I've noticed recently that when driving and the car crosses the 60kmph mark, there is a vibration in the whole car and it dosen't stop. The vibration only begins at 60, before that it's smooth. Any idea as to what could be causing it.

Check with the basics, your tires and wheels if they're straight.

Then check driveshaft flex couplings.

Ive done wheel alignment and balance and still the car vibrates but only when you reaching high speeds i.e. anything close to 150 you can barely hold the steering wheel - quite scary actually. Would the next place to look be the bushes???

Quite...Something is not holding one or more components where it should.

Is there anywhere that does on the car balancing?

Ill have a look around, could the drive shaft be an issue??

I'll check it out, the car's in the workshop anyway getting a full tune up done, this would be the right time to have a look at it. BTW I'll be replacing the radiator since I've had this problem for sometime now where the car's temparature crosses the 100 mark and goes higher when the traffic is slow moving.

With summer approaching here and midday temperatures reaching 48dergees C, this would be something that I will be experiencing more often. Any thing else to look out for that should be replaced alongwith the radiator? What's the ideal brand that I should replace it with, I currently have a BEHR that I think is the original form factory.

The resident experts might know better, but I think Behr would be the way to go.
