It’s back, and better than ever!

For the 6th consecutive year the Motorheads Diary will be on the shelves from the middle of November. As always the 2012 edition not only has a page a day diary, (with only half pages for weekend days, mainly for those who get up late), but it’s filled to the brim with stories and pics on motoring trivia, interesting people and car stories, club news, event dates and a whole lot more.

In fact the “more” part has become one of the main reasons it’s such a useful book. It’s packed with trade information, like who sells spares for a 1948 Ford, who to contact if you need information on collectible cars like VW’s and Volvo’s, or where to find the best automotive glass experts. You can find the name and phone numbers of car manufacturers and importers, car clubs and race circuits.

Of course the end of the year is when thoughts turn to new beginnings next year, and if you need a bit of help planning for 2012 you can always have a glance through the Motorheads Star signs… they are generally rubbish, so if your star sign doesn’t appeal to you, just chose one you like better!

At the bottom of each page there is always a little box with something interesting for the day… ideal for those times you are hanging on the line for a call centre or an official department to answer. […]

Ek wou myself weer vind, wou vrylik en diep weer kon asemhaal en weet dat ek leef!  Toe doen ek wat ek lankal wou doen en klim in my 1971 Volkswagen Beetle en ry vrou-alleen deur Suid-Afrika .

4252 km in drie weke: Winburg, Bloemfontein, Die Nasionale Vrouemonument, Springfontein, Colesberg, Gamkaskloof – Die Hel, Matjiesfontein, Hermanus, Gansbaai, Knysna, Nieu-Bethesda, Die Uilhuis, Cradock …

In Spore en Stof, deel ek my ervarings – my vrese en vredes – en die liefde vir ons ongelooflike mooi land.

Ek onthou die rustigheid wat gekom het met my drie weke op reis; dalk lees mens iets daarvan tussen die lyne raak. Dit is my wens vir almal wat deur die boek saam met my op reis sal wees.

… Daar lê stukkies van my orals waar ek was.  Ek wonder of die wind hulle rondwaai, die golwe hulle rondspoel, dalk […]
