    Why is ESP not standard on cars with ABS+EBD?

    I have been wondering about this foe a while now. Essentially a car that has ABS with EBD should be able to offer ESP without the need for additional hardware. In effect it is only a software feature then? Think of it this way, the car already has sensors that monitor the traction and speed...

    Forced to sign Restraint of Trade agreement in notice period

    So this is the deal: Of the 8 people in my team there are 6 of us that quit this week. We are now on a 60 day notice period. The reason for this is because of an imminent relocation of the company. All of us wrote to management the same day the move was announced (early October) stating that...

    Got a Vertex4 64GB, will it be faster than my Agility3 60GB

    So clever me bought a 64GB Vertex4 without checking the performance figures on the website first. I have seen a Vertex4 128GB and 256GB in action and I was blown away by their performance. Therefore I decided to get one of my own as an upgrade to the Agility3 that I currently have. After...

    Surely this tyre can't be legal?

    Saw this in the parking lot at work, on a Mini Cooper belonging to our BA. Apparently she know her car needs new tyres but "its too expensive".

    Why does petrol in Venezuela cost R0.42 per liter?

    Saw this little bit of useless info on a recent episode of Fifth Gear and with looming fuel price hikes I wonder why they pay so little for fuel...

    Why do cheap DFP monitors only have VGA ?

    So this is something that has been bothering me since LCD monitors first came out. Why do cheap DFP monitors only have a VGA connection when it requires more circuitry as opposed to a DVI/HDMI connection? Effectively when running a DFP over VGA you end up with the graphics chip in your...

    Ford recalling thousands of Figos

    This does not sound that serious but still, never a nice thing when you need to recall a product. http://afrikaans.news24.com/Motors/Nuus/Duisende-Ford-Figos-in-SA-herroep-20120814 Seem it has something to do with a part on both the hatch and sedan versions of this Indian built Ford.

    Name cars that stole the Mercedes E-Class headlight design

    The W210 E-class had a pretty bold design for the time when it was released. The 4 headlights were met with mixed reaction from the motoring public. Being somewhat controversial does however mean you will have copy cats that try to imitate or pull off some of the striking design features. So...

    Name cars that stole the Citroen DS headlight design

    Car enthusiast often agree that the Citroen DS was way ahead of its time, and this is very clear when you look at the design and keep in mind it originated in the 1950s. Being that iconic does however mean you will have copy cats that try to imitate or pull off some of the striking design...

    Why do people drive with their seatsbelts behind their seats?

    I have seen this in a few cars, mostly when they are parked. The seatbelt is stretched around the back of the seat and clipped in at all times it seem. Makes no sense to me at all :confused:

    Coil packs - they do they fail on newer cars?

    Coil packs - why do they fail on newish cars? I have heard of a few new cars that had coil pack failures while still under warranty. My car just ticked over to 32000km and the coil pack is dodged up, under full throttle acceleration is not smooth especially in lower gears like when pulling...

    I am thinking of replacing my HP DC7800 SFF, used for XBMC, with an ITX form factor PC. I'm going for a MSI board with AMD E350 CPU, seems pretty nice and up to the job for media PCs. I just cannot understand why ITX cases are so expensive?! Is there somewhere that I can get a good deal on a...

    Traffic Department : We have a virus that is why there is only one teller open

    So I decided that the best time to go and relieve myself of R750 (two car registrations) at the traffic department is 9:45 in the morning. The old yellow paper (used to be white) that says the debit/credit card machines are "temporary" off-line did not bother me, they have never been on-line...

    What is wrong at Cape Mail?

    Seems like SAPO/Cape Mail is hiring a bunch of idiots lately because I had two parcel sent to me last week and both of them were first sent back to the post office they were sent from before it was sent to me. What are those morons doing? Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Parcel 1...

    Why no DSTV streaming / VOD options?

    I was wondering why don't DSTV give us the option to watch over the internet? 3mbps is enough for 720p HD content and I would gladly pay a month subscription to stream a couple of channels or buy minutes to watch anything I like.

    Hard drive supply shortage and price hikes = hoax

    Every since the whole Thailand flood issue hard drive prices have gone up and is some cases you now pay more than double what you paid for a few months ago. I am aware that some of the production facilities have been flooded but can the impact really be that big? I mean, it must be massive...

    Vodacom Customer Care via Email is useless !!

    No - this is very bad service. You can go look up my MSISDN if you want all that info, and you can verify and see that my bill is sent to this very same email address. If you really value me as customer you would not doubt that I who I claim to be. Besides, all I wanted to know is how much I...
