Cars We Drive!
There's a saying in TV that your best episode should go out on Ep 2. Many people will miss the premier, those who don't will tune in again and all the people who heard the buzz will try out episode 2. I honestly think they took their weakest show and stuck it in slot 1, knowing that everyone...- Blackhood

Cars We Drive!
It was never meant to be insulting - I'm a laggard with cars (buying at the end of production cycles to maximise reliability), and we each have the areas in which we are early adopters (mine is personal tech, my partner's is cameras) It was just an observation that threw me back a decade...- Blackhood

Cars We Drive!
From an academic point of view this thread is like a textbook example of the adoption cycle. Early adopters throwing them selves in, despite drawbacks. The early majority holding back until the drawbacks have been neutralised, and the late majority/laggards not even wading in. I humbly submit...- Blackhood

I imagine it starts by accident. You get a big bonus cheque when you're doing well, and you pick up the new Ferrari, but you don't want to sell the Porsche you've been driving. Now you have two. The winds blow your way and you've got another cheque and you see an E-Type Jaguar and you imagine...- Blackhood

I tend to agree with you on most things, but brand loyalty trumping cognitive dissonance is a fairly well documented thing. I was always taught that as a brand, you build loyalty not because people will love you, but because when you **** up, your customers forgive you instead of defect. I'd...- Blackhood

This isn't a "performance cars we own" thread - I drive a mid range German car because its quiet, fits golf clubs in the boot, and goes quickly when I'm late for a meeting. I don't drill my own teeth, I don't scrub my own toilet, but I believe that I can eat and **** as well as any other man...- Blackhood

I just noticed that this was post number 20,000 in the thread. Seems fitting that it was a post about the history of Porsche, not GF's manlove tendency.- Blackhood

My plan is to end up with a small fun car with a real shifter (some kind of porsche) and a barge for long journeys. The other day I went sailing with friends two hours away. By chance the venue was at the other end of a single motorway. By putting the adaptive cruise control, lane control, and...- Blackhood

There are a few on the streets near me, and in the flesh they're so much better looking than almost any other car at that price point. I'm actually looking at the F-Pace for my father next year, putting it head-to-head with the Q5. To me it's a no-brainer but getting him to change brands after...- Blackhood

Anyone got any recommendations for high quality air fresheners? I'm sick of paper pine trees that smell like chewing gum. I'd gladly pay $20-$30 for a nice sandalwood or leather scent that lasts for more than 5 days, but for the life of me I can't find one.- Blackhood

FYI I got a small VW SUV in June, the Tiguan Diesel. Great little car, and I got it in "Match" format, so it had a few nice toys like auto-dimming mirrors, rain sensing wipers and touch screen nav. I also stumped up for the rear camera and auto park, though I don't use the parking system. One...- Blackhood

I think Volvo are more about practical buyers. If you care enough about cars to go to an Auto Show then you probably aren't the person who wants the dull but well appointed car. Volvo is the leather chesterfield of cars - if it's right for you, you probably know it.- Blackhood

Doctor Who
I've met him a couple of times at events, and he's a really nice guy. Shared a table with him at some charity thing, and he was much more into the stage acting than Doctor Who (though there were a number of other thesps at the table so maybe it was just a more prevalent topic).- Blackhood

Doctor Who
Yeah, I hate the look but it does have some fashion pedigree. I don't know why, but I can't get passed the idea that PC sounds like he's reading a script. Whenever I saw other Doctors in interviews etc, they felt like they were just the Doctor in human clothes. Peter still hasn't been able to...- Blackhood
