Boy, 8, drives dad's van for burgers, The Bachelor WTF moments and Marshmallow pavlova

Cape Town - I can't remember exactly how old I was when I started driving, but I know it came naturally from watching my dad drive his 1600 Ford Escort Mk2 while I was growing up.

I do remember though when I borrowed my late uncle's car without anyone's permission - or knowledge. I must have been 14-years old when my cousin and I (just three years younger than me at the time) decided to take her dad's maroon Toyota Cressida for a drive around the area. Since I was older, and taller, I got behind the wheel and our little cruise was one I'll never forget.

Nor is the amount of trouble I was in when we got back. This week Wheels24 reported on two hungry kids took their dad's van when the parent were asleep to go and get something to eat. 

Food24 has another awesome Easter dessert recipe; Channel24 tells us about the new show UnReal on Shomax, and W24 shares what to do if you really hate your engagement ring while Traveller24 shows us Emirates new ad, giving Nando's a run for their money.
