Hi guys
long time no chat
I've been under the radar for a couple of years.
So! merry christmas and happy new year and happy birthdays to existing and new members
I've recently relocated to Cape Town to produce on a show for SABC 2 I'm enjoying the city but still adjusting to the capetonian driving style
for example
.driving slow in the fast lane
.not indicating
.no structure on roundabouts
this is something i'll have to adapt to.
I need help with a shoot.
If anyone in C.T. has a split Kombi ,early beetle,Karmann Ghia or volksrod
Id like to shoot an episode on you and your car
You cam p.m. or call me on 0781231989
your assistance is appreciated
V

.driving slow in the fast lane - This is getting worse by the day, especially on the N2 between CPT and Somerset West. Adapt accordingly and use the slow lane to overtake.
.not indicating - I also thought this was an issue until I found out that this is perfectly normal according to CATA (CPT Taxi Association). Just follow suit and change lanes at will without indicating. Why stick out like a sore thumb and attract attention to yourself by indicating?!
.no structure on roundabouts - This is an easy one to figure out... he/she with the biggest car barges in first. You can adapt this method with the he/she with the least fear of death wins. Also, a knowledge of any one of the martial arts, or a standard wooden baseball bat is very useful if any of the above didn't work out for you.
Other than that, welcome to Cape Town bud.

This is a dire problem to those of us on two wheels down here...

Hey Vuyo, if you're headed out to Jolas, swing by my workshop in Stellies.
Nothing aircooled at the moment, but my new assistant is almost finished with a VERY cool Volksrod RPU (roadster pick-up).......

Hey Vuyo,
Welcome to C-Ape Town
We would love for you to come and visit us at Grand SLam - lots of interesting goodies standing around!
Don't worry, you'll soon get used to the drivers here - just do what they do
It could cost you your life, but here it is a matter of "Defensive Driving"
Give us a call, perhaps we can help you get used to the CT way of life
