    Recommend me a compact SUV - Budget under R180K

    For years Ive been very anti French cars. I always feared they were unreliable and expensive to repair. A while back I needed to replace my aging high mileage 2007 Nissan XTrail and the only medium sized SUV that fitted my budget was the Renault Duster. After a lot of internal turmoil and...

    Do you own a 3D printer?

    Yup, as a few have said Eskom is making it difficult to print at the moment but usually its running around 5 days a week.

    What type of Cycad is this?

    As far as I knows its Sago Palm. Not indigenous to SA but from Japan so no need for a license. Anyone know what they are worth. I have a massive one in my garden, almost 2m tall and just as wide.

    Anyone still making non smart tvs?

    I guess not. Im just curious because most people I know (myself included) would rather use a separate streaming box that can be cheaply replaced in the future when the OS becomes out dated.

    Anyone still making non smart tvs?

    Is there anyone still making normal tvs? I'm looking for something in the 50" to 55" range but they all seem to be smart tvs. Only non smart ones I can find are cheap 32" models.

    Which small suv to buy?

    I drive an older model Duster and absolutely love it. Mines is a manual so cant comment on the auto model. What I can tell you is I recently drove a VW T-Cross as a rental and the 2 are completely different. The T-Cross is essentially a Polo with raised suspension. I wouldn't call it a SUV. The...

    Share a thought, memory or experience that brought you joy today

    The other morning I went into the kitchen while my wife was preparing school lunches for the kids and overheard my son telling her that Saturn was his favorite planet. I leaned over to my wife and whispered to her that my favorite planet was Uranus. The naughty smile and little giggle she gave...

    Looking at the number plates in the pics its actually called the BJ80, not B80. Hmmm, wonder why they dropped the J from the name.:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

    choosing a car

    If fuel consumption is a concern its hard to beat the duster. Ive got one of the early 4wd ones with all terrain tyres and I typically get around 12km/l in town and 14 to 15km/l on the open road. The 2wd should be quite a bit better.

    Piemans Pie

    I have to admit, Im a bit of a pie snob and here in PE we are blessed with some of the best, Nanaga, Shamrock, Jaymore (not sure if they are still around) and the best of the best Continental Butchery but sometimes I get a urge for a garage pie and nothing can beat it.

    Gazebo

    When it comes 2 Gazebos you essentially get 2 types. 1 - Cheap, lightweight and easy to put up but not that durable and cant be used in anything more than a light breeze. 2 - Expensive, heavy, takes longer to put up but will survive the wind and last a lifetime. I went for option 2 from a...

    brezza or Duster

    I have a duster and its excellent for what it is. Very underrated cars. I dont really think you can compare the 2. I would say the duster is an actual SUV, although a small one where the Brezza appears to be a smallish hatchback with bigger wheels and taller suspension. I suspect the boot space...
