You’ll recall the article and video I gave you a few days ago, of Formula 1 racing driver, Felipe Massa’s accident after being hit in the head by a flying car part (here ). He nearly died but is injured and unable to continue racing in the foreseeable future. That’s all very well, but the […]
For those of you who read and got involved in the comments section (some more than others) of my “HARBOUR EDGE KNEE JERK” article yesterday, I thought you might enjoy this. I was in that same underground parking garage this morning and it is interesting to note the vehicle whose parking place I mistakingly took […]
This arrived in my inbox this morning and I was pleasantly surprised. It first appeared on Darren Scott’s radio show and features a new South African version of those GPS voices that give you directions in the car. Her name is “Beauty” and it’s a very well put together vibe, mentioning various road […]
I spent the night at The Muse ‘s place at Harbour Edge on Sunday night. We woke up in the middle of the night at some Godforsaken hour, with the intercom ringing. It’s an incredibly loud sound that it gives and, for a moment, I genuinely thought we were under attack. It went on for […]
I enjoyed this recent pic of Prince William, taking his Ducati out for a spin. The Cross of St GeorgeSubtle. Nice. Very nice. I like that. This, from The Daily Mail: Easy (Royal) Rider: Prince William puts on his leathers and heads for the highway There was plenty of horsepower involved, just […]
I’ve got a pantload of unrelated images all over my desktop that were meant for their own individual articles. Images that have made the grade and progressed from the pile of rubbish I receive, onto my desktop.They’ve been their too long and the moment is gone. So I’m putting them all into one article. Right […]
Popped-in to the Romanesque Abbey of Sénanque just north of Gorde yesterday and took in the magic surrounding the working monastery, founded by the Cistercians in 1148. The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque That’s how the monks roll The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a beautiful religious site and the perfect place to see […]
There have been all sorts of claims and suggestions as to the Top Gear TV show mystery precision driver, The Stig’s identity over the years. While it is understood that they have changed from time to time (previous article here), yesterday’s Top Gear show (jokingly) revealed someone who you probably didn’t expect. One of the […]
This one jumped out at me. Firstly because I appreciate the extent to which the fella freaked out and, secondly, because I used to own the exact same car and can categorically state that I have never (and will never again) deal with worse service from ANY brand than I did with Land Rover Cape […]
While the Golf Punk crew are officially the last people in Cape Town actually driving a Hummer, we pause to view a car that is as obscene now as the Hummer was then. Except this time it’s powered by bio-fuel! I give you the Knight XV . Seriously.. ..grow up Just wait for the […]
NO.WAY! Ok, this guy’s vibe is fairly luminous. You gotta check out his website at www.ferrariguyforhire.com (ja, you read that correctly – Ferrari Guy For Hire). He basically offers a service which revolves around being a passenger in his red convertible Ferrari with, wait for it, 24 KARAT GOLD WHEELS! Enjoy the bottom right […]
Spotted on a South African road, sometime in the recent past. The recession has hitEven taxi fare can be too expensive [thanks earl]
I have received this no less than 8,300 times and I fear if I don’t publish it, I may well choke to death on the sheer volume of emails. It’s good. It’s funny. CanIgonow?
Local law enforcers and “peace officers” should be warned – they are not above V&A Waterfront law. As we see in this pic, Cape Town cops who think they can abuse a yellow/red line vibe, are going to find themselves getting a bit stuck. Literally. And punished!Outside the Aquarium It’s not the first […]
There is not much you can do with the WP plates in terms of using the end letters “WP” to form the end of a word. I mean, really, how many NORMAL words end in WP? GAWP? Come on, man – that’s HARDLY normal. Luckily, in the Eastern Cape (a portion of which is ruled […]
EVERYONE knows it’s Barbie’s 50th anniversary this year, and what better way to celebrate than to launch a limited edition blinged out Barbie version of the Fiat 500! Look, we know that it’s next to impossible for Barbie to still be in the same good nick after 50 years, and we DID recently feature a […]
We have done very well, people. We have a full set of Cape Town’s rarest number plates, from CA 1 to 5. This was achieved after receiving this little gem: CA 5 – on a Land Cruiser Stealth Wealth.. Pretty cool to pop CA 5 on a Land Cruiser, I must say. ESPECIALLY an old […]
You remember when I mentioned the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa and how it was up for auction? You don’t? Come on – remember I was telling you how it would be a good car to snap up if you won the lottery? You still don’t remember? That’s weird – have you tried ACTUALLY thinking […]
Whilst some of you are quite aware of where CA 3 resides (here), it is interesting to note what the other original CA single digit numberplates are up to. CA 4 is very much in service, on the new Jaguar XF , I might add. Looking good! CA 4 – very much in service […]
This one sells itself: Howzit Seth, I know the picture quality is below par but I thought you might want to add this guys offering to your ever growing collection of numberplate journals. A buscuit wheel Not so rock solid I guess a punctured tyre and the ‘emboeresment,’ of having to sport […]
There is nothing quite like a sexy mouthful of a car name. Like my personal favourite car and car name, the 1952 Ferrari GT 250 California. Just saying it feels like you might even own the car. Say “GT 250” out loud now. Do it. “GT 250” – feels good, doesn’t it? Now say “1952 […]
Wow, very spicy vibe we have here. Whilst bizarre happenings and events within the greater Sea Point region are commonplace, this one must come within the top five! Seems like someone had QUITE an evening! Sent in from Talya G: Hey Seth, Seems someone was very very drunk last week, there is now […]
I don’t need to fluff this one up for you. It sells itself. Enjoy this email I received from Greg H: Please enjoy the numberplate Sup Seth, God – somedays he blesses us with something like this..! It was a CT summer day and a mate and I were enjoying some herb in […]
That’s right, the 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally runs from 2 to 8 May. For those of you who don’t know what it’s about, it’s a lot like the scooter rally we went on the other day through Cape Town, except completely different. It’s a cross country/ies 3,000 miles long and is done in ultra-luxurious, rare […]
Amazing that at the same time that 2oceansvibe publishes some large surfing articles (Twiggy winning here), we get this little beauty of a numberplate. Obviously a surfer’s car (jammy) and obviously with reference to the surf on any particular day. How were the waves? HUGE BRU WP So good. So very good. [thanks […]
Don’t know about you, but I just bought 5 lines for Friday’s Euromillions jackpot. I suggest you do the same. During a recession, why would you not? You know we don’t make a fuss about the EuroMillions lottery on 2oceansvibe unless it comes with a big jackpot. Well, this Friday is ANOTHER rollover with a […]
This is without a doubt the most extreme I’ve seen. Although admittedly crude, one must give the person credit to cruise around with a straight face, in this: KUM CAN WP Although I can’t imagine the angels taking too kindly to it. [thanks ant]
This is how Keanu rolls.. Like, whoaah dude! Nice one, Neo.
A stunning day had by all! Andrew from the Hi-Five Scooter Club organised a scooter rally that took place on voting day (GO DOLPHINS!), yesterday, which kicked off at the Waterfront Vespa Shop, next to the Caltex station. A rally that was put together to highlight the perfect match that is scooters and Cape Town, […]
Wow, there was definitely no getting out of this one! After my incredibly naive pre-Blog Awards pledge video where I promised (should I win) to ride my scooter along the Camps Bay strip in a leopard print thong (emphasis on “strip!”), there was no end to the sms’s, emails and tweets asking “hey dude, what […]
