There can be few (if any) cars that are more iconic than the E-Type Jaguar. There were several models of this British classic, including both hardtop (‘fixed head’) and open-topped (‘drop-head’) types. The engine power varied too. However, I am going to discuss one model here. It is the …

As a restoration project, the materials I had were unpromising. A body shell (ex MG Owners’ Club) and a decrepit rubber-bumper version of the classic 1960s British MG Roadster open-topped sports car. However, after some comings and goings over details and agreeing a price, I left the garage owner …

If like me you have bought, or are cosidering buying a Landrover Discovery Td5 here are my reasons why you shouldn’t.

I had a truly great experience with Cambridge Auto. The customer service on both the phone and in the office was prompt, courteous, and all-around excellent. Often with auto repair shops it can be a bit scary because I know so little about cars and the workers can be …

Back in 2004, my husband and I were looking for a car. We searched many car lots before coming up on Saturn. My husband had always liked the look of a Saturn and was interested in seeing what they had to offer, so we stopped.
The 2004 Saturn …

I didn’t know much about cars when I received this car for my sixteenth birthday, and I still don’t know that much about it. I’m slowly learning by what my fiance has been telling me. However, I do know what has made this car such a great car for …

While listening to the radio I heard about an advert for Bojaro. They were promoting themselves as Land Rover specialists. I was a bit miffed at Lesedi Motors which is the official representative of Land Rover in Gaborone. For me, Lesedi Motors is not efficient and takes …

Lately, the first start of the day on my Land Rover seemed to be a problem. It would conker and make a funny sound but it always started. The second or the third start did not have this problem at all. It was just the first start of …

My husband and I decided it was time to search for a bigger vehicle. I currently have a sedan and three children. That doesn’t leave much room for any other passengers. I really want something with a third row but that doesn’t cost a fortune. We decided to try …

The best accessory that we ever put in our Land Rover is an Engel fridge. This is a 20 liter fridge which is great for travelling. We just had an extra battery fitted in the car to avoid complete discharge of the main battery.
As we are travelling so …

Its been ages since we saw our vehicle in its shiniest skin.
Though we thought of bringing it to the car wash shop we just felt like giving it a try and do the cleaning ourselves.
Yes, it was really hard and the satisfaction is kinda low since the car …
