    4 Creative Ways to Hit the Open Road This Summer

    There’s the usual way of hitting the open road: packing up a few essentials and taking the local highway to a set destination. But for many vehicle enthusiasts, this approach is a tad too humdrum. You’ve seen your local highway a thousand times before. 

    If you’re looking for a more creative way to hit the open road this summer, you’ve arrived at the right place. In this post, let’s look at four unexpected ways to feel the wind in your hair. 

    Grab an ATV and Hit the Nature Trails

    Who says roads have to be paved? Summer is the perfect time to think beyond the shoulder lane, and gear up for an ATV ride through the stunning backcountry. ATV riding mixes the control and freedom of driving with the thrills and exercise of an extreme sport – perfect for a sunny day in August. 

    If you don’t have an ATV, consider renting or buying one from your local ATV dealer. If you’re already the proud owner of an off-road vehicle, check out ATV accessories for sale to gear up for your grand adventure. You’ll need the usual suspects: a helmet, winch, towing safety cables, first aid kit, goggles and gloves. 

    Try a Themed Road Trip 

    Shake up the typical road trip by adding a theme. Are you passionate about regional American hamburgers? Craft an itinerary that hits historic burger spots across the eastern seaboard. Do you love baseball? Devise a road trip where you visit the oldest ball fields in North America: Boston, Chicago and LA. 

    Theme road trips can be an expression of whatever you’re into. They’re easy to plan and more meaningful than the average road trip. 

    Do a “Test Drive Crawl”

    Depending on who you ask, this idea might be founded on shaky ethical grounds. If you asked a car salesperson, they would probably dissuade you from test driving with no intention of buying. On the other hand, ask any car lover, and they’ll probably tell you to go for it. 

    If you count yourself in the latter camp, a “test drive crawl” is an exhilarating, satisfying and completely free way to spend a summer afternoon. Simply go from dealer to dealer, eyeing the car you want to drive, and wait to see if they offer test drives. If all goes well, you can hit the open road in a brand-new vehicle – if only for around 15 minutes. 

    Try a VR Racing Game

    The title does say “creative ways,” and this entry certainly counts as creative. No, virtual reality racing isn’t the same thing – nothing can match the pure adrenaline rush of burning it around a track. However, most people don’t have access to a race car and track; for those people, virtual reality is the next best thing. 

    Check out this list of the best VR racing games for some inspiration, or head to a local arcade to see what they’ve got (most arcades are equipped with VR these days).

    • 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.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more)?
    • 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?
