First Video from South Africa!!
 
Hi All

EDIT: I removed the video because of complaints about the fast driving.. and not wanting to get into an argument.... then I thought "Bugger that.. I know how fast I was driving and although it may LOOK fast... it ISN'T"...

I'm kind of hooked on my Go-Pro and used to make LOADS of driving clips when I was modding my previous car (E46 M3, AA supercharged)..

anyhow... here's the first of many.. some nice shots of my beautiful city, Cape Town, on the tip of South Africa.. and some driving of course :)

Nice! Sooo crazy how South Africa is sooood damn modernized compared to all the other parts of the continent. You consider your self African or South African?

MattQ-WP 09-01-2012 04:44 AM

South African :)

The rest of the continent is a bit scary!!

First, massive congrats on the car. Second, Watched the vid.... How long before you post the one where you smash up someone's rear or kill someone while driving like a lunatic on public roads in traffic?

Clever editing my arse.... Or are you the only one to drive at the speed limit and every one else goes that much slower?

So is Johannesburg! I love South Africa, and have close family there, but the crime in Jo'burg is a bit much. Cape Town is wonderful, and I love the vid! I'd sure like to rip through the Garden Route in a GT86/BRZ. One of the mountain roads into Franchoeck is one of the most incredible I've driven -- too bad I was stuck in a Nissan Tiida (Versa)!

MattQ-WP 09-04-2012 07:32 AM

I deleted the video after MacTec got his knikkers in a knot

Just make it private

MattQ-WP 09-04-2012 09:39 AM

I put it back :)

Thanks Dude... yeah the start of the garden route is an easy 4 hour drive for us so we often head up for the weekend.

I love going up every year for the oyster festival and the kids LOVE the forest in Knysna.

I'll do a clip in the next couple of weeks on Franschoek pass... the weather is finally turning :happyanim:

MattQ-WP 09-05-2012 05:49 AM

Glad to see people enjoying the clip :) I'll try and head out into the country in the next few days and get some more images... there is snow on the mountains near Cape Town so hopefully I can get out there

Nice! I grew up in Bergvliet in the southern suburbs. I know those roads in the clip well. Don't worry about the haters, you were definitely not speeding excessively. :iono:

This car reminds me of my days in CT, but we were into the VW MK1's back then (Of course!)

This reminds me, I need to go back for a vacation, it has been 6 years!

MattQ-WP 09-06-2012 01:45 PM

There's no place like home dude.. and CT really has gone from strength to strength.. I travel extensively.. done CA.. LA.. DC.. NYC... London, Malaysia and Mauritius in the last few years.. and I gotta say this city really is something special.. globally... voted best run municipality ON EARTH last year!! we beat a Swiss town which is quite something!!
