17/06/2008 05:37. To replace the four tyres on the Audi Q7 4.2TDi I was driving would cost a little less than half of what the insurance paid out for my stolen Honda.

That's about R5500 each for four 21-inchers. And if you trash a rim, how about R13 700 for each fancy five-spoked hoop?

More than the average South African family food budget for a month, but hey, if youve got the cash, why not?

It's listed at R738 500 but with all the extras on the one I was driving, it weighed in at a hefty R822 400.

Would I? No, because it's too much car for me and mine but for those on government salaries with backhanders pouring in left, right and centre, it's probably a drop in the ocean

There's not much to moan about here;... // Motoring
