TAXIJAM HOOKS UP YOAV SADAN
22 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A couple months back I told you about Taxijam, the incredible new underground music video concept featuring artists playing in the back of a local taxi. Started by 2oceansvibe Character The Film Guy (Richard) and his cousin Simon, it’s gaining rapid momentum and has featured the likes of 2oceansvibe’s favourite The Dirty Skirts and our [...]

CAPE MINSTRELS TRAFFIC CHAOS
21 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I thoroughly enjoyed this tongue-in-cheek story about Capetonians and our beloved Cape Minstrel annual carnival. With teeth.. CAPE TOWN – author unknown Over 300 Cape Minstrels are in hospital this morning after taking part in a traditional street carnival to celebrate January 2 without realizing that the day was not a public holiday.

ANONYMOUS TOP GEAR “STIG” DRIVER REVEALED
20 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Top Gear fans out there will be excited about this, and a bit sad, I suppose. Much like the neighbour in the Tim Allen “vehicle,” Home Improvement, the test driver featured on the hit TV show, Top Gear, has managed to keep his identity secret. Until now.. The Stig This, from Daily Mail: [...]

NUMBER PLATE ROUNDUP
16 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Wow! This numberplate fetish seems to have really taken off with you lot! I have never received such a solid stream of emails relating to one topic in my life. Well, this life, that is. I received LOADS in my past life as a 16th century prince, but we didn’t have email then. I received [...]

THE MISSING LINK – CA 2
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So we’ve chatted about various car number plates on these pages and, in particular, the pretenders out there, specifically those who include CA at the beginning of their WP plates (here and here). As suggested before, the idea is to get as close as possible to the purest of the pure – the single digit [...]

NUMBER PLATE QUALITY HUMOUR
12 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I throughly enjoyed this little number sent in by Dave L: Hi Seth, I thought you would enjoy this one. Jerry Barnard (the muso) asked me to look after his car while he was away, so I made a few modifications to it, look carefully and see if you can spot them. Stunning [...]

Manchester United winger, Cristiano Ronaldo managed to escape without a scratch yesterday, as he lost control of his R2.5 million Ferrari in a Manchester airport tunnel. Not ideal This, from The Sun: CRISTIANO Ronaldo obliterated his Ferrari after losing control of his £200,000 supercar. The lucky Manchester Utd winger escaped without a [...]

TRIPLE ROLLOVER STIMULATES F.T.C.C.
09 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Four words – Fuck The Credit Crunch. Those of you who entered the Kika-Sack competition (competition is now closed, btw) earlier this week will know that there was a consolation prize for those who entered but didn’t win; of a free voucher to this week’s Euromillions Lottery. You see, here at 2oceansvibe, everyone is a [...]

WHAT MADE YOU DO IT?
06 Jan 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Wow, I tell you, I didn’t expect it to go this far. And don’t think that you’ve seen this one before, because you haven’t. Not on these esteemed pages anyway. You will remember our various car articles and, in particular, this one about the Ferrari driving around with a CA 1 WP numberplate. That was [...]

AMBIGUOUS NUMBERPLATES
23 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Matt O drew my attention to this ad on Gumtree, advertising the following numberplate. Personalised number plate! LUV KIDS-WP Price Neg. Much sought after plate.. I don’t know how “highly sought after” a numberplate like that is. I mean, if it was owned by a baby sitting/nanny service, like www.childminders.co.za, then I don’t have [...]

HILTS HAS A BRAND NEW PINK BENTLEY
22 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Paris Hilton has finally fulfilled her childhood dream of owning a car like the children’s toy doll, Barbie. Stunning. I had the same dream when it came to Noddy’s car that he used to drive. But then the shit hit the fan when his African friend, Golliwog, had to change his name, with regulators citing [...]

THE 148TH RUNNING OF THE QUEEN’S PLATE
11 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I remember a girl friend of 2oceansvibe being ever so slightly scorned at the emotional neglect dealt to her by 2oceansvibe’s “The Kitesurfer.” We had ploughed through a bottle of bubbly at Karma the one night and time came for me to exit. A tad tipsy, she said unto me (with her fingers snapping in [...]

FERRARI PRETENDS TO BE THE MAYOR
09 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We were chatting the other day (see article here) about the different car numberplates on the road and the peculiar concept of people pretending to own exclusive CA numberplates, by faking it on a personalised WP registration – thus destroying the whole point of the exercise. Someone wrote to me after that story and explained [...]

NEGLECTED ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM
04 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
This reminds me of the cars in LA that park on the street. Sent in by Fergus, after a recent trip to Lagos. Note front right flat tyre.. Bad owner. Naughty owner. Owner probably doesn’t even know! We should steal it.

BAKING
02 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Spotted this in Kloof this morning on a way to a meeting with incredibly powerful people. I thought I would follow through and check out the Bible reference. This is what Matthew 6:33 beholds: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” [...]

FROM THE OTHER SIDE
01 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I made up a saying a while ago and it goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Once again, another one of my sayings are proven, as you will see below. Earlier on we brought you breaking news of the bus on fire on Hertzog Blvd. in central Cape Town. Those pics came, as usual, from [...]

Taken in Cape Town city off Hertzog Boulevard, this, like, JUST happened. Check it out. Feeling hot hot hot.. Spontaneous combustion? There’s not much more that you can [...]

MAY I HAVE A BRIEF WORD?
01 Dec 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Now, I’m sure we’ve chatted before about this. Or maybe we merely touched on it. And this is the subject of numberplates. The CA plates versus the WP plates, to be more specific. There seems to be a bit of confusion amongst foreigners and locals alike, when it comes to the various plates. People refer [...]

WHEEL CLAMPS, SIGNS ETC.
26 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The other morning’s festivities, which included The Muse getting her car clamped at my current residence, The Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town; resulted in a great response from the 2oceansvibe community. Including this BEAUTIFUL photograph, taken by the equally beautiful Nicole B. Absolutely fine Now that’s the kind of sign The Muse [...]

Whilst one may deem it a tad rude, one should also remember that it does still fall into a category which we call, “quality humour.” Clever [thanks charl]

A DAY AT THE BEACH
21 Nov 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We mentioned on Wednesday that it would be 35 degrees on Thursday (yesterday). It was. It started with lunch at Caprice, and then it moved onto the beach. And then it came back again. It was a whirlwind. Like a whirlwind romance, but with no romance – just booze and bodies and extravagance and extreme [...]
