    Career Ideas for Car Lovers

    If you love your vehicles, then you’ve probably thought about all the different careers choices that you could take to express your love for motoring. However, you’re probably not going to be the next Jeremy Clarkson and drive expensive vehicles all around the world while having fun—at least not yet! You need to work your way up the ladder if you want a position such as he does, but that’s not the only career choice you have if you want to get involved with cars.

    From writing blogs to creating videos and even working in a garage, there are plenty of ways to use your knowledge of cars to make a living, and here are just a few ideas to whet your appetite and get you started.

    Working in a garage

    Whether it’s becoming a mechanic or owning a repair and modifications shop, you can work on some very interesting cases and even get to tinker with expensive cars should you become a reputable mechanic. This isn’t easy, of course, and you’re going to have to consider hiring employees, renting garages, buying tools and even getting motor trade insurance from a company like One Sure insurance. With so many things to consider, you have to remember that you’re starting a business—not a hobby!

    If you prefer to cut out all of that extra work, then you could always just become a mechanic and work for someone else. It’s tough work, but you get to express your love for vehicles and work on them all day and all night. It’s certainly not for everyone, but for the dedicated grease monkey, it’s a dream come true!

    Start a blog

    Bloggers can earn a very decent living now thanks to the internet. Between sponsorships, affiliate links and advertising revenue, you could make enough money to support your love for cars, pay your rent and bills, and still have enough disposable income left over to buy flashy cars. Of course, it’s slow to start and you won’t get a massive boost of income straight away. You need to operate this much like a business; you need to advertise it on social media and the internet, you need to respond to feedback from readers, and you’ll need to invest money into growing your blog.

    You can also improve your blog by adding video content or podcasts. You can create video content and upload it to YouTube and get more viewers and attention to your actual blog, and you can also monetize your YouTube videos as well.


    Become a journalist

    If you love to look at new cars and research about them, then becoming a journalist could be a great alternative to starting an actual blog. If you’re willing to put in the work and contact publications and improve your writing skills, then getting a job at a motoring publication might be easier than you think. Becoming a journalist is how celebrities such as Jeremy Clarkson got started. He wrote at various publications for a very long time before getting screentime on the BBC on the show Top Gear and getting his major break. Media has changed since then, but it goes to show that even the most popular figureheads have humble beginnings.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
