I play with cars and then get paid to write about them for @AutoTraderSA . Wannabe racer, petrosexual, adventurous cook, and serial entrepreneur...

@ChrisWallMedia @SyllCity Some recreational butt-tweeting there, @ChrisWallMedia?

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

A very nice day at the office with the @Renault_SA Megane RS300, @VolkswagenSA Golf GTI TCR and @MercedesAMG A35 today, shooting for @AutoTraderSA

[Lawrence Minnie @LawrenceMinnie1]

Who is the hottest hatch of them all.... @volkswagensouthafrica @renault_sa @mercedesbenzsa @autotradersa @ Formula K Business Park https://t.co/N8npNBzWnv

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

I used to think that this car would be overkill, but I'm a believer now: it's one of the most accomplished speed monsters I've ever encountered: the @BMW_SA #M8. Get my breathless review only on @AutoTraderSA!

I had a pretty good day at the office yesterday...

[AutoTrader @AutoTraderSA]

The newly-released @MercedesAMG “45” models represent such a leap ahead of their predecessors, that they opened up a gap for new “junior” siblings. Let’s meet AMG’s latest pocket rockets! Check it out here👇 https://t.co/qRz83PJRfi

[AutoTrader @AutoTraderSA]

Welcome to @ZwartkopsRace , where we’re about to sample the latest @MercedesAMG scorchers. Stay tuned for our full report this evening!

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

@DaveTheCarGuy @LeoKokSA You should experience this evolution, Dave. It's like the one you drove way back when, except wilder and faster... as @LeoKokSA mentioned, "feral" - such an apt description!

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

@LeoKokSA Glad you're enjoying the ride, @LeoKokSA! Told ya, it's an addictive non-chemical anti-depressant! 😏

[George Mienie @GeorgeMienie]

@DaveTheCarGuy That's a deal, Dave!

If I ever get to the Cape again...

[Harvest Table Bistro @bistro_harvest]

Nothing to do this weekend? Drive out to Wolseley/Ceres, stop at the various farm and craft stalls, go ziplining or horsebackriding or take the kids to an animal sanctuary. End off your morning with a Sunday meal for only R100! We can even arrange you a bed for a "middagslapie".

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

So this car came as quite a pleasant surprise: the .@HyundaiSA i30 N is indeed a proper hot hatch. But there are some niggles, nonetheless... FInd out more in my review on @AutoTraderSA!

@JezzaMaqasa That's a pity. Although I was barely able to speak, on account of my grin muscles being over-exerted thanks to that thrill ride!

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

From so-so to wow!-wow! ... the @Maserati_HQ Levante Trofeo finally adds the muscle its attitude and appearance have always suggested. Read more about this Italian entertainer in my review on @AutoTraderSA here:

[AutoTrader @AutoTraderSA]

We're spending today with the very exclusive, very powerful Maserati Levante Trofeo. To see why this is one of the most desirable Hyper-SUVs out there, check out our report tonight!

[Martin Pretorius @MartinAutoTradr]

Let's say you have a million bucks (but no more) to spend on a new high-performance car: which way will you send your money? These three all vie for attention in this small playground, but which one is best all-round? Find out here on @AutoTraderSA:
