I've just returned from Malaga, Spain where I got to grips with Neue Klasse, BMW 's bold new direction from the aesthetics and ergonomics to the electrified underpinnings of it all. I can't share my driving impressions just yet, nor what else I saw 😱 (so watch this space).

youtu.be/QO9GWeetonI Just a quick chat about the original VolkswagenSA Polo from my recent trip to Munich. Here I got to sample the loveable scamp on some rural roads around town. There's much to love here, and a reminder to never lose the connection between car and driver.

I recently got to chat to Johan Kristoffersson, seven-time WRX Champion, and most recently a notable entrant at the 2025 Simola Hillclimb. He also got to spend some time in South Africa filming a VW Polo commercial to rival Ken Block's gymkhana videos youtube.com/watch?v=uPUO_j…

Like sands in an hourglass... these are how many Chinese car brands got released in South Africa this year.

I haven't been able to lay on my left shoulder in two months. (I'm not ok).

This video is two things. Bloody mental. And bloody impressive. youtube.com/watch?v=eIAQLY… GAC even weaves in a couple of homages to some car-culture darlings, but I'll say no more.

otherpeoplescars.co.za/driven-audi-a5… The audisouthafrica A5 Sedan Black Edition in white with dramatic black contrasts. Sharp as a tailored suit, very much a modern Audi. Which is to say: cool, precise, and about as dramatic as a well-produced German thriller — engaging, but never unhinged.

If it costs the same amount of money to produce an ugly car as it does a good looking one, why do we still get ugly cars?

2025. Didn't die. 💪🏼

youtu.be/tOpYQHaK9Ac BMW South Africa BMW pressed reset — and the iX3 is the first true taste of Neue Klasse. 345kW, 805km of range, rapid charging and something rare in fast SUVs: real driver feel. Driven at Ascari, Spain. ⚡ Neue Klasse begins. #BMW #iX3 #NeueKlasse

A month with the Ford South Africa Tourneo Custom Sport during the holidays proved one thing: space and simplicity matter. 8 seats, huge versatility, surprising fuel economy, and zero stress. Not flashy. Just very, very good at family life. youtu.be/4gJY2RY8PYo?si…

Nissan SA sells its Roslyn manufacturing plant to Chery. This is a watershed moment for the South African car industry, good or bad.

I'm a magazine guy. I started my first magazine in 2002 and since then edited three more. This month I have a feature story in Top Gear, Men's Health and Car mag. And it's still so rewarding.

otherpeoplescars.co.za/driven-jaecoo-… Kelly says ‘looking expensive is no longer reserved for expensive cars.’ The Jaecoo J5 is a prime example of this.

otherpeoplescars.co.za/driven-toyota-… The @ToyotaSA Corolla Cross might currently be in the news for safety concerns, this dricing impression from Kelly focused on the sheer live-with-ability of the hybrid model.

youtu.be/t5kAsrF_YTo The BMW R12 GS just landed in my garage and this isn’t a review. It’s a love letter to two wheels. From scooters in Vietnam to brain surgery, broken bones and a long road back, riding has always meant freedom to me. After 5 months off the saddle, I’m back

Here's just a quick driving impression, barely a taste really - merely some thoughts on the new Volkswagen Golf GTI 8.5 which I got to pilot for a short stretch outside SA Camp Fest 2026 at Bela Bela. youtu.be/qniv-o2mEbg
