I reckon that the one thing most people can’t get their head around is what makes the perfect gift. Sure you can buy someone a pair of socks or jocks but while useful they’re not very memorable. You could also buy a bloke something for his car like a mag cleaner or something, but again while useful they’re not really going to look at in in years to come and say, ‘Yeah, wasn’t that a great gift?” Heck, they’re probably not even going to remember it was a gift let alone who gave it to them.

Nope, if you’re looking for the perfect gifts for men then you should consider something that will really rock their socks off, but not necessarily soil their jocks What I’m talking about won’t only make the perfect father’s day gift, it would be perfect for any occasion including birthdays, and would even make a great Valentines day gift.

OK, OK, I’m not going to keep you in suspense any longer, I’m talking about adrenalin.com.au who can put together the perfect package that will ensure your loved one will have an experience he will never forget. I remember a few years back when my cousin came to visit from Italy, and while we took him to all the interesting places in Adelaide, many of which you will find in this blog, the most memorable one was when we paid for his skydiving experience.

I can still remember when he had to sign the form which absolving them from any liability and he asked me what it was all about. Well my Italian isn’t what it should be so the best I could do was to tell him that by signing that he couldn’t sue them if his chute didn’t open and he plummeted to earth. I’m sure he went a little white but he still signed it and he never looked back.

Man, he loved it! We couldn’t shut him up the whole trip back, and then as soon as he got home he had to put the video in so that he could relive the experience. It was definitely the highlight of his trip.

It’s amazing how far the Huyundai has come over the years. I remember when they first hit Australia and people saw them as some cheap import, and in those days that’s pretty well what they were. But that is the past and this is the present and like I said at the beginning of this post they’ve come a hell of a long way.

A survey conducted by Interbrand actually placed them eighth in the world in 2009 leaving Porsche, Lexus and Nissan behind. It’s not surprising that their latest release, the Hyundai i45 sedan is creating such a stir. I myself was amazed when I first saw their new commercial advertising their latest Hyundai sedan. It was pretty amazing. Even though you can see that commercial in this post you may can view the Hyundai i45 on YouTube just so you can read the peoples reviews of the car.

The new Hyundai i45 Sedan is really quite remarkable. The finish is exquisite and the styling is such that it will appeal to a large portion of the market. Not forgetting that many people are worried about global warming the guys at Hyundai have tried their utmost to make sure this car is both fuel efficient and has reduced emissions.

They’ve succeeded in meeting these requirements by giving the i45 features the latest 2.4-litre Theta-II GDI petrol engine with an all-aluminium construction making for a lighter engine. The Hyundai i45 even has an ‘ECO’ monitor system to assist drivers to achieve the best fuel efficiency possible. using this system they can monitor how efficiently the car is running by checking the dashboard display which indicates the current fuel economy thereby allowing them to drive as efficiently as possible.

No matter how much I rave on about this car you just will not be able to appreciate it unless you go to your nearest dealer to check it out for yourself. Naturally the best way to do this would be to take a brand new Hyundai i45 Sedan out for a test drive and only then can you really make up your mind as to how good this car really is.

I’ve had a lot of people comment on the photos I’ve used for this blog as well as my other photo blog and they are all amazed at the quality of those photos. I’ve mentioned on more than one post how much I love my Panasonic Lumix DMC FX50. They’re so surprised to hear that I’ve used a simple point and shoot camera as the quality of the photos belie the size of the camera.

I was so excited to learn there was going to be a LUMIX Life competition where Aussie Lumix photographers can be part of a special project. It’s a competition were Lumix owners can submit a photo taken with their camera as long as it’s main focus is something to do with Australia. Man, this whole blog is about Scenic Adelaide so I’m bound to find something here, and if not I’ll just take another photo.

I was also pretty exited to find that there is a Panasonic Australia on Facebook page where you can read all the comments left from people on their wall. It’s good to see that they do not remove the negative comments, not many of those, as this goes to show the integrity of the company.

the whole thing starts on April the first 2010. This gives those who haven’t any photos that focus on Australia time enough to get out there with their Lumix cameras taking as many photos as they can. What a great excuse to see more of this lovely country that we live in, taking photos of it that will bring back fond memories, not to mention that it could possibly win us a prize.

Yep, there is going to be monthly giveaways as well as a final prize at the end of the competition, but I reckon the best thing would be if my photo was displayed with those taken by the pros like Ken Duncan, Peter Eastway and Bill Bachman

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.

Although born and bred in Australia, seeing as how my parents are Italian, I have 100% Italian blood coursing through my veins. I reckon that and the fact I was brought up on Italian cuisine is one of the main reasons I love Italian food.

I remember growing up as a kid when other kids used to make fun of me because of what I ate. Now it seems that the shoe is on the other foot and more and more Aussies are eating Italian food and one of the most popular ones has to be pizza! What I love about pizza is that you can have it at almost any time, for a complete meal, for a snack while watching a great movie or even when unexpected guest come and you want to give them a good feed.

Now, you can’t always go out for a pizza and there are times when you just can’t be bothered and that’s when frozen pizza saves the day. I’ve always got some frozen pizza sitting in the freezer and now that I’ve heard that Tony’s Pizza is one of the best I’m just going to have to check the local supermarket freezer to see if they stock Tony’s Pizza and if they don’t I’m going to have to ask them why.

Honestly, the worst thing I hate about pizza delivery is the wait, and the followup calls when you’ve been waiting what seems for hours. Then there’s always those occasions when they stuff up the order and you get the wrong one. At least when I rip one out of the freezer I know what I’m getting, and nothing beats the smell of pizza warming in the oven!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hyundai. All opinions are 100% mine.

For those of you who have been to Australia you know that Australia is a land of vast open spaces because of that, petrol being s o damn expensive and all, more and more Aussies are looking for fuel deficient cars. That isn’t the only reason for our search for ‘greener’ cars as we are also concerned about our environment and so many Aussies when updating look for green cars with some sort of green credential.

One such car is the Hyundai Santa Fe and global green challenge wanting to prove that they had the goods and that the Hyundai Santa Fe was a force to be reckoned they entered it into the transcontinental global green challenge.

What better place to hold the challenge in Australia, a country that has proved to be very demanding on it’s cars, and included covering a distance of 3,147 kilometres from Darwin to Adelaide. I can only imagine the jubilation felt by the guys that developed this remarkable car, when it won the SUV class in the challenge. I reckon they were absolutely wrapped with that result.

You have to admit, when looking at the results, completing that sort of distance in the harsh Australian conditions, after seven days of grueling competition, to have consumed a total of just 160.46 litres of diesel with an emission level of only 137.67 grams of CO2 emission per kilometre, well that is pretty remarkable.

It’s not often that  I get the opportunity to write about something positive and that I enjoy, and I just love my cars, and it is important to point out to others who are concerned about global warming how they should consider the following points when choosing their next car.

You want one that is fuel efficient, as this will save you money as well as the environment.

It has to be low on co2 emissions, because the less crap we pump into the atmosphere the better.

The thing is even though many people want to do the right thing, they’re  not always prepared to do it if it will cost them, say a loss in performance. I know, it sounds crazy but there are actually people who will base their judgement on certain criteria like that. I’m sure that was why the guys who designed the Hyundai Santa Fe made sure that whilst reducing the CO2 emission of the car they still maintain, if not improved, the car’s performance.

Anyway, the whole idea of this post is to bring to peoples attention that environment is very important to all of us and for that reason when next choosing a new car they should seriously consider one that has good green credentials.
