Maserati MCPURA Wins Dream Car Award… well Obviously It Did

© Maserati Some cars win awards politely. The MCPURA didn’t… it kicked the door down, parked sideways, and walked off with half the votes like it owned the place. It’s official… Italy’s favourite car magazine has looked at the MCPURA, wiped the drool off its keyboard, and said: “Yes. That one.” With a ridiculous 50% of the vote, Maserati’s new MCPURA has stormed the Quattroruote “Novità dell’Anno 2026” awards and …

An Evening with Frik du Preez : In the Presence of Greatness

© iShootStories powered by King Price Insurance Late last year, I had the incredible privilege of photographing Oom Frik du Preez’s 90th birthday celebration, and it turned out to be so much more than just a party. As I moved through the room with my camera, I listened. Old teammates, friends, and family shared stories, some funny, some emotional, all filled with deep respect. One thing came through again and …

This is a flying agricultural tantrum

Because while your neighbour’s kid is busy buzzing a R2 000 quadcopter over the braai like an irritating mechanical mozzie, this thing arrives on a trailer…or in a van, flattens your lawn, scares the dog, and then casually sprays an entire field like it’s late for harvest. Yes, technically it’s a drone. But calling it that feels wrong. This is more airborne farming equipment than toy. It doesn’t film sunsets. …

Designed on a Desk… Proven in the Sky

Some people collect fridge magnets… others casually design bits of fast-moving military hardware and then photograph it like a proud parent at a school sports day. For those that do not know… I designed the tail on “Talon” the Hawk. Yes, that Hawk. The one that slices through the sky with the subtlety of a V8 Supercar and the attitude of a RedBull-addicted Bird of Prey. And late last year, …

Penta Still Standing… One Dealership Sold, Not the Whole Empire

Apparently, somewhere between a rushed headline and a keyboard warrior with Wi-Fi, Penta Motor Group was “sold in its entirety.” Spoiler alert… it wasn’t. Not even close. Let’s put the kettle on, take a deep breath, and unpack this properly… because facts, unlike rumours, don’t need clickbait. Thanks to a few over-excited reports… including one from Business Day… the internet decided that Penta Motor Group had packed its bags and …

No J-Bay, No Noise… Just Silence, Salt, and a Right-Hander Waiting for 2027

They’ve taken J-Bay off the calendar… and just like that, winter feels colder, the coffee tastes weaker, and the Indian Ocean is sulking in the corner like it’s been stood up for a date. Yes, it’s official. In order to keep the shiny new 12-event format alive and well, the World Surf League has dropped Jeffreys Bay from the 2026 Championship Tour. No Supertubes. No South African leg. No salty …

Solberg Slaps Winter Silly and Makes History in Monte-Carlo

If Rallye Monte-Carlo is motorsport’s equivalent of being slapped with a frozen fish while blindfolded… then Oliver Solberg just smiled, asked for seconds, and won the whole damn thing. Yes. That Rallye Monte-Carlo. The one with black ice lurking like a tax auditor, mud pretending to be tarmac, snow doing whatever snow feels like doing, and rain for emotional support. And into this chaos rolled a 24-year-old Swede, barely old …
