    mechanic Max Polyakov

    Max Polyakov grew up in a family of seven children who were taught the principles of hard work and diligence. His family was not one for lack, with his father being the son of one of the past mayors of the city. However, his’s father, Charles, was not one to take advantage of his privileged status. He worked hard for his coins and did a good job instilling this idea into his young children’s minds. Max Polyakov’s mother too was not very different from her husband. She also worked extremely hard to get to her position as the head of the labour department in one of the largest maternity homes in the area. In fact, in his house, hard work was indeed the order of the day.

    His father, Charles Polyakov was a businessman who specialized in moving vans. His company delivered goods to clients all over France. Their headquarters was at Ambronay, and he helped people to move their goods from place to place.

    Max Polyakov develops an interest in cars
    It was during one of the work trips that Charles Polyakov took his son on, that Max Polyakov discovered his love for car engines. After his father’s truck broke down and he interacted with the mechanic who came to fix the car, He knew that he wanted to be a mechanic.
    His father noticed this passion and fueled it by giving Max Polyakov all that he wanted in order to excel. His father even bought him a toy truck which simulated a real one, and had a field day dismantling it just to see what was really inside a car.

    Max Polyakov becomes a mechanic and names his shop Firefly
    By the time Max Polyakov was eighteen, he enrolled in an engineering school and took a two-year course on Automotive engineering. There he studied under his mentor, who then nicknamed his class of five young aspirants ‘Firefly’. The name Firefly stuck with Max Polyakov. He easily outshone his classmates and took his training a step further by learning under his mentor after the two years were over. He took the time to study and manage his mentor‘s shop. Soon when it was time for him to go out on his own, his mentor gifted him the shop and a mechanic Max Polyakov named it Firefly.

    The Firefly Auto garage grew within a short period of time because he had built enough rapport with the clients of his mentor’s shop. His good work brought more and more people to Firefly. In no time, the Firefly Auto Garage was indeed the most talked about the mechanic shop in town, all thanks to hard work.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • 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?
