Gavin didn't get to drive his through a Dulux factory, unfortunately.
Let’s be honest, there are certain things women didn’t traditionally do. Like drinking until throwing up on a fern in an Umhlanga hotel lobby or just throwing. Until recently the world of car design has been as male-dominated as a Premier League changing room. But the new Z4 is, wait for it…designed by two women; Juliane Blasi and Nadya Arnaout and fair play to BMW for giving the ladies a crack. I suspect it might be some sort of guilt-laden PC response to all the male chauvinist BMW owners in Ray-Bans and Sasoons who were responsible for 80s divorce rates.
A few weeks back I had a bit of a rant about the typo on soon to be shite Campos F1′s website. I prattled on about all the intimate details that need to be considered in order to triumph in the high-tech world of Formula 1. Boy was I wrong. It seems success is a far simpler task. Read on…
Sheepish unveiling.
Naively, we thought Brawn GP’s sprint then trot and ultimate crawl to the title last year was a once off phenomenon. But it seems they were merely showing the rest of the floundering grid the way to win championships. It’s all very easy.
Youtube. Extraordinary. But most of the time you visit you just end up watching a dog on a skateboard or someone injuring themselves in a humourous way. There is hope though, especially if you’re slightly interested in cars. We’ve gone into Youtube’s archives and pulled the five Most Viewed videos of All Time, in the Autos & Vehicles category. Above is number five, click through for the rest.
Good morning! It’s Friday; I hope you’re not to hungover to realise that. So here’s your Good Morning Its Friday Story. Because of the purchasing decisions of a member of my family I have cause to visit the fantastic BMW Atlantic showroom on Herengracht Road in the Cape Town CBD. This is a wonderful place if you’re a fan of the brand. It goes way past showroom; this is a shrine to all things Bavarian Motor Werkshen-ish.
Anyway, while I was wandering around enjoying a chilled glass of fresh orange and ground cinnamon water, I found this, tucked away upstairs to the service desk. I like that. This is my kind of interior decorating.
Just two weeks ago Toyota offered Raikkonen oodles of cash to put Panasonic on his chest and race for the slightly red and white. Today, Toyota quits F1. Coincidence?
That's what he thought of your offer, Toyota.
This morning’s headline came as a bit of a shock to me. We all knew that the Japanese car industry was in trouble when giants Honda pulled out of F1 and Subaru pulled out of WRC. Colin Mcrae must have 360′d in his resting place.
It took 15 seconds. I’m not even near joking. It took 15 seconds.
Before I get to that though I’d like to talk about the image/perception that exists in most retail stores and brand “equity” that bounds around our modern age. It is devil’s-hand crafted to make you feel inspired and worthy, apparently.
My uncle owns a top-notch, busy little Italian eatery in Seapoint, Cape Town. It overlooks a petrol station and a main road. It has a few tables outside on the wonky paving which are perfectly suited to enjoying a glass of wine and arguing about whatever drives past.
