Locals invited to rev their engines for Dundee Adult Centre 4x4 fund-raiser

The Citizen21-07-2025
Residents are invited to gear up for a muddy adventure in support of a worthy cause at the Dundee Adult Centre 4×4 Family Day, set to take place on Saturday, July 26, at Corby Rock Farm, just 7km outside Dundee on the Nquthu road.
The community-driven event serves as a fund-raiser to support the ongoing work of the centre, which provides care for adults who are mentally challenged and/or disabled.
Drivers can put their off-road skills to the test on a specially prepared course, with an entry fee of R600 per vehicle. Local businesses are encouraged to sponsor an obstacle for R1000, offering a unique opportunity to promote their brand while contributing to community upliftment.
'This is more than just a 4×4 challenge,' said organiser Willie Steenberg. 'It's about bringing people together, raising funds for a good cause, and having loads of fun while we're at it.'
Camping facilities are available for Friday and Saturday night at no cost, with hot water and ablution blocks ensuring a comfortable stay for families.
Spectators are welcome, and organisers are calling on the public to come out, cheer on participants, and enjoy a fun-filled family day outdoors.
Vehicle entries are limited, and early booking is essential via 073 847 4898.

Leaked patent diagrams give a glimpse of the new Toyota Hilux

A series of patent diagrams detailing the interior of the soon-to-be-released ninth-generation Toyota Hilux have been leaked online. Appearing on the Instagram account cars_secrets, the technical drawings reveal an updated cabin featuring a new dashboard and a large, freestanding touchscreen infotainment system – probably the same 12.3" unit used in the Land Cruiser Prado. Entry-level and workhorse Hilux models will no doubt make do with smaller screens.

Leaked patent diagrams give a glimpse of the new Toyota Hilux

Motoring By Motoring Staff - 05 August 2025 The new Hilux gets a more aggressive front end with narrow headlight clusters.

An updated cabin features a new dashboard and a large, freestanding touchscreen infotainment system – probably the same 12.3" unit used in the Land Cruiser Prado. Image: Instagram/@cars_secrets Below the display sit a pair of horizontal centre air vents and a panel for the HVAC controls. Whether these are physical (let's hope so) or capacitive (let's hope not) remains to be seen. Other standout interior details include a chunky new gear lever design with a small rectangular switchgear panel beside it, what appear to be cupholders placed in front of the side air vents and a second enclosed storage area above the cubby hole. The absence of a mechanical handbrake on the redesigned centre console suggests the fitment of an electronic parking brake. While the instrument cluster is lacking in detail, it's most likely that higher-spec Hilux models will feature a customisable digital display. The accompanying exterior design drawings reinforce the idea that the new Hilux is a thoroughly revised version of the eighth-generation model, with the doors and roof skin carried over. However, to freshen things up, Toyota has bolted on a new front end that includes an aggressive new bumper design and a pair of slim headlight clusters. There's also updated wheel arch cladding and new wraparound taillamps. Riding on Toyota's longstanding IMV ladder-frame chassis (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?), the new Hilux is expected to continue with the proven 2.4 l and 2.8 l four-cylinder turbodiesel engines – the latter available with 48V mild-hybrid technology. We assume the workhorse models will offer the aged but reliable 2.0 l and 2.7 l VVTi petrol engines. The new Toyota Hilux is expected to make its global debut in November 2025 in Thailand.
