An easy to do but super important aspect of owning a car is keeping up with services and maintenance! In this Video I show you how to do an oil change on your #Mini Cooper S R56.

If you've ever wondered how the low and high gears + diff lock work on a Land Rover, this is the video for you! For my last adventure in South Africa, I drove my grandfather's #Landrover Defender in the local game reserve for some #4x4 fun.

#DKW Tour 🙂
Ever wondered what it looks like to do mechanic work on an #oldtimer car? In part 4 of the #DKW Tour, we visited the #Goldengate #Highlands in #SouthAfrica. However, during our tour, one of the #DKW #Autounion 1000S had a water leak that needed fixing. In this video, I replaced the original asbestos water hose from 1959 with a brand new, heat-resistant hose to ensure the longevity of this DKW.

In part 3 of the #DKW Tour, we ventured into the Drakensberg mountains in #Lesotho, a small country inside #SouthAfrica. With 5 #Autounion #DKW classic cars, we tackled much of the mountaineous region until we finally stayed at a place called Kiara Lodge. On the way, one of the cars burst its tyre! Nothing a team of motivated elderly men (and me) can't fix though!

Welcome to the second part of the #DKW tour! In this video, I'm taking you to a farm that once boasted its very own railway station. Today, it's home to a captivating farm museum filled with vintage #locomotives, farming equipment, and a poignant relic from South Africa's #apartheid era – a public bus complete with original lettering, marking the division between European and Non-European cabins.
