Although I have vaguely considered purchasing a number of cars that I’ve test-driven over the past decade, I’ve rarely done the actual numbers and come as close to buying one as I did when the Limited Edition Ford Mustang Bullitt was launched back in 2019.

In that Mustang of Highland Green, paying homage to the 1968 movie
Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen racing up and down the undulating streets of San Francisco in an epic 11-minute car chase, knowing that there were only 50 limited editions available in SA, I was gung ho to invest.

An illegal motorcycle race, a Palestinian refugee camp, the prison abolition movement, the writer Clarice Lispector, a notable Italian movie, a young life in the music scene of San Francisco, and more: Rachel Kushner speaks about creating a through line for a career-spanning collection of nineteen essays in “The Hard Crowd.” These essays plunge into worlds pulsing with life beyond the writer; and she says the essays speak to each other. There is tonal fluidity between literary journalism, memoir, cultural and social criticism, with each essay passing the torch from one to another. It’s not about reflection it’s about reporting on action.
BMW M2
Entry level of the mighty M series of cars, its no slouch. Short wheel base, turbo charged screaming 3 litre inline 6, Dual clutch 7 speed Automatic. Car is a looker too with short squat stance and aggressive intakes. Back seats were ok.
The car had 25k on Odo and could have been abused. The ride was too firm for me and realized will not enjoy as a daily driver. Representative image , sourced from internet
Maserati Quattroporte GTS
Came across a pristine pre-owned car. Maserati makes one of the best sounding engines. But the car is known to have maintenance issue and depreciates at a rapid pace. Didn’t want to end up with a lemon as the maintenance costs locally are super high.
