    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.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
