Coulthard Catches Golf ball In Car Going At 180mph [VIDEO]
22 Jun 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
In terms of advertising, I would rather watch a race car driver catching little balls in a car going 180 miles an hour, than a dog talking from a bakkie. It’s a little silly, but definitely worth a watch, even if it is just to hear how genuinely excited Coulthard gets when he catches the ball.

12 Dec 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I was grabbing a couple poached eggs at Cecconi’s with The Big H just off Saville Row – Mayfair – this weekend. We spotted a new white Range Rover Evoque struggling to park opposite us. The driver was a Brazilian woman and, after a few attempts, her companion jumped out to help direct her. What […]

Running Squirrel Versus Lamborghini – Who Wins? [VIDEO]
01 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In their never-ending pursuit to find nuts, squirrels can sometimes forget to look left and right before crossing the road. The end result of this is not always nice, trust me, I work in Stellenbosch and see this daily. But check out this cheeky bugger – attempting to outrun a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV going at 160km per hour. That’s bold!

F1 Driver Robert Kubica’s Hand Nearly Severed In Horror Crash
07 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I came across this rather grisly story while watching the pilot of Boardwalk Empire this morning, which (by the way) is blaaaady marvellous viewing. Robert Kubica, the Formula 1 Renault driver, was badly injured in a rally crash in Italy on Sunday. And by ‘badly injured’ I mean surgeons had to reattach veins, tendons and muscles in his arm to save it.

I must admit I’ve been dying to do Fantastic Racing for a while now and when Cape Town Tourism invited me to a day at Killarney (same place I did the Audi Advanced Driving Course the other day) racing around in single seater racing cars, well, I couldn’t resist! This is what I found upon […]

Sports Roundup and TV Times #6 with ‘Blades’
17 Sep 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Life isn’t fair. Whiskey prices are at an all-time high. Women are branded as men. Elton John can’t adopt and Eskom bosses get disgusting bonuses. That’s just the way it is. We have to accept it. What we shouldn’t have to accept, however, is the fact that not a single Proteas name made it onto […]

Sports Roundup #1 with “Blades”
13 Aug 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
Victory, we all know, is sweet at the best of times. Victory against the Wallabies, on the other hand, is similar to three courses of dessert followed by…you guessed it, dessert. Perhaps the only thing better than beating the Aussies at rugby is beating them at cricket, and after two wins against the All Blacks, […]

THE GOLDEN AGE OF FORMULA 1
22 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With one race left in this year’s F1 championship, and the chance to watch Lewis Hamilton blow it in the very last race, I thought a little F1 post was due. Don’t get me wrong, I am genuinely a big fan of Hamilton’s. It’s more to do with the spectacle of watching the poms deal […]
