WHAT GOES AROUND…
12 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 7 Comments
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, [...]

THE ELLE MAGAZINE INTERVIEW – IN FULL
06 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
In November I alerted you about the Seth Rotherham feature in the ELLE Magazine. I didn’t publish it in full on these pages, as the magazine was still in circulation. It is now off the shelves and has coincidentally become one of their most successful issues ever. Weird.. especially with that issue of YOU Magazine [...]

GRANGER BOULEVARD – THE ULTIMATE ROAD TO THE WATERFRONT
05 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Yesterday I “tweeted” something about the magical road that transports you from the new Green Point circle (next to the stadium) directly to the Waterfront (the preferred back entry near the Radisson hotel). There is no easier route to get to the Waterfront. Even if I was driving into town from the N2, I would [...]

23 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
This photo was taken by a friend of a friend in Durban. It seems the driver of the vehicle fancies himself as a gangster rapper, as you will notice he has superimposed his own picture in and amongst those of famous hard-core gangster rappers. On his car’s back windshield, no less. Click image to enlarge. [...]

17 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
Is it just sitting there on the table? Annoying you? It’s such a small amount of money, but we all know that the cost is not what we are fearing – it’s the queues at the Traffic Department – oh, the pain! When is the best time to get there? And, when I get there, [...]

Twas a mere month ago that we brought you stunning images of that gentleman who risked his life hanging onto the back of a truck. Sigh.. such is the public transport situation these days. Not to be outdone, this chap took things to the next level and rode on TOP of a vehicle. “Just stay [...]

THE KILLERS CONCERT IN CAPE TOWN
08 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 21 Comments
I feel quite bad that I chilled at Pearl Valley until just before the concert. It kills me that we drove in at the last minute and got VIP parking and grabbed a beer before being escorted to the Heineken VIP tent and then into the Golden Circle. I genuinely do feel bad. CLICK HERE [...]

I SPOKE TO THE REDDAM HOUSE GRADE SEVENS (STD. 5) YESTERDAY – CAPE TOWN PRIVATE SCHOOL
04 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I visited the Reddam House Grade 7′s yesterday at 08h45. That will probably explain why I was tweeting you so many awesome photographs (here and here) this morning as I made my way from The Safe House to Reddam House Private School in Sea Point. Reddam House [...]

THIS IS HOW THE COPS ROLL IN JOHANNESBURG
03 Dec 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
There’s no “dicking” around in Jozi when it comes to the cops and the way they “roll.” In a move than can only be described as “larney,” the boys in blue have gone for Mercs as their vehicle of choice. Check this shit out: Hah! Don’t you just LOVE the name of the unit? PROTOCAL [...]

I WENT “FANTASTIC RACING” IN CAPE TOWN!
24 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon [...]

Sorry, I beg your pardon, did you say that you’ve “seen it all?” This, sent in by Warren H: NOW you’ve “seen it all” Surely it wouldn’t be great if that thing hit a big bump? More importantly, did he think no-one would see him? Check out these pics and you’ll find that the cops [...]

THE END OF AN ERA – AS CITI GOLF PRODUCTION STOPS
11 Nov 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 20 Comments
I heard the news last week and, to be honest, I needed some time to let it sink in. I was emailed the news before I left the Safe House that day. Later on I heard it on the radio and then The Muse told me that she (a VW owner) had received a sms [...]

We have only recently been made aware of this con that is going on around town and are not sure how long it has been going on for. It appears that someone is trying to impersonate one of 2oceansvibe’s leading Characters, “G-MAN.” The first incident came in the comments section of the infamous Portofino article. [...]

I attended a full day at the Audi High Performance Driving Course at Killarney race track in Cape Town. I don’t know if it was because of that speeding fine I got, but my boys at Audi Centre Cape Town felt I couldn’t carry on driving the R8 or the TT without attending the course. [...]

26 Oct 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Jeepers, Car Magazine TV (“Car TV” – www.cartoday.com) are playing out of their socks! They’ve basically taken the proven formula of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls, and applied it to cars. I missed the first few, but they’ve got a regular online Car TV show, presented by a spunky blonde petrol-head. Good Lord – my bandwidth [...]
