I just got my latest issue of Car Magazine in the post and spotted the all-new Jaguar XJ on the cover. Jeepers, but that is a beauty! The Cape Royale has been driving me around in the XF which has been an absolute dream, but I must say I wouldn’t mind an upgrade, if there’s [...]

20 Apr 2010 by silverstreak / 8 Comments
Word on the street is that a valet attendant employed by the four star Grand Daddy on Long Street may have allegedly abused his position last Saturday night.

LOCAL WEBSITE WILL REDUCE YOUR TRAFFIC FINES
19 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
It’s common knowledge amongst the well-informed (funny that) that your traffic fines will almost always be reduced if you send in a letter with a feasible excuse to the traffic department. Fines are nearly always halved at the very least. The only problem is we often don’t have the strength to actually sit down and [...]

CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON
26 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
We spot some awesome individuals driving around in Cape Town and some of my favourites are those who populate the back shelves of their cars with fluffy toys. Some of them have a couple stuffed animals, whilst others are prone to entertaining all seven dwarves. Then the more hard core have literally an entire population [...]

YOU AND YOUR EX ON THE SIDE OF A TRUCK – NOT IDEAL
15 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I was leaving my Saturday morning session with Bob Skinstad at KFM, when I noticed a truck offloading some goods. The side of the truck had a man and a woman advertising a brand of mattress. They were in a state of undress and it was very clear that this couple were on the verge [...]

WHO NEEDS ACTUAL TYRES?
11 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Harders sent in this beautiful pic taken very recently. You’ll notice how a hose pipe can very easily be used as a tyre. What’s going on here? Oh hello! Absolutely brilliant! Not a bad idea at all – especially with the price of tyres these days – I may well do the same thing. Although, [...]

THE NEW MASERATI GRANCABRIO WILL MAKE YOU CRY
23 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It’s pretty damn clever, I must say. Instead of the usual guidelines that car companies give their designers like “a family car” or “something sexy,” the powers that be at Maserati gave them simple direction, “make Seth Rotherham cry.” This, my friends, is the Maserati GranCabrio. Jalopnik had this to say: The GranCabrio represents [...]

HOW TO MAKE THE PERFECT MARTINI
03 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
To do it right you need some essential skills. For me, my “skill set” is pretty vast, to say the least. To begin with, I’m pretty quick off the mark. I beat Craig Lorden (The Lord) in a foot race in London a few years ago, and Craig is well known for his pace. I [...]

26 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 19 Comments
These guys might want to address whatever it is that is making cars swim, instead of drive. This morning’s incident was very similar and in nearly the same spot as the one that occurred eight days ago (here). Here are pics of this morning’s plummet. Good grief! I hope everyone is ok..

WHAT GOES AROUND…

Incredible phrases and names on our local taxi’s have always amused me. Classics like “Dance with my father” and “Good luck to those who hate me” will be remembered forever. So will this one, I’m sure, as we witness the beauty of misunderstood and/or misspelt phrases being printed on taxis – always funny. Awesome.. Seriously, [...]
