Problem solved
[permalink]

A few years ago I wrote an article about the dial-a-dop service that brings alcohol at any time on any day to your door. In my Claremont house we had the gate remote next to the jacuzzi and the guy used to bring the stuff right up to our mouths without us ever having to leave the jacuzzi. Pretty good idea.

But now we have another clever idea for Capetonians. Most locals have found that the glory days of driving around with a beer tap on the steering wheel are coming to an end. People are getting caught and people are dying. But you can't get used to getting taxis and you want to drive your car to where you're going but don't know what to do when you need to get home. You need a way to get home, pissed, without driving, WITH your car. It's easier than you thought.

Do yourself and pick up your cellphone and save this number. Save it as "Driver Shaun".

Driver Shaun
082 484 9530

Shaun is a guy who will meet you within 20 minutes wherever you are. He'll have as many drivers as you need for as many friends you have with cars who need to get home, pissed. Each car gets a driver and they drive you and your mates home in your car for R150. Wherever you are - with as many drop-offs you may have along the way. For three people it's R50 each. When you get home they say good night and wait to be fetched on the road by Shaun who drives around in the Mother Ship.

I got one of Shaun's drivers called Sam. He drove me from Scarborough to Camps Bay. Our first stop was a 24 hour shop where I purchased some munchies. When I returned from the shop he was waiting with the passenger door open for me which he closed behind me. Yes, like a butler. People in the shop weren't fucking sure what was going on. I typed my road name in the satellite navigation system and told Sam to follow the arrow on the screen. I put on some Lionel Richie and he woke me up as we entered my road.

Now that's what I'm talking about.
