A routine visit for alignment yesterday led to me having to put two new tyres on my one car. Having mismatched brands front/back bothers me more than I thought 🥴 How do those with random second hand tyres on all four corners life a life of happiness?

I wish more drivers understood this and didn't treat it as a leisurely cruise onto the highway at 60km/h

And that's why finance houses insist on insurance as a condition before keys are handed over 🙈

I feel this doesn't get the recognition it truly deserves.

HotWheels are the gateway drug for many aspiring car collectors. Do you have a collection of your own?

Three of the five @audisport R8 LMS GT3 cars racing in the @Kyalami_Circuit 9-hour on 2-4 Dec, will be specially dressed in Africa-inspired livery, which is actually quite cool 🦁🦒

This is surprisingly not the most inconvenient way to fill up your car. I suspect SA's blatant disregard for parking spaces might make it more challenging on busy days, but plug in, go for a shop and come out to 45% more power. This IS the future. #ipace #ev #petrolisdying

Some press shots are 👌 like this one from @audisport of the RS Q e-tron testing for the Dakar in Morocco 🔥.
