    You Must Always Check These 6 Things Before Embarking On A Car Trip

    Long drives and trips to other areas in one’s own car can be quite relaxing and soothing. Away from the rut of the daily life, travelling really calms one’s minds and puts it in a much better situation. However one of the worst things to happen during a car trip is probably if the car breaks down. Hence, it is of great importance that we take all precautionary steps to make sure that the car is in the optimal conditions, perform the necessary checks so we have an enjoyable and safe experience.

    Following are some of the most important things that I think you must keep in mind before embarking on a long trip:

    1) Check Your Battery
    The battery is one of the most important components of the car. And unless you want to continuously jumpstart your car, it is really essential that your battery is in a tip top state. You need to make sure that the terminals are clean. If they are not, a simple mixture of baking soda and water can help clean them up.

    2) Lights
    Checking your lights is basic common sense, but sometimes people forget to do that in a hurry. Lights are crucial for your safety especially if you are travelling at night or night befalls you during travel, and also if you don’t want to get a ticket. Check each of your lights at low and high beam and confirm whether or not they are working.

    3) Inspect your tires.
    You literally rely on your tires for travelling. It is important to check your tires thoroughly before starting a trip. You should check the tires for bulges and tears, as well as inspect if  they have enough treads and are not completely worn out. As well as check the pressure of the air in the tires. In case, any problem appears it is very necessary to make the arrangements to fix or replace them.

    4) Engine Oil

    You need to make sure that the Engine Oil is properly filled. Slowly fill it up if it is not upto the level, because without it, your engine may overheat. If you need to buy new engine oil or replace old parts, I personally recommend buying from  www.autodoc.co.no

    5) Navigation

    This goes without saying, but I’ll still mention it. You really need to know where you are going and know the directions and the path. You could either know it from memory, or you could use an old-school map, or perhaps the most common nowadays GPS Nagivation System. Whatever it is, make sure it works and that you have successfully used it in the past.

    6) Misc. Preparations
    This check is especially important if you have kids. You need to have the proper snacks and food while on your way to your destination. Perhaps you could keep some audiobooks, CDs, etc. to occupy you on the way there. Be sure to carry all the essential documents you need to travel.

    Apart from them all, drive safely. That really is the best advice to follow upon. These all preparations and checks will allow your car to run in a smooth manner, but ultimately it is up to you to drive in a safe and responsible manner.

    • 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.
