that new car smell
We are a group of regular South Africans who have a deep love for all things car and especially that new car smell. Unfortunately new car prices have risen significantly in the past decade and we believe that we can assist buyers to get the best price for their dream car. We have created a network of trusted new car dealerships who are dedicated to provide buyers with the best possible price.
Referring to a car as a whip?
Whip; Reference to a flashy vehicle (Urban dictionary). Many sources indicate that the reference to a car as a 'whip' came from the 19th century when cars were being developed as replacement for the horse and carriage. Sources differ where it relates to what part of the car was referred to as a whip. Some indicate that the steering wheel was referred to as a whip seeing that a whip was used to steer horses (which it was not) whereas others indicate that a whip was used to get a horse to accelerate and therefore the reference relates to the accelerator pedal. Although we don't know who is right or wrong, all we know is that we like referring to our new baby as a whip!
