Good things come in threes, and this episode is no exception. With Christo away getting technology updates, the Trevors and Patrick explore the virtues of the Alfa Romeo MiTo MultiAir, Suzuki Vitara V6, Crazy Lamborghini theories and the death of the V6.

...whoa, but look inside. Those crazy Ities know how to bad design descisions look awesome.

Trevor van de Ven was also one of the very few non-celebrities to attend the launch of a Ferrari 458 Italia in South Africa and despite considering a good deed, gets flack from the two opportunists trying to snap up freebies.

ZA Car Show: Episode 81

Things have not been going Italy’s way recently. While the Azzuri in South Africa were out drowning their sorrows after dropping out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Italians had at least one thing to celebrate: Alfa Romeo’s Centenary.

With one soldier down – Trevor Tuck couldn’t join us, thanks to the football loss and Alfa celebration – Christo, Patrick and Trevor (van de Ven) discuss a special edition Ford Focus RS, a European sell-out success and a couple of local models.

Choose your weapon.

The team also debates the cars that made the difference to the motoring world in 1981.

In one of the slowest, emptiest news weeks of the year, a cut-down ZA Car Show crew breezes through a few short snippets before breezing on through to the Isuzu 72-hour Endurance challenge at Gerotek. The result is a pretty short – but fun – show, weighing in at just over 30-minutes.

ZACS is part of Isuzu's attempt to break a 72-hour record...

The team tries hard this week to make sense of hybrids, hydrogen and fuel saving technology. In a world that is changing, is it slowly heralding the death of the petrol engine? One might think just that, but then the Volkswagen Golf TSI comes along; probably one of the most astounding cars to come along this year, but Trevor van de Ven won’t buy it, why?

This June 9th episode of ZA Car Show only has three of the regulars – our dear news reader, Trevor van de Ven, is absent. Apparently he had “real work” to do.
But the show must go on! Included in this solemn and serious episode are the Jaguar XF, BMW M3 Edition, Peugeot 5008. We also talk about the launch of the BMW Z4, which Christo attended, and throw around a bit of conjecture to see why BMW’s newest sports model has gone a bit soft…
