    Having your car stolen is one of the most annoying and potentially devastating things to happen to the unaware driver. There’s some simple ways to prevent theft and to make it harder for thieves to find your car and steal it. If you don’t already know these tips then you’re already putting your car at risk: you better go and have a quick check on it right now!

    Put the Car Away
    The number one tip in this cat and mouse game (or car and thief as the case may be), is keeping the car locked in a garage. If you happen to go out in a part of the city where vehicle theft regularly occurs, then put it into a secure parking facility that’s well lit and has CCTV. If this isn’t available, for example if you’re going to friend’s house in a dodgy area; then consider taking public transport there and getting a cab home later. This also means you can drink at the event as well!


    Don’t Leave Valuables in Full View
    If you leave your smart phone or laptop on the passenger seat, this will be tempting to the would-be thief. It’s very easy to either smash and grab your prized possessions, or drive away in your car like it’s a birthday gift: it’s a bit like putting your most valued possessions out on the lawn in front of your house, to show the entire world. Also, don’t duck into shops and leave the keys in the ignition. This is a terrible habit, and an opportunistic shady type could wander by and drive off in your car. This sort of situation will be a nightmare for the insurance claim, too.

    Install a Good Alarm
    Having this kind of visible deterrent present in a car is likely to deter a would-be thief. They are going to go for the car that looks the easiest to steal. If yours has a flashing, visible car alarm system and also a steering wheel lock, then they will naturally move onto the next one. Many new cars have anti-theft devices installed as a standard feature. However, these anti-theft devices can be easily installed on older cars. There are plenty of new cars that have excellent anti-theft features and tick all of the boxes for fuel economy, safety and sleek looks. Remember though that there’s no such thing as a theft proof car, there’s only sensible and aware car owners. For some recommendations and reviews of all the new models, check out

    • 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.
