TOP GEAR’S “THE STIG” REVEALS IDENTITY
22 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 16 Comments
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 […]

CONSUMER REVENGE
16 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
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 […]

KNIGHT XV VS. HUMMER
12 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
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 […]

FERRARI GUY FOR HIRE
11 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
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 […]

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?

LIKE THE VATICAN, THE WATERFRONT IS A COUNTRY OF IT’S OWN
09 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

HECTIQUE NUMBERPLATES
08 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 13 Comments
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 […]

THE FIAT 500 BARBIE

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 […]

CA 5 HAS ARRIVED! COLLECT ‘EM ALL!
26 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

1957 FERRARI 250 TESTA ROSSA SETS NEW AUCTION RECORD
21 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

CA 4 SPOTTED
20 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

THE 2009 GULLWING-AMERICA 300 SL PANAMERICANA
14 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
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 […]

THE 2009 GUMBALL 3000 RALLY HAS BEGUN!
04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
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 […]

THE ULTIMATE SURFER NUMBERPLATE
04 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
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 […]

RECESSION BUSTING R1 BILLION JACKPOT!
30 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
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 […]

WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?
23 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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]

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, […]

SCOOTER RALLY, THONGS AND *AHEM* EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
17 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 14 Comments
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 […]

THE TBG DRIVING IN TRAFFIC?
17 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Phillip W sent this in, asking the question, “Is this the TBG ?” (Tall Blonde Guy) Before signing off, he did mention that he doubted that the TBG would sit in traffic. Another pretender Unaware that without an aura or glow no one would ever believe he was The TBG Exactly right, Phillip, […]

BLOGGERS AND THEIR DREAM CARS
16 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Dale over at www.idale.co.za just did a feature on some guy bloggers and their dream cars. Some of them were pretty obvious, and some were nothing short of genius. Personally, I thought mine took the cake. Please enjoy the Ferrari GT 250 California .. (a la Ferris Bueller..). The Ferrari 250 GT California […]

THE BMW M8
09 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
I saw an old BMW 850 on the road the other day and I still got a bit of tingle – thinking back to how it felt when I first saw one as a kid. God they were cool. they’re still cool. The mind blowing thing about it, was that the shape of the car […]

BEST. PARKING. EVER!
07 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
“Kudos” obsessives will definitely give the audacious driver of this Vespa “kudos” for his/her parking ON Camps Bay beach . It is SO brazen, SO radical and SO brilliantly rude, that we should do nothing but stand and applaud. In the words of Montell Jordan.. “THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!” Stand up from […]

THE LAMBORGHINI INSECTA

WATERFRONT BAN “PARK ANYWHERE” RULE
06 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
It had to happen. After many years of stoned Capetonian antics and the general “park anywhere” mentality, The V&A Waterfront security team have had enough and are now, surprisingly, clamping vehicles who park “in the middle of nowhere.” “Middle of nowhere” parking is now an offence“Oh my God! It’s like you can’t do ANYTHING […]

VERY NAUGHTY
02 Apr 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
This guy COMPLETELY pushed his luck: But I’m not talking about the ACTUAL plate, which is fairly-to-mildly radical (FABDAD – WP) – I’m talking about what is written underneath it : “DIRTY SEXY MONEY.” Jesus, bru! You’re pushing it! It would be quite sick on a beetle – for that sarcastic angle. But, […]
