"What a weekend putting the new Iconic G63 and all electric G580 EQ through the paces. It is unbelievable what @mercedesbenzsa has done to an already amazing vehicle to make it even better. One of the best 4x4 cars I’ve driven, I also didn’t believe it until I saw it for myself. There is a reason the G wagon has the reputation it does. #StrongerThanTime #MercedesBenzSA"

Dricus Du Plessis has showcased his love for adventurous outings on multiple occasions. One of his previous Instagram posts showcased him holding onto a full-grown wild shark's caudal fin without any protective equipment.

A fan came up with a funny yet staunch warning for Du Plessis related to the shark he caught. He mentioned:

"Don't kiss it on the mouth"

'Stillknocks' provided an even funnier reply as he intended to obey the fan's caution. He also joked that the scar on his upcoming rival, Khamzat Chimaev's, lip came from such an incident.

"No way. That’s what Khamzat tried, and look how that turned out"
