Four Tips For When You Have To Drive In Fog

Mist is somehow romantic, evocative, a hazy enveloping thing that harks of fireplaces and confectionery. Fog is not. It’s dense, damp, sounds like a swearword and very bad to drive in. The best way to drive in fog is to not. But sometimes you have to, so here are a few tips.

A Step-by-Step Guide On Car Manufacturing

Car manufacturing has come a long way since the early days with Henry Ford laying the foundation for assembly lines and supply chain management. However, vehicle design and the materials used today have become far more intricate and as technology develops and industry demand changes. Not all car manufacturing plants operate in the same way but the process does involve similar steps from concept and design to production and launch. This can take anywhere from two to five years as the manufacturer must make sure the car is in excellent condition for public use.

Everything You Need To Know About Buying Used Cars

According to the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers South Africa (NAAMSA), more people have been buying used cars in South Africa over the last few years. It’s not surprising especially if you consider the continuously increasing prices of new cars. With more consumers buying used cars, we wanted to share our expertise on what to look out for and how to apply for vehicle finance. What To Look Out For When Buying Used Cars While pre-owned vehicles are cheaper, the price should not be the only deciding factor as some could have undisclosed mechanical issues or body damage. There are several pitfalls to buying used cars but this guide will help you make a more informed decision and avoid being duped by chancers.

The Coolest Part Of Your Car – The Aircon

In the olden days, real men had mahogany tanned right arms, because they used to drive with their elbows sticking out of the open window (to show off their biceps). Actually, the window was open to cool the car down. Most cars did not have aircon – in fact, road trips during summer were often done at night to avoid the heat. Even though air conditioners for cars go as far back as the ‘30s, they were rare for the next fifty years, found only in luxury cars. With time, the cost of aircon came down and by the ‘90s most cars had them. There are very few cars now without.
