Sydney Apple Store

The first official Apple store opened in Australia on the 19th June 2008 in George Street, Sydney. Conveniently it was just down the road from the hotel I always stay in when visiting Sydney so I wandered down the other night to check it out.

It’s hard to miss! The front entrance is totally enclosed in glass with a massive Apple logo lit up that I could see from the front of my hotel. Three storeys of Apple goodness. I didn’t have my camera on me but I did have my trusty iPhone! Here are some photos:

Why Robin shouldn’t have an iPhone

I feel sorry for my good friend Robin. He dropped his iPhone 3G almost a week after he got it and this was the end of result. Doh!

The need for speed

Last week I noticed that the local import car dealer had a Mitsubishi Evolution 7 in their yard. It’s French blue in colour with few kilometres on the clock, Recaro ‘blue stitch’ seats and interior, and a very clean, well kept exterior. I was disappointed when I saw images of the new Mitsubishi Evolution X last year. Truth be told I’ve kept a close eye on each release since the incredible Evolution 6. For a 7 year old vehicle it still looks like its just off the showroom floor and with low kilometers I was instantly attracted.

So after working my ass off for the last 12 months I thought it was time for a reward. The paperwork has been signed and sealed!

Check out one of my all time favorite videos from the ever popular Top Gear showing the Evolution 8 taking on a Lamborghini Murcielago around the track.
