    Natural Running Shoes - are they any good?

    I don't run as much as I used to, back in 2011 I managed to put 800km on a pair of Nike Pegasus 28s and by mid 2012 I already had more than 1200km on a pair of Asics Nimbus 13s. Since then I only did 1000km on Nike Pegasus 29s and the last few times I ran in the 29s I had to stop because my of...

    How much fuel did you save this year?

    I did the maths, out of the 220 times I went to work this year, 140 of them was on my bicycle. Since I stay only 10km from work it would have cost me R5.5k if I were to drive to work every day, thankfully I saved R3.5k. So with high fuel prices getting even higher, budgets getting tighter...

    Most expensive part on your car

    Last week I got a new dash air vent since the old on cracked up after 13 years in the sun. I paid R1k since they had to bring it in from Germany as locally they no longer keep interior bits for my old car. That got me thinking, the car is probably worth R40k and I paid 2.5% of its value for...

    Chevy Sonic RS here in 2014

    Seems Chevy has finally given the Sonic an engine to fits its looks. Straight from the 1.4T Astra you can get a 103kW powerplant in the Sonic with six speed transmission. More : http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/cars/chevrolet/punchy-new-chevy-sonic-rs-for-sa-1.1589030#.UlTvMFBmDzE...

    Rare cars on SA road

    It would be nice to see some pics of cars you don't see often on SA roads. Let me start. Been eyeing this one for a while now, looks pretty sweet even if it is a VW. My guess would be that it's a British import. 3-Door Golf 4

    Go green - keep your car for a decade

    We are in the process of finding a newer car for my wife, she currently has the old Astra which is nearing 220,000km. There is nothing wrong with the car, but our little one is turning 1 soon and we could do something slightly larger. This is when it occurred to me that next year I will have...

    Selling a house, is it better empty or occupied

    My mom-in-law has been trying to sell her house since March. She moved down to Cape Town to be closer to us so the house is empty at the moment. The first estate agent could not sell it within three months. The second estate agent is now trying to sell it at a lower price. The agent's excuse...

    Depeche Mode, Delta Machine - the 13th studio album

    Always been a big mode head, just got my hands on the newest album and it is excellent. Hard to believe these guys are still so good after 33 years. Any other fans that gave it a listen? What do you think?

    Boost blood iron level

    I went to donate blood two weeks ago and they said the iron level of my blood is just under the minimum threshold. It should be 13.5 and I had 13.4 which is strange because normally it is in the 15s. Anyways they said I should comeback in two weeks time which is today. I though I would spike my...

    Can you make a life insurance policy "paid up" or freeze it?

    I got life insurance 6 years ago when I bought a house. My employer at the time did not have adequate cover so that was the main reason for getting my own. The current job I have has got excellent cover for disability and death. Is there a way I can freeze the life insurance I got and if/when...

    Johannesburg to Cape Town in a city car

    This weekend I did the trip in a 2011 Spark LS and was pleasantly surprised at how well such a small car, considered a city car, handles longer journeys. I left Brakenhurst at 6am and was back home in Stellenbosch at 7pm. Best consumption was achieved after I filled up with 95 unleaded (did...

    Warranty question

    Just confirming, in order for your vehicle warranty to stay valid you just need to have it serviced when required at a reputable garage that can prove they did everything required for the given service? It does not have to be a dealership workshop? I think recently on Fifth Gear they actually...

    Which is more healthy : Gym fit or Real fit?

    Had a chat with my one co-worker about what is best for your health in the long run, going to gym everyday and doing body building or getting out there and doing a jog or a ride? Being a runner and cyclist I believe that as long as you don't over do it you are better off without gym...

    I actually saw a Subaru that looks good!

    So after years of boring me with their bland designs and Kombi-like engine noise, I finally saw a Scooby that looks and sounds good. Must have been an import from Japan because I could hardly believe it when I saw it had a Subaru badge on it :
