    I’ve been listening for the last few weeks every day and I’m afraid I’m gonna devour the entire catalogue and not have anything left to listen to! 😂 I would love some 20 - 30 minute segments! I love listening to Thando, the laughs between hosts and the commentary from the callers! Great job guys! Keep it coming! Listening from Washington DC!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NakedWheel Talk 3 September
Q: Can you quickly explain the difference between a full electric car and a plug-in hybrid, and their pros and cons?
A full electric car relies entirely on battery power and is highly efficient with lower running costs, and the battery can be charged at home or work. Plug-in hybrids use both a battery and an internal combustion engine, allowing seamless switching when the battery depletes, which offers range security and less range anxiety for those wary of charging infrastructure.
Naked - Wheel Talk 20 August
Q: What should you look for on the viewing day and how can you assess the car's condition before bidding online?
Attend a viewing day 1-2 days before the auction, bring a mechanic, test start and gears, and avoid buying a car with obvious issues like oil leaks or unserviceable gearboxes.
Naked - Wheel Talk 20 August
Q: Kamukhalo, you've got a question for Jacob. How do you actually spot if the auction is actually legitimate?
Jacob advises avoiding Facebook auctions, doing a Google check on the auction house, and looking for a PTY LTD registration and a real catalogue to verify legitimacy.
Naked - Wheel Talk 13 August
Q: What happens if your car is stolen and you've been paying for a tracker long-term?
The insurer typically covers the payout based on the car's market value, while also settling any outstanding finance; the rest would come to the owner, though refinance may be affected and a replacement vehicle may be needed.
Thando speaks to Anthony Selepe Pikitup Spokesperson
Q: Anthony, if you were to give an estimate to Joburgers listening right now, when do you think the rubbish may be picked up?
Pickup is continuing in the current discussions and operations; a precise date is hard due to unpredictable gate closures, but efforts are ongoing to normalize service with additional trucks and personnel as resources permit.
