Ciao! Today in Hobart, the Italian community put on their annual Festa Italia and the one car club I’m still a paid member of, Club Motori Italia, were asked to provide some Italian rolling stock to beautify the street. Although I don’t have an Italian car anymore, I figured it might be fun to go(…)
New Koenigsegg website now online
That website work I mentioned a few days ago? It’s now online. Over the last few weeks I’ve had the good fortune of being able to work with the guys from Koenigsegg on their new website, which went live last night. They’ve launched the new site as a prelude to them unveiling some new 2013(…)
Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun.
Consider this kind of like the old TS/SU Snippets posts…. —— It’s been a week since I’ve last blogged. I think this is quite possibly the longest unenforced break that I’ve had from writing in seven years. It felt a little strange, yet somehow quite relaxing. That’s not to say I’ve been idle the whole(…)
Un-resolutions update
Back at the start of this revolution around the sun, I made some New Year’s Un-Resolutions. I’m pleased to say I haven’t faltered on any of them yet, though one’s looking a little shaky. I’d like to report on one in particular, not because I think it’ll be of particular interest to anyone, but mostly(…)
All the car ads from Superbowl 2012
Here they are….. all the car-related ads from this year’s Superbowl. —— Bridgestone I – Bridgestone usually do some good stuff and they even featured a Saab a few years back IIRC. This one features a football. —— Volkswagen – The Dog Strikes Back – No, it’s not Vader Kid, but I still enjoyed it.(…)
Ford hands GM a win in Superbowl ads game
It’s not that often that three of my favourite things converge in such a significant way, but The Superbowl is just such an occasion, combining sports, cars and advertising in a way that few other events can. I haven’t watched all of the car ads from the 2012 game yet. Unlike the locals, we Australians(…)
A must-read story about the Saab Museum
Pierre from Charles River Saab has posted a wonderful story on the CRS weblog today. Having been the recipient of a similar favour in the last few years, I found myself smiling non-stop as I read this. And as a post-script, if I’m guessing the dates correctly, this might well have happened on my last(…)
Heading home
It’s time to head back to the Land of Oz. I’m not sure when I’ll be back close to Sweden, but hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later. I miss the place already. My thanks to everyone who’s been so kind to me on this trip. I have a lot to write about when I(…)
Lunch with Erik Carlsson
I haven’t even scratched the surface of everything that’s happened on this trip. It’s been one highlight after the other and I’ve been so busy that I’ve hardly had any time to update the site. I’ll get around to sharing (almost) all of it here in due course. I had to take a little time(…)
