[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] Right at the end of last year I got to drive the Mazda3 100th Anniversary Special Edition hatch. It’s a good looking, all-round competent car, that you simply can’t buy in South Africa. Allow me to explain further. The Mazda Motor Corporation celebrated their 100th Anniversary last year and produced a Special Edition…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] Porsche in the early 1970s had what they thought was a great idea. With the trend of people’s tastes moving more towards luxury, why not replace the 911 with an all-new model?

[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] Charl Bosch Ford Bantam Junior Ranger replacement for the Bantam will seemingly only be offered as a double cab. Spied in bare metal last year after the confirmation of its name via a leaked image of the tailgate, a single snap of Ford’s eagerly awaited Bantam successor, the Maverick, has turned-up overnight showing…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] Happily, it is my turn to make my picks from the many cars on the AutoHunter online auction site driven by ClassicCars.com.

[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] (Editor’s note: During the month of January, the ClassicCars.com Journal presents a series of stories related to and perhaps explaining the recent increase in interest in collecting cars produced by Japan-based automakers.) It may seem to some that collecting Japanese cars is a pretty new part of the hobby, with interest in these cars only…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] The Ares Design S1 is an upcoming supercar built by Ares Design, the company led by former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar. The exotic-looking S1 is based on the C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette, borrowing the chassis, engine, gearbox, and electronic underpinnings from the American mid-engined sports car. Powered by a reworked, naturally aspirated V-8, the…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] It’s one thing to be a social media influencer and carry actual influence in the real world. It’s another thing to be a faux social media influencer who parades around a place like Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California, acting all that despite probably not being anywhere close to even being “that.” It’s…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] The Toyota Supra returned in early 2019 after a 17-year absence. But unlike its predecessor, the fifth-gen Supra is no longer a pure JDM car. Now it shares most underpinnings with the BMW Z4. This is a bit upsetting for purists, but is it really an issue? This drag race between the GR…
