If you've been to the movies lately you may have seen one of the new Auris ads being flighted pre-movie.

These extend beyond the screen and onto the concession stand / foyer area that has prominent branding (see attached pic).

This is not the first time that the Auris has featured at the cinema. See Bizcommunity.com

If you've been following the blog, you'll know that I went to the 7th Round of the Sasol Rally last month. It was an amazing amount of fun and I highly recommend checking this out.

The good news is that the final round of the Sasol Rally is happening this weekend (Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of October). The event kickstarts on Friday morning at East Rand Toyota, which lies just to the east of the East Rand Mall (in Boksburg). The Rally kicks off at 10h00, but be there earlier if you want to have a look at the cars before they get put through their paces.  read more »

Hot off the video presses, heres just a sample of what we saw last weekend. You have to be there to get the full effect though, it's truly amazing.

Well, it's Monday morning and I'm still recovering from a weekend of hardcore rally watching. It was an amazing amount of fun, I highly recommend it. The next round of the rally will be held on the 17th and 18th of October in Gauteng (I will post details as I get them, but so far it looks like it is in Bapsfontein). I highly recommend you come out and have a look, bring the family, bring the skottel, and make it a day.  read more »
