I cruised up to Johannesburg on Friday morning with La Muse, The Dude and Salty. We were up for the highly anticipated launch of the new MINI Countryman. I checked the weather report and it mentioned the late 20’s, so I thought we might as well stay until Sunday evening. I mean, there could be worse things than lounging at The Westcliff Pool, right?
You know those times when you’re cruising on your Vespa, hitting the road with particular destination in mind? Perhaps you’re poodling up a mountain – perhaps not. It’s a bright, sunny late afternoon, some might even call it dusk. Light is thrown across the city scape below, and a slightly chilly wind is up. You think to yourself, “I could use some coffee right now”. Well you wouldn’t be able to get any, right? Wrong. So wrong.
In just six weeks, South Africa’s first mainstream online radio station has enjoyed over 2,500 downloads of its mobile streaming app. The app, which allows anyone with a smart phone (iPhone, Blackberry and Android) to listen to the radio station LIVE, has been rolled out to the iPad today. The latest update of the app […]
Cape Town local and epic handcyclist, Andrew Stodel recently cleaned up the majority of the elite competitors in his handcycling field at the New York Marathon, finishing sixth out of 198 professional handcycling athletes. Read his personal account of the race after the jump.
In this heat and with the crap traffic all over the road, how can you justify NOT getting a Vespa? Especially when it works out cheaper than any other bike. And that’s before you apply the secret 2oceansvibe discount.. Hope you like that pic. I took it this morning. I’m running a few errands today […]
If you enjoyed part 1 and part 2 (very well received!) of the hilarious 2oceansvibe Whisky Festival with Jack Daniels series, then you’re gonna love this final episode. It features none other than Stormers rugby player, Anton can Zyl. Watch as we find out about the team’s drinking habits, as well as how fond women […]
Ok I’m not kidding you, there is some quality humour here. Jack Daniel would probably turn in his grave if he knew, but I simply had to get into character and experience Jack Daniels in the way that some of his more wild fans have done (think Guns & Roses..). And so we cruised around […]
As an iPhone fanboy I must say I did find the cries for a 2oceansvibe Radio Android app overwhelming. Fair play to you guys 😉 And so finally it is here – Making 2oceansvibe Radio now available on iPhone, Blackberry, Facebook, Android, Tivoli Radios and the new MINI! And for those of you clever enough […]
The more awesome of you out there will be aware of the biggest whisky festival in the world, which took place in Cape Town last week. It’s called the Whisky Live festival and I was there. I also had a hip flask and enough Jack Daniels to keep me busy for quite some time. Three […]
Using doubles in movies is quite clever. Using one actor to perform as twins is also pretty advanced. Then you get 3D movies like Avatar, where the whole movie is computerized and still looks real. Then you get the new MINI Countryman commercial – OMF! Video after jump.
Ladies, if you’ve been thinking to yourself, “I could really use a USA Green Card but all I have to offer is a Kawasaki Ninja and my ‘hotness factor’”, fear not, for I am about to make your day.

Don’t know about you, but that’s where I’ll be killing it, as I ease into Johannesburg for a couple nights. I’m sure you will agree, it’s not the END of the world. And besides its appeal as a year-end function venue, the corporate rates are pretty damn good. It’s also pretty reasonable for families – did you know under-18s stay free? No spice!

iPhone Goes To Space Father And Son Send iPhone Into Space And Record Incredible Video (VIDEO) – A father and son from Brooklyn, New York sent an iPhone into the stratosphere a few weeks ago to record a video of the earth’s curvature. The two spent eight months researching and testing their homemade craft, which […]

Now you can finally tune-in to 2oceansvibe Radio with just one click on your ‘BB.’ Then all you do is plug it into your car the same way you would an iPod. Welcome to the future.
The more trendy of our London ex-pats will know of Carluccio’s Caffès – a great place to meet over a drink and simple well-prepared Italian food, made on the premises. Although one extra thing seems to have been added to their New Bond Street Carluccio’s menu – something that certainly is Italian and hand-made, but not right there on the premises!
[If you’re looking for the 2oceansvibe BLACKBERRY app, CLICK HERE] Yes it’s true that you can stream 2oceansvibe Radio on your smartphone just by going to www.2ov.fm, but we have a special new treat for the 2oceansvibe iPhone users out there.

We’re pretty excited (and so are you, by the looks of things!) about what’s going on at 2oceansvibe Radio and it’s always encouraging to hear stories confirming we’re on the right track. Like the fact that the FM signal in the UK is being shut down in five years time and the fact that the […]
If you don’t pop into The Cool Hunter every now and then, you’re doing yourself a great injustice. Take for example this new ad for Mini that they picked up on. God, it’s good! This, from The Cool Hunter : One of the selling points for Mini Cooper Clubman – the Mini that is roomier […]
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
I found myself absolutely killing it outside the vida e in Green Point this weekend, and I realised that I still haven’t told you about my new toy, the Vespa GTS 250 i.e. And that “i.e.” at the end doesn’t mean “id est,” as you often see in english sentences, it refers rather to the […]
You know when you think of something one day, then you suddenly get reminded of it everywhere you go? Like to other day I was in a sports shop looking for toys and very nearly bought badminton racquets and a shuttlecock (try not to laugh). I decided not to, but the next day on iol.co.za […]
The New Mini Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously The 2011 Mini “Countryman” Takes Internet Radio Quite Seriously – BMW’s Mini brand is getting a little bigger soon, with the Countryman bringing a taller stance and some AWD to the party, but that won’t be the only exciting addition to the mix. The Countryman will be […]
Victoria’s Secret Launch New “Incredible” Bra Victoria’s Secret Launch The New “Incredible” Bra – Whatever that has to do with anything but giving us new pics of our very own supermodel, Candice Swanepoel, I don’t know. She is apparently holding it (the new bra) in the picture above. See if you can spot it. For […]
There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]
We’re pretty blown away by the response to the “Seth Song” we’ve been playing fairly regularly, over at 2oceansvibe Radio. It’s not only a damn funny tune, but I tell you what – it’s got the heads bopping too! Apparently The Assembly lost their minds to it last Saturday! The guys behind the tune are […]
