Chris Harris on Cars

Tom Howlett — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:04:03 +0000

As you may know, I have a soft spot for cars – mainly for Audi’s, BMW’s and most other fast executive style saloons. For me, there is something really appealing about a car that has quite soft styling but takes off like a rocket when you feel like driving that way. I have never liked cars that are all about the aggressive and shouty appearance. That said, I really like the Nissan GT-R but would struggle to buy one because I don’t really like the “hey look at me, I’m faster than you” appearance. I’d feel much more at home in a BMW M5, Audi RS6 or similar.

Anyway, I will get to the point of this post. I wanted to share some of my favourite Chris Harris on Cars videos. For those of you who don’t know who he is, he is a motoring journalist who writes and makes videos about cars online (I’m unaware if he does much offline/magazine work). He definitely is gifted in the ability to create a great car review and the videos are entertaining to watch. He gets to drive some amazing cars and I want his job. Here are some links to find him around the web:

A Few Months Using the Giffgaff Network

A couple of months ago I decided to move on from my original mobile contract and try out Giffgaff (the community driven mobile network). So far the benefits have been the additional flexibility the network brings (unlimited texts, data and the ability to change my phone more easily and more often), it is also costing me less. There are obviously some downsides as you would expect from a network built on the community structure.

I have written up a full Giffgaff review that you can find using the link.

Welcome to my site

For those of you who do not know me, take a look around the site, there is plenty of information (possibly too much). To summarise, I am currently work as a Digital Marketing Executive for a company called Koozai (specialising in SEO and PPC).

I had a previous site under this domain, initially built as an online profile for my design work. Since I moved into the online marketing world I attempted to realign my site to cater more for my inside online marketer. This started to become a bit of a mess with information related to design and marketing all over the place, on top of this I had a string of unrelated Blog posts, some built for the purpose of a ranking competition with the guys at work.

I decided to start from scratch and build a site more tailored towards my current work and interests. Design is not being left alone though, I hope to continue to talk about this, probably more from a ‘design for the web’ angle.

I will aim to update the site regularly and bring some interesting discussions to the world of Online Marketing.

Tom.
