    Guest Post: ‘My Classic Car’ – Must-Watch for Vintage Auto Lovers

    My love for automobiles has increased tenfold ever since I subscribed to DIRECTV through Directstartv.com. Nascar HotPass is awesome, but I have really enjoyed watching the Speed Channel –
    most notably My Classic Car.

    My Classic Car is a great show for vintage car collectors, or really anyone fascinated by antique cars.
    Hosted by the enthusiastic, handlebar-mustached Dennis Gage, the 30-minute show showcases various classic automobiles shows and collections around the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

    The show often features celebrities and high-profile collectors. One episode I recently watched featured
    late night talk show host Jay Leno, who apparently has quite the affinity for classic cars. Leno owns a
    Tatra T87 and Lamborghini Miura, both of which he and Dennis get to take a spin in.


    The key to any great show is the host, and Dennis Gage is as good a host as there is. Standing 5-foot-
    10 and weighing no more than 150 pounds, you probably wouldn’t expect Gage to be the star of a
    television show. His white handle bar mustache, which he describes as a leftover remnant from a ZZ
    Top beard he donned back in his college years, makes him look more like a bare knuckle boxer than an
    antique car lover. Additionally, his scholastic credentials are more suited for a career in astrophysics
    than television; He has a Ph.D. in chemistry and helped create several popular products, including
    Pringles potato chips and Boost energy drink. Nonetheless, Gage has been the center of vintage auto
    universe since he became the host of My Classic Car more than 15 years ago. He ends each show
    with the catchphrase “Honor the timeless classics,” which has become as enduring as the cars he has
    dedicated his life to.

    If you enjoy the allure of vintage automobiles, make sure you tune in to My Classic Car on the Speed
    Channel when you get a chance. There’s a new episode every week.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
