As with the SLR722, the Stirling Moss can […]
This little clip was taking by security cameras in a dealership in Hatfield (I’m guessing Pretoria??). The young lady driving the car got her license two days earlier and is seen here driving her car out of the dealership a couple months back. I have a feeling you’ll enjoy this. It almost feels like you’re […]
It’s all about how you package yourself. You got to start thinking about Brand YOU . Take Sunny here, for example. He’s taken it to the next level. And not only has he put a picture on the side of his car, he’s put FIVE. Different styles, different gestures. All saying one thing, “I’m flexible […]
A buddy of mine has the Audi R8 and I must admit, I’m pretty damn impressed. It’s quite radical when it comes to everything from handling, to power and overall design; God knows it’s won numerous awards. Prada on the other hand has never failed to impress me. I’ve got a couple pairs of shoes […]
I was cruising around Jalopnik the other day and found a list of various celebrities and the cars they drive. Judging by how bored you are, I thought you might enjoy! Click each celebrity below hard in the face to reveal a picture of them with their car. I must say, Nic Cage and Simon […]
We’ve brought you a pant load of number plate articles and we’re getting what I call “license-lash” when you’ve seen too many stupid numberplates and you can’t do any more. Unless, of course, they’re EXCEPTIONAL . Unless they’re BEYOND human thought. You’ll remember (here, here, here, here and here) my main issue being about people […]
It’s quite evident that I spent last weekend in Hermanus. I told you about the sea rescue and I told you about the cock guy with the flashing blue light on the way there. But what I did NOT tell you, was about the Butlers Pizza that I ordered and had delivered to Hermanus, over […]
As you might have gathered, I cruised up to Hermanus with The Muse on Friday arvee last week, in lieu of Don Corleone’s 70th birthday being held at Wolff’s Nest on Saturday night. The drive was pretty cool, except for the fact that we had to return to The Safe House about seventy two times […]
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 […]
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. […]
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: […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
YEEEEHA WP gets our nod of approval Well done, you’re through. [thanks brian]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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.” […]
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 […]
Oh my good Lord! We have just received these pictures live from one of our many MANY intrepid readers who send in shit that matters. 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 […]
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 […]
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]
