The Ford Ranger is consistently among the top-selling bakkies in South Africa (every so often it claims the top spot for the month) and, with a model range of more than 25 vehicles, there is certainly something to suit every buyer and application. In but a few months’ time a new series of Ranger will be launched locally, with new models and a new generation of engines. We thought, then, that this would be the perfect opportunity to get reacquainted […]
Peugeot has reimagined its 308 and repositioned it – whittling the range down to one high-value model, the 308 Allure 1,2 THP (with manual or auto gearbox). In a segment dominated by the ever-brilliant Golf and packed full with a host of new competitors, that are more determined than ever to have a piece of the Golf pie, the lone 308 has a tough fight on its hands.

Sneakers and loafers. They both do pretty much the same thing; keeping your feet warm, comfortable and away from harm. However, while fundamentally the same, these two distinct styles of shoe have rather different purposes in life. They may not even appeal to the same wearer… While the sneaker may hold a certain amount of street cred and be the shoe of choice for most daily activities, the loafer – suede, leather or otherwise – will be the more sophisticated […]
