We give the Mahindra Scorpio N 2.2 diesel a full review on tar and gravel, to find out if it can cut the mustard against the big boys in the highly competitive seven seater SUV market. From the smooth highways of Cape Town, to the rough gravel of Swellendam, Frog Mountain and beyond. Can it compete with the more expensive Ford Everest and Toyota Fortuner. Don't forget about the Chery Tiggo 8 Pr...
City of Cape Town wasting plastic unnecessarily
Переглядів 68Місяць тому
Noticed the people from the City of Cape Town Municipality who pick up leaves use a lot of unnecessary plastic. First the bags are only filled half way, and the material does not look biodegradable at first sight. Sure there is a greener way to pickup leaves. Perhaps fill them up into a wheelie bin as they go, and have a truck on standby to pickup, much like waste management does. #cityofcapeto...

Shots fired! Driving thru most dangerous suburb in Cape Town
good team but I'd change & put: 5. Victor Matfield 6. Schalk Burger 7. Richie McCaw 8. Sergio Parisse/Kerian Read 9. Aaron Smith 13. Brian O'Driscoll 14. Cheslin Kolbe 15. Beauden Barrett 16. Bismarck du Plessis 17. Beast Mtawarira 18. Taniela Tupou 19. Maro Itoje 20. Joost van der Westhuizen 21. Jonny Wilkinson 22. Sonny Bill Williams 23. Ben Smith
Cool, Ben Smith is hardly world class. Itoje is not big enough for lock at the highest level, better suited to 7 where there are better players. No true speed on the bench. Sonny Bill never really performed for ABs in big games. Best rugby was in League.
Yes true , some living state is not so good at all 😢
indeed.
When was this event
many years ago.
Petrol or diesel? It's no good saying how good the engine is without telling us what it is?
2.5 petrol
Where did you get the kit?
place in salt river/woodstock area, can't remember the name exactly. Best cheap option is 30mm spacers all round i reckon. Can get them made up. or order on Ebay. Pedders do a 1.5 inch full suspension lift, more pricey.
I need to see races
me too
I hope to see you testing the Brandt BRV soon
That would be ideal, must see if they have test cars down here.
What is the classical piece at time stamp: 5:18min?
Mozart N0.38 d minor.
bro!you missed out the Xakabantu!
Never heard of it, reading up it's closeby.
@@Africasideways ..at the last street called Fredericks street there in Vrygrond,there is a passage that leads straight to the area! moja!
Lekker review chum, I see you have better roads than the uk there! 😂👍
Thanks, Ja some lekker ones.
l stay there it's dangerous as hell, no development what so ever. Anyway thanks for showing the world the other side of Cape Town 😇
Blessings.
Very good footage. What dashcam is so stable when you drive? Product details? Thank You
Thanks. Gopro 3 on a suction mount, need to get a dashcam.
@@Africasideways Thank You very much - great video and commentary.
@@skylerxiomara Pleasure.
Enjoyed your review... refreshing approach. Gettiing one tomorrow ... lets see how this plays out.
Thanks, Good luck.
The DA was still busy fixing this area, for the past few elections.
indeed.
You are mad to drive in between those flats geezus my heart was pounding for your sake
Indeed, not a smart move.
Hello Sir!I am SEO specialist. Your video quality is very good.But for some problems you are not getting more views.If you want I can fixed this problems.
thanks for the offer, your video channel has 2 views so I'll pass. All the best.
I might ask a random question. Are you familiar with the batteries used in Centurion D5 Evo Automatic Gate Systems? In the manual for this product, it says that you should never use a household car charger to recharge their 12 volt batteries. Do you have any idea why they would insist on that? The staff at my battery retailer says there should be no problem at all with using a car charger to recharge those batteries.
no idea, you'd need to direct that question to Chris at Battery Centre Plumstead.
There are too many sides of this side of Cape Town I live in one of them
Indeed, not on any travel channel.
Was delivering steal there a few years ago and about 10 laaities tried to rob me.very sad to see that children see what their parents do and try to do the same.
Sad indeed, the role models from TV are also lacking at times.
Would you still recommend this in today's market?
Yes, still a good buy.
@@Africasideways thanks for this video and your recommendation Big 6.
A good vehicle and miles of gravel road - good times. And that pont was a treat :-)
Indeed R1, if that does make you a little homesick nothing will.
They've come a long way. Looking good, Big Six :-)
Indeed R1, Old skool all day.
You couldn't sound any more boring if you tried. Your reports are unbelievably boring!
thanks for watching, have a blessed day.
Do you have any information on Gripmax Inception tires. Great and informative video, proudly South African continent ❤
Not yet, I'll keep an eye out. thanks.
Hey it’s Rayden stain wife brothers kid
Nice
Please do a full review of the ingane
With pleasure if they provide samples.
50% Malawian, what ever happened to the borders? And also thank you for showing people another side of Cape Town.
pleasure, the borders are large and the traffic is strong.
What do you think about the new J70 series?
The auto gearbox is a game changer.
@@Africasideways Thanks for the quick reply. What do you think compared to the LC in your video about the new one in terms of durability and reliability, is there any information there yet?
@@andriandri4115 Too soon to say, the new engine 2.8 and gearbox are the biggest changes. Besides initials dps problems in hilux years ago, seems a solid package.
@@Africasideways thank you sir for the honest answer.
Pleasure;
Impressive things, but definitely not for anyone wanting to travel light ;-)
Ja, the bush trailer would be easiest to tow.
Lekker drive, that 🙂
Proper
That's a proper contender.
Sure is
Where did you buy your Xtrail T31 seems 6 speed manual petrol are very rare. Can't find one.
At a dealer 9 years ago, not rare in my experience, just keep on lookin.
Bro drink some coffee or an energy drink. Your commentary is paint drying
it is what it is bro. thanks for watching the paint dry.
A Decent set of All Terrains will finish it off nicely👌🏁plenty of Grunt
Indeed
Good Move ❤
Thanks.
"Thanks For SHARING.I Always 'RELY' On TOUR GUIDES/OPERATORS Who Know The AREAS Very Well & Will Always Organise SECURITY/ESCORTS For ONE'S Peace OF Mind"
Very true.
@@Africasideways "@Grateful & 'Keep 'Sharing These Places Of Interest'"
I want to buy a 2024 model, premium
Ok
Do you recommend this car
Drives great but don't how well reliability will be in 10 years like a Rav4. If you planning to only keep for 3 years it's fine, also look into resale value.
Nice vid and true perspective.alotta good hardworking people living there that just wanna make a living.
So true.
Great video yet not an American engine on the Rolls - purely British. This is a common misconception- Rolls Royce only studied tappet design on some American V8s, and so acquired tools from Chicago to design these in house. Otherwise, the engine is just about as British as tea and crumpets!
Thanks for the info!
Nice bakkie from Pretoria
Free state
Is your xtrail 4x4 or 4x2
4x4
Thanks for taking me visually back to the area. I used to work at Wild Coast Sun, 40 years ago it was still a homeland then. The area hasn't changed much and would love to visit it again. Also have a 2012 Nissan x-trail. Greetings from Australia
Only a pleasure, glad to hear not much changed, enjoy the sexy xey. It's a car that grows on you by the year.
Please show me angel sons

Can the pro shocks and coil overs be rebuilt in Namibia or Angola? I’ve purchased another brands high end bypass shock, only to discover that when I needed to rebuild it, I had to travel all the way to Joburg or ship them, and pay VAT through each country for a shock I already own. Not to mention I’d be without a vehicle for 4 weeks or more. If these can be rebuilt by ordering the parts and done by a shop in Windhoek, I’d be keen on putting them on my VDJ79, and then maybe even my 200, replacing the other bypass shocks and the tools needed to change compression and rebound.
depends on the load you are carrying. Leaf springs still great for heavy loads at the back, less sagging. Depends on budget, keep it as simple as possible.
A girl I know drives a Steed 5 and is very happy, it is a serious long term option, girl and bakkie😁
Thanks for the info.
Bro are you crazy you cant drive an unknown car here in gang land theres some roads in cape town where you must even flash to enter or you get shot they think you and undercover and driving in circles all the time
Indeed, one and done on this type of stuff. Thanks for info.
The guy who done a million KM's stays in Oudtshoorn. The bakkies name is "roadrunner" it does courier for the "Wieldokter" workshop in St Saviour Street❤
Strong bakkie indeed.
Awesome video dude!! I always enjoy your reviews!
Thanks boet.
Hey man!! How about a more current vid? Your reviews are the best!!
Ja overdue a tyre update.
