We hope you enjoy this special podcast and we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments

Juliet McGuire is a stalwart of the local motoring media industry, having worked for multiple magazine titles, as well as holding the title of editor of Women on Wheels. For the last four years, she has been freelancing, and it has been quite a ride.   She joins Ciro De Siena in the studio for a very frank and honest discussion about the challenges facing freelancers, and especially female freelancers hoping to get into the industry.

Ciro was delighted to be joined in studio by popular SA Youtuber Niyaaz Isaacs, the face and voice behind the Liberebil Youtube channel.  

In this wide-ranging interview, Ciro and Niyaaz discuss the unreliability of BMW M cars, why Honda fans love model codes so much, why Maseratis need to look like Monica Bellucci, how to fix engines before they break, why he wants to buy his mom a Mercedes SLK, driving an electric Golf, what Niyaaz might buy next and of course his new venture, a build shop in Paarl focusing on American muscle trucks.

We've spent a little while building a custom podcast studio in our office and we'll be bringing you weekly episodes featuring journalists from Cars.co.za, motoring industry personalities, racing drivers, car builders and just about anyone we think you'd be interested in hearing from.  

In this episode, Ciro de Siena is joined by Cars.co.za content creator Dave Taylor and they chat about driving the SentiMETAL fleet’s 325 iS, the bonkers Renault Megane RS300 Trophy, buying a Subaru Forester as well as a crazy piece of Cold War era military hardware called an Ekranoplan.
