CROSSWORD

KIDS’ CORNER

To hybrid, or not to hybrid… • Even though he is not a fan of electric vehicles, Toyota’s hybrid engines are phenomenally efficient, says Mic van Zyl.

They don’t know what we know • Despite technological advances, and the unrealistic notion held by some that camping is merely a way to show off, the heart of the lifestyle should remain unchanged, says Neels van Heerden.

Whatever makes you happy • The art of camping isn’t about expensive gear or perfect sites but about enjoying every moment together, writes Linda Brink.

You look mighty familiar… • These days, it’s common for competing manufacturers to take the same vehicle and slap their own badge on it. But one model went through far more indignities than most.
