Restaurant review: Rambling Vines - Mount Grace country house and spa, Magaliesburg

 

Written by Angus McEwan

The Magaliesburg is a region rich in natural beauty and history, and it delivers plentiful reward to all who ramble within its intriguing contours. First amongst equals, for some, and certainly a precious jewel in the Magaliesburg crown is the long established and highly celebrated Mount Grace Country House & Spa, home of the equally lauded Rambling Vines restaurant. Mount Grace is situated approximately one hour from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, which makes it very accessible.

Car review: Renault Clio Sport Gordini - The pocket rocket

Every time we are given a Renault Sport of any kind we struggle to write the review. Not because the car is terrible – on the contrary, it is difficult to write because there is so much good to be said and so little bad. This little dynamo is a very complete package. While the regular Clio Sport is a nippy sports hatch that is quick and nimble in and around city streets and a massive beast on the open road, The Gordini version is no different in size, but it packs a slightly bigger punch. It may be a bit of a cliché, but after our week driving the Gordini, we can see why people say dynamite comes in small packages.

People seem to underestimate how good Subaru is. Not us! Since we were first introduced to the brand some four years ago, we have been singing the praises of the Japanese manufacturer. If you are looking for a complete driving package, chances are that Subaru has a vehicle to suit your every need. Whether you like driving off road or on, there is something for the lonesome cowboy and the family man, and we were lucky enough to be given a chance to test the latest version of the Legacy.

BMW pioneered the production of the luxury hatch when they first introduced the 1 Series all those years ago, and with well over a million units of the hatch sold, it was high time for a relaunch – enter the sexier and sportier new 1 Series.
