Mercedes-Benz have really spoilt us with the likes of the Gullwing. But now, they bring you two concept models that will leave you pretty darn wet if you ask me!
Bugatti is back on top! After losing its title as the world’s fastest production car to the American-built Aero SSC Ultimate, the Veyron has hit back with the Super Sport!
While many sportsmen spend their time in the run up to a major event practicing, James Hunt spent the 2 weeks prior to his famed 1976 win in Japan on a “round-the-clock alcohol, cannabis and cocaine binge”.
The image you see here is a familiar sight, I have no doubt. You usually bow your head when the envelope arrives in the post, open it slowly and immediately your eyes dart to the value of the fine. Once that is done, there is hopefully a photograph taken at the scene of the crime, with you in the car as you drove over the speed trap. But what if it wasn’t you? What if it was no-one?
Volkswagen just keep coming back for more! Remember the family-oriented advertisment from the good old days with David Kramer? Or the ones featuring “I remember the days of my life” by Andre de Villiers? Yeah, this advertisement is nothing like that, but damn it has its place.
If you have gold front teeth, a gold chain, a gold ring, gold-rimmed sunglasses and a gold watch…you might want to roll around in this bad boy. Check out the new Rolls…
Do you have R6.5 million just lying around – don’t know what to do with it? Well you can always buy this!
Introducing the beautifully sleek 2+2 coupe based on the Maybach 57 S. More after the jump.
You have never seen feet dance on pedals like this before – Walter Rohrl driving the Audi Quattro – people flying out of the way!
And the awesome background tune!
You HAVE to watch this! Exclamation mark!
Remember those days when there was nothing quite like the excitement you felt when arriving at an air show with your parents? Well Jaguar has managed to create that same fuzzy feeling with their C-X75 concept which was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show last week
It takes a lot to impress the tribal council, here at the 2oceansvibe Lair, and we have to give it to the people who worked on this bit of Mercedes Benz exposure. Check it out – spotted in Cavendish Square: Something wrong with that picture, right? Remove the car, and this is what you get: […]
It’s not everyday I follow in the footsteps of the 2oceansvibe Weather Girls – but I couldn’t resist the chance to shoot the breeze with Julz, who has previously featured the likes of Cape Town’s very own smoking hot sex kitten, Lyndall Jarvis on her show! And that’s before we even get into Julz herself […]
There are only a handful of genuii (first-person masculine plural) who can pull off classified ads that rival that classic Australian BMX ad we featured back in Feb oh niner. A lot of peeps out there try their best but they just don’t get you in the same way – they’re trying too hard. Unlike […]
If the original Top Gear is sex, then Top Gear USA is sex with a dead person. Mechanically speaking, you’re doing the same thing, but it’s wrong, and you should never, ever do it, and society will hate you for it, and you’ll always be remembered as the guy who took something fundamentally awesome and […]
Check this Roller with Zim plates and the number “1” spotted in Sandton.. Mugabe? Is that how Bob *ahem* rolls..? I reckon it might be. I love the way it doesn’t need any other digits or letters – as if it is the first car in the world. All it has is a little Zim […]
Some people want to know what happens when we die. Personally, I think there are far more pressing issues at hand. Like, WHO comes up with the names on the back of taxis? I’m not kidding – this is important shit. I really think these back window messages have been sent to test me. Not […]
With the likes of the UK shutting down the FM signal completely, combined with our increased need for non-stop internet, it’s no wonder Subaru are following in Audi’s tracks by developing cars with built-in 3G. The Subaru Outback, a “crossover” SUV and yuppie icon that seems naked without a ski rack on top and several […]
You gotta give the Dutch credit – they certainly get A for effort in the fandom stakes. I’ve received a tumultuous load of emails with these pics and didn’t know where to start. Luckily I found a fellow blogger, blacknotes.co.za had done the necessary. Seriously – that’s nothing.. Crazy cars – crazy people.. Check it […]
You’ll recall the awesome ad that my buddy Colin Jeffery in the States (The Advertising Guy) did with Goldfish (The Blonde & Baby Jesus). Remember, it’s the one where the hamsters drive a KIA car with Goldfish playing on the system. Check the commercial out here. Incidentally, the same Goldfish tune Colin used in the […]
Remember the “alleged” tale of the Grand Daddy Valet who stole a customer vehicle and rolled it 70 kilometres away in Blue Downs? The Grand Daddy Hotel left a comment on that story. Let’s enjoy it with our morning coffee: A response to this post from the Grand Daddy: It is regrettably true that this […]
They say the sight of a smashed up Ferrari can break a man. This may be true, but I think the sight of a repair bill can be even worse. Especially for a big accident. Especially when it’s a Ferrari. Like this Ferrari, for example: 1 X whoopsie That was sent in by a few […]
Fans of Top Gear will get the appeal of a numberplate that suggests the driver is “The Stig” – the mysterious test driver from the hit TV series, whose identity has never been fully revealed. There’s only one problem with this picture: Learner Stig Oh, the irony. [thanks steve]
Do you remember that revolting woman who screamed at me like a lunatic in Cavendish Square? You know, the one who was shouting, “You drahvin marmees cor!” Ja, well I thought of her when I saw this article. This is the type of thing she would do – although it would be better if she […]
People are surprised when they find out how strict I am when it comes to seat belts. Much like Nick Goldblatt (Golders), I refuse to drive or let passengers join me without them wearing one. Even when the Cape Royale chauffeur drives me around, I buckle up in the back seat. Some people forget to […]
It’s always a pleasure to see 2oceansvibe Weather Girls killing-it on the instanet. Take Lyndall Jarvis, for example, who joined Julz for the debut “On The Couch” episode for Car Magazine’s website. “CARtv’s Juliet McGuire chats to her friend Lyndall Jarvis, who was voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World, about her motoring adventures, what […]
My goodness, I do like the sound of this! Finally we get a rally which makes use of both fine cars and the magical vistas that make up the Western Cape. They say it’s a non-competitive rally, but if I manage to secure a berth I can promise you right now I will have a […]
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 […]
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. And when we say “abused his position”, what we really mean to say is “stole a Grand Daddy client’s Mini Cooper Sport, and wrecked it Jub Jub […]
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 […]
That’s the rumour going around…. we’ll have to wait and see.. for now though, can we just chat about this car quickly? But let me first take you back to the mid-1950’s, when the following icon was born: The 1955 Mercedes Benz 300SL “Gull Wing” The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was introduced in 1954 as a two-seat, […]
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 […]
