Hey, who said blog posts had to be useful? But there’s a couple more after the jump, if there’s something wrong with you.
This Week’s Ride: 2010 Volkswagen Golf GTI
February 2nd, 2010 | Author: van | Filed under: autos | No Comments »
As a motoring journo, I get to kick around in some pretty special cars. It’s not the highest paying gig in the world, to be honest, so it’s perks like these that make it worthwhile. (until it comes time to buy a house, and then getting to drive nice cars becomes fairly useless to you!)
Because I’m TMR’s News Editor, I don’t do many reviews anymore. Running the news simply takes too much of my time as it is, so squeezing in a review each week is more than I can take on. Because of this, I usually only get the cars for a day or two.
This week, I’ve been lucky enough to get my hands on the latest generation Golf GTI, thanks to Volkswagen Australia being only too aware of my obsession with the new Golf.
Three Years in a Row? Criminey…

I’m not 100 percent sure that I understood correctly, but… I think I’ve been invited to the 2010 Australian F1 Grand Prix in March. Is it still in March? Heck if I know…
And it’s all thanks to Craig Lowndes and that bloody Roary the Race Car. It’s no Thomas the Tank Engine, but then I guess Thomas could never get me invited to the F1, either.
Man, that makes three years in a row. I don’t even LIKE F1 all that much. But I DO like walking around and checking out all the classic cars and retired race cars on display around the outside of the track. So that’ll make it worth it.
Now, I just need to find out if I was actually invited or if I completely misunderstood!
We Went Away Boys, And Came Back…

Boys that needed a shower and a damn good sleep.
Here’s a few simple photos from a recent weekend away with my fellow motoring scribes. As you can see from the shot about, we took a Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Discovery 4 and a Jeep Wrangler off on a weekend of bashing around the Victorian countryside. ‘Twas as good a weekend as one can ask for, to be honest.
A few more shots after the break.
Looking For Design On A Small Budget?
December 13th, 2009 | Author: van | Filed under: design | No Comments »
Hey folks,
In the hunt for a little extra cash in 2010, I’m shooting myself in the foot and offering a special deal! My foot’s killing me, but your wallet will thank you. (How’s that for a catchy line, eh?)
What’s this deal about then? In simple terms; I will create for you a business logo and business card design for $300.
Please note, however, that this is a phenomenally cheap rate for a professionally designed, scalable and print-prepared identity design and business card combination. Unless you go to a fresh-out-of-university design graduate or one of those Indian logo websites, you won’t find a designer with my years of experience offering a deal like this.
So the question becomes: what is your businesses’ identity worth to you? After all, it’s often the first impression your potential customers get of your business - so why not make the right impression? That’s worth spending on.
