentleys, while garish colours and strange paint jobs seem to dissapoint. Oh my, what has become of these four crazy car nuts? Download the Episode 47 show to find out more.

What a pretty car. This is what good car design is about...

Ooh la la

Seven more episodes to go and the ZA Car Show team will have produced a year’s worth of motoring goodness direct from the shores of South Africa – that place south of Botswana, for Kim Kardashian.

In case you were wondering where the show was last week, we had such a good chat with Des Fenner of General Motors, we decided we could not let you hear it until all the top-secret stuff he mentioned to us has been officially announced. That’s our story anyway. The interview with GM will be broadcast towards the end of August right before it launches the Cruze (oops).

This week our hybrid expert is on leave which saves us from focussing too much on the environment and instead ponder about the stupidness of the evergreen Citi Golf from VW, some green BMWs, a pretty Merc station wagon and some Audi prices. We also go off-roading in a Jeep Wranger Rubicon and Land Rover Defender 110 SVX60.

Firstly, apologies for putting up this episode later than usual. Starting with episode 45 – recording tonight – we will upload and post episodes within 12 hours of recording. The freshest news from SA’s only motoring podcast, just like you’d expect. There’s also a little something in the works for our 1st birthday. Watch this space.

Coming at you this week with the mad flavour of ZACS which is high in auto news insight an opinion and low in Christohydrates. The truth is Christo was swanning about on the Port Elizabeth Riviera, South Africa testing the new VW Passat CC (sorry we’re not allowed to call it a Passat anymore).

The team covers what turned out to be a very busy news week for the motor industry both locally and abroad. Hopefully it’s a sign of good things to come.

The pretty new SAAB 9-5. Trevor van de Ven has a thing for Swedes

The last time Christo tried to say "Sexy Ass" to a Mazda driver he got a blue eye.

Finally after all the bunking by various members of the ZA Car Show crew we have a full house of Patrick, Christo and Trevors. The doom and gloom of the auto industry is…well…gloomy, so we dicided to all but ignore it and talk about happy things instead. Happy things in our books include: auto CEOs who know nothing about cars, Renault being cautioned in China for producing unsafe cars (oh the irony) and a right royal fight between the team over the Datsun Nissan 370Z.

R499 000 will buy you the new Nissan 370Z Manual with rev matching ...but for a bit less you could also get this - MINI Cooper JCW WC

More show notes and a video of the rev matching technology from Nissan after the jump…
