In some way, modern cars have lost a bit of the attractive elements that classic cars have. Clinton has been a British car enthusiast from his childhood, and will go as far as to say that he is a specialist in classic car oil leaks. He has built and run a flourish business grounded on mutual love for classic cars, with preference for the British of course. We speak about what makes them so desirable, and how the classic car market will survive in future years.

I first have to apologise for the extreme bias towards Porsche in this episode, but since I am shooting with Lourens Bester, the Porsche club Cape Town President, I feel it is fitting. We have a conversation regarding his career, but the majority of the podcast is about the inner workings of an official car club, the type of petrol heads within them, and the various legendary Porsche's of the past years.
Here is what we spoke about:
00:00 Introduction
01:00 Lourens' history with cars
10:39 Porsche club - then and now
23:17 How the Cayenne and Macan saved Porsche
29:06 Popular vs non-popular Porsches
50:30 Lourens' dream 3 car garage

The second iteration of a very fun and light-hearted series. In this conversation with a car idiot, we have Ruan Lubbe… a non-car guy. We ask him some questions, try to answer the questions for him and generally just try to find out what his views on cars are, as a normal (non petrolhead) person. Believe me, it’s funnier than you think.

It seems like there is a trend with Martin’s friends. The common denominator: They all like Porsches. In episode 3 of this (slower) season, Willis Marais hits the mic again as the conversation leads to a long chat about sportscars – from the pinnacle (GT3) to the simpler ones (Elise). We also have an electric chat regarding Polestar, the electric Volvo offspring, and the common themes we see with new electric cars popping out everywhere.

Ian Mclaren has been a car journalist for longer than I’ve been alive. What a honour to have the opportunity to pick his brain about today’s cars! We enjoyed some conversation regarding his career, the best test drives, where South Africa is going with electric cars, and also had some opinions on some modern day rides and if people are actually skilled enough to drive supercars.

Your first car is one of the most important decisions and memorable moments in your life. It’s your ticket to freedom; to independence. But what did that decision look like in the 1980’s? In this episode, I explore the best of the bunch in the 1980’s – the choices that kept parents, students and young adults up at night.
Firstly, I have to apologise for the compromises in quality in the sound and video. A few things went wrong on the day of filming, but we still had so much fun! Brent is a real car guy. He races in the GTI challenge, writes for Cars.co.za and just has such a passion for cars and the people around him. We explore his past and passion, racing in South Africa and car culture in general.

“Ferrarista” is probably one of the words best describing Carlo Viglietti. A man that has been in and around Ferrari’s his whole life - working on them, selling them and driving them.

We speak about carburetors, going around corners without traction control, and also what is wrong with Lamborghinis (obviously).

COVID brought about many crazy ideas. For Johan, he decided to ordain the Porsche 996-generation 911 the “next classic 911” and make road-going, all-purpose safari Porsche’s out of them. Pretty wild!

A name that doesn’t need introducing in the South African racing scene, and a name you would have heard a lot about over the past weekend at Simola Hillclimb, racing with his B19 Chevron and heavily-modified GTR called “Sheriff”. His family is well-known in the mining industry, but also for their racing, with Franco being part of a family of racers.
