Hi guys. Can i ask how do you guys do this for a living? It's amazing and want to quit my corporate job and see the world. Please can you direct me in this? Thanks.
I got goosebumps when I saw the big hills, very beautiful. I'm really excited about the next video. Can't wait to see more South African tastes from you guys!
I'm a Student at Stellenbosch University and live at Res, but my parents stay in George so I visit them during the holidays. I've gotta say I love the trips to and from Cape Town especially the scenery 🤩🤩🔥🏞🏞
I miss doing the Johannesburg to Cape Town drive. Leave at four in the morning. Breakfast and refill at either Kimberly or Bloemfontein at about in the morning. Then plant it to either Lainsburg or Drie Susters for lunch and fuel. Last refuel before the tunnel and into Cape Town at sunset.
U guys reminded me of my road trips in India. I used to work n live in Mumbai for 3 years n I did lots of road trips. Once from Mumbai, I flew to Chandigarh n then went on road trip to Shimla n Manali in Himachal Pradesh n back to Chandigarh during winter. I also did a road trip from Mumbai to Goa n return to Mumbai. There were two of my longest roadtrips from Mumbai, one to Cochin n Kovalam in Kerala covering more than 1.5K km each way, d other one to Udaipur n Jaipur in Rajasthan covering more than 1.5K km also each way. In Kerala, I had an amazing backwater overnight experience on a traditional Keralan boathouse. In Rajasthan, I stopped at one of d biggest incredible fort in India. There r many more roadtrips during those years. I can imagine u guys r having such a great time n adventure. 🙂
Thanks for bringing us along. We’ve never been to South Africa. It looks vast. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Wimpy….. wow not seen one of those for a while!!! 🍻
Lovely expose of South Africa and the Jimny, showing that we're not just potholes and powercuts! Am on the verge of getting the 2023 Jumny and this has helped allay some of my concerns re: long trips and speed. (But hey, at my age now I really need slow down on the roads anyway!) Thank you and all the best in your new life down in the 'Mother City.'
guys thank you so much for this amazing video. this reminds me of when me and my wife did this roadtrip. wil definitely doing this drive again. stay blessed
Love you guys💖💖 It so nice to see " What's Up" in your backyard. The beauty that is Johannesburg to Capetown. 😍😍 A beautiful video with a nice musical score. The stables and cottages are stunning. Harriet and I hope to make it there someday. Always, look forward to great videos from the best video editors in the business👍👍 Sending you lots of love and continued success 💖💖 from Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Thank you guys for the video. I intend to ride a motorcycle R1200GS next month from Joburg to cape town. Your video is informative and really fun, cant wait to do the trip. Cheers
Yeah, the OEM speakers have a single cone, tiny magnets and they sound terrible. The bass is very muddy and there's no definition to the treble. Having said that, one of the main problems in the Jimny is that the extra narrow door does not make a great resonating chamber for the bass, so the sound is always going to be a bit flat. Get better speakers but don't spend a fortune, is my advice. I got two JVC 4" two way speakers for AU$50. The magnets in them weigh more than the entire OEM speaker including the plastic moulding. Speaking of which, the OEM speakers have a special moulding/mount because the door is too narrow to mount speakers flush in the metal door panel. I 3D printed a mount for the JVC speakers and it is working out well. Alternatives would be to mount them in the plastic door panel (I didn't want to cut holes in the door though), or get them professionally installed in which case it will be someone else's problem, just don't let them cut up the door panel. There's probably enough room to mount 6" speakers if the installer is clever about it. I'm looking forward to catching up with your travels in the Jimny
One notable difference between driving in SA seems to be the lack of tire carcasses. I noticed in Europe as well. In the USA we always have tire debris from our 18 wheelers on the sides of the roads. Makes pulling over challenging.
wow the mid way place looks awesome. Banana bread mmmm Its been 10 years since I had one. wow the drive looks so nice but long drive for sure. Sea Point ayi ayi ayi you leaving the life guys .😱👍
Seeing this late because I am just planning to do this drive for the first time may you please advise which route you took as I would like to visit the farm house🙏🏽🙏🏽 lovely video
Die video baie geniet, het die vorige een ook gekyk met die jimny wou met vir my een koop vir my vrou vir fun want sy is ook mal verlief op hulle Maar julle het my nou lus gemaak vir road tripping baie dankie goeie content🙌🏻
Should call it Jimny Cricket (as its Electric green) lol, guys sorry to see you got broken into... Im sure that will be all the bad news going forward... good luck from Scotland
@@RhettandClaire ironically it’s India. Where this mode is being made for the world. Speculations are running it will be launched somewhere in 2023. Fingers crossed.
@@RhettandClaire thanks a bunch and speaking of road trip. I recently also did a road trip driving total 3100 kms in 8 days. Traveling across the beautiful landscape of Ladakh. Northernmost part of India. Covered several mountain passes situated at 17000-18000 feet from sea level. It was surreal exp.
Hi Guys, awesome video! Are you able to kindly share the alarm place you mentioned - where they can assist with sound proofing? Would really appreciate it*
Hi Rodney. Thanks for watching our video😃🙏🏼 The alarm was installed at Autotec in Midrand. They also mentioned to me that they can do the soundproofing there. Hope that helps 😊
Such a great and informative video, enjoyed it a lot ! Would like to ask what do you guys think of the jimny’s paint ? Does it get paint chip easily or did u guys wrap/coat the car ? Thanks !
Hi Rhett and Claire! thanks for sharing all your fun adventures. I was just wondering what settings on the GH5 you use for for autofocus. Been wanting to use the GH5 but I can't get autofocus right when I'm trying to vlog by myself. Any advice would be so helpful. Thank you!
Hey! We actually sold the GH5 for that reason and we now use the Sony A7Siii (best camera ever). We just could never get the autofocus to work 100% on the GH5 and apparently it’s not really fixable😭. Sorry we couldn’t help!
Thank you for watching.Car rental is not that cheap but it has become expensive all over the world since the pandemic and parts shortage. To rent a car here got a week would cost +-$250 and then the expenses for this road trip in terms of fuel was roughly $150 and that is to travel 1500 kilometres. Hope this helps:) Currently petrol is priced at R22/litre ($1.26/litre)
@@RhettandClaire Interesting! Yes it's expensive comparing to my country, especially the fuel price, but you guys have definitely better roads, at least based on what I've seen in this video. 🙂
maybe you can explore Europe with JIMMY SUZUKI..IT' s like interesting to do..👍👍 Like Kristian before after visit Indonesia he is explore Europe by his Motor Cycle. Maybe Rhett and CLAIRE can use JIMMY,👍. ✓ you can show another options for Travelling, ...Mostly Traveller use CARAVAN CAR..😁.. 👍
hi, we are planning to do a road trip and will be driving from cape town and returning the car in joburg, Would like to get your thoughts if we should get these window curtains to prevent carjacking or will it make no difference?
Hey! It can make a difference yes🙏🏻. Especially if you have all your valuables in your car and you’re going to park it over night somewhere. Also make sure you have a car alarm😊
@@RhettandClaire Hi, I'm just wondering what's the safest time to depart from Johannesburg. I'm not sure how much it matters, but just want to be as safe as possible.
It’s our first long distance road trip in the Suzuki Jimny! Let us know where you think we should take the Jimny next?
Definitely the Drakensberg! And if you want a more local area then go to the Cedarberg
explore Europe...👍👍 IT'S Will be An Interesting Traveller.. Mostly use CARAVAN car..😁
Hi guys. Can i ask how do you guys do this for a living? It's amazing and want to quit my corporate job and see the world. Please can you direct me in this?
Thanks.
To Indonesia! 🥳
@Barefoot Thanks for the recommendations, we'll check them out!
I love your happy attitude, because as Jimny drivers we say hallo to one another. We are the friendly ones no matter what the others drive. ❤️
Very stunning sky in south africa , just 😯👍
I did this run a few times, thanks guys, it brings back good memories. South Africa is such a beautiful country!
Glad we could bring back some cool memories😀 Thank you for watching🙂
Guys I'm hyped to see these vlogs!!! The Jimny 😍
We’re excited to share them!😁👏🏻
Thanks guys, I get so emotional watching this as an ex south african living in Aus. This land is so beautiful. I do appreciate the video. Much Joy!!!
Hey Garth, we know the feeling, we always miss it so much when we're on the road for extended periods. Come visit, South Africa will always be here:)
I got goosebumps when I saw the big hills, very beautiful. I'm really excited about the next video. Can't wait to see more South African tastes from you guys!

That locust swarm was NUTS!!!

I have to say that I love your style of videography, cinematic editing. Currently bingeing on your content! I could borrow some tricks while at it.😃
The Wimpy food looks great 🍔 and the farm is very beautiful, must be so much hard work to make it that way. A fascinating trip! 🌞
guys thank you so much for this amazing video. this reminds me of when me and my wife did this roadtrip. wil definitely doing this drive again. stay blessed
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching❤🙏
Great content. Thanks for recommending beautiful accommodation along the route. Enjoyed the entire adventure.!

Jimmy Shoes went from Jozi to the Cape 🙌🎉🎉🎉🎉
Looking forward to visit South Africa again.
A beautiful journey and your aerials are stunning
This trip is fun and cool
You should consider deflating your tires to 2 BAR. It makes the drive more comfortable.
Thank you for the tip!😁
Watch from France 🇫🇷 i Côme to South Africa
I hope to visit South Africa again this year.
Amazing RC&J!!

Oh the days when the petrol was R20,42 per litre 😭😭
Check our KZN road trip video from 2020. It was R15😭😭😭
Waiting eagerly for launch of Jimny in my country. Fanboy of it.

Hi Rodney. Thanks for watching our video😃🙏🏼 The alarm was installed at Autotec in Midrand. They also mentioned to me that they can do the soundproofing there. Hope that helps 😊
the autonomic jimny is a little bit gas efficient
Good vidéo
I like that.
Such a great and informative video, enjoyed it a lot !
Would like to ask what do you guys think of the jimny’s paint ? Does it get paint chip easily or did u guys wrap/coat the car ? Thanks !
2 years later: nothing ! 👍🏻 …..better than our Toyota iQ
So far so good. We have not done anything to it, it's just standard for now:)
Really enjoyed this! What was your average speed in the Jimny?
Thanks for the comment 😊 Average speed was between 110-120😊 Can go faster but we were in no rush.
Thanks for a price info, im from indonesia
Saya suka mobil nya 😍💗😎
Woow
Hi Rhett and Claire! thanks for sharing all your fun adventures. I was just wondering what settings on the GH5 you use for for autofocus. Been wanting to use the GH5 but I can't get autofocus right when I'm trying to vlog by myself. Any advice would be so helpful. Thank you!

Wow thank you so much for the reply back! This will have saved me lots of heartache. You are a lifesaver
Kapan vlog di indonesia lagi

One year😊
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks my friend nice for sharing this video 👍 Wellcome my support you thanks
Thank you friend😁🙏🏻
maybe you can explore Europe with JIMMY SUZUKI..IT' s like interesting to do..👍👍 Like Kristian before after visit Indonesia he is explore Europe by his Motor Cycle. Maybe Rhett and CLAIRE can use JIMMY,👍.
✓ you can show another options for Travelling, ...Mostly Traveller use CARAVAN CAR..😁..
👍
Guys what size tip do you give the attendees?
Between R10-R50 depending on what they do to the car😊
@@RhettandClaire ok so what sort of things do they do on the car for future reference?
@@OnlineopticsCoUk mainly fill it up, pump your tires, change the oil and clean the windshield (back and front) 😊
@@RhettandClaire have to make sure I have cash in the car then... thanks for the info guys...
How is the Jimny in the Cape Town wind?
We haven’t experienced any Cape Town wind yet so can’t say😊
Hay quá

Hi just wanted to ask the milage of your Jimmy now? Is it india made or japan already? Thanks!
Hey. It’s 4500km and we believe this one came from Japan.
when are you going to indonesia again? 😀
What's the best time to leave Johannesburg, in terms of safety?
What do you mean by “leave”?😊
@@RhettandClaire Hi, I'm just wondering what's the safest time to depart from Johannesburg. I'm not sure how much it matters, but just want to be as safe as possible.
Where's the pie
How tall is the driver ?
188cm
Jimmy is not a good vehicle for long trips, you should have a ford ranger or Toyota Hilux.
never want to go to SA
😂
