As many “petrolheads” would know, one of the most exciting realms of the motoring world is that of exotics. Thorough-bred sports cars are a good subject on which to spend a weekend afternoon – at least, for those amongst us devoted enough to the boundless thrills of touching, viewing and indeed, driving these beasts. With that in mind, our staffer, known to readers as SLD, spent last Saturday afternoon visiting Cape Town’s exotics dealerships.
The car shown above is the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, and the picture was taken at Bloomsbury. (more…)
The 2007 Gumball Rally kicked off off Sunday 29th April. As promised we have video footage of all the supercars leaving London!

After much burning of midnight oil, Peter Lindenberg, who is well known in KZN for his Formula 1 Powerboat achievements, will be entering a three car privateer team into the challenging world of production car racing in 2007. Their first event will be the production car curtain-raiser to the A1 Grand Prix in Durban this weekend. Named the ‘Hotontar’ team, Lindenberg Racing will be fielding three new spec Subaru WRX Sti’s in class A, challenging the big factory teams as an independent team entry. Medal Paints are the main sponsor of the only lady in the Production Car National Championships, Clare Vale, who is a former Shelby Can Am driver. Racing his magnificently turned out red ‘Scoobie’, Peter (Ferodo / Champion / Ram) will also be joined by former Silver Cup driver Dawie Olivier (Bosal / Ram) in the third driver’s seat.
Perry Chetty, Medal Paint’s Marketing & Sales Director, who lives in Westville, joins Bosal, Ferodo, Ram, Subaru and Champion Spark Plugs and the major backers to the team.
Lindenberg Racing have always done things their own way and the Hotontar team is no exception; the cars’ eye-catching liveries have a very different look, and the unique pit setups which will allow spectators far more interaction with the team will bring some welcome changes to the production car series.
