Maybe the Juke is a joke but its one that I'm enjoying. I see them on the roads now and like them more!

Just found this!

So it looks like the Juke is also a retro BUT an improvement over the original!

Now, now Tom let's be clear about this. I love Macs.....

They're delicious

But they leave a terrible after taste. Similar to looking at a Juke

They leave more than an after taste.

Come on Rich, I've told you this before, you're not actually supposed to lick them!

The Juke? THAT looks like a Ford Pinto. "The barbecue that seats four"!!!

I kind of like it, Mike. Maintains its form yet pushes the boundaries.

Here's Car of the Year in OZ:

It has been a little wet down here...

Ahhh Andrew joins us! I man of excellent taste!

Yes, but still on PC, Mike...

No one is perfect .... you will get around to the 'switch' in good time

Rich O Brien · 19 Apr 2011, 23:26

Tut tut tut.....

Good taste? This from 'The Mojito Man' and 'The Gin Man'?

Let's get serious here. I'll concede that Macs aren't completely rubbish (they do make good doormats). But for all things sacred at least wipe the crud off your screens and look again at both the Nissan Puke and the VW Brutal.
Or is there something blocking your vision?

This is all your bloody fault!! You had to do it didn't you? Go derail the thread again!

What have taste in cars got to do with owning a Mac? Are Porsche shit cars? Are...... Oh never mind.....!!

tfdesign · 20 Apr 2011, 12:11

I think the problem with 'real men' and Macs is that Macs look too 'girlie'. Am I right or am I right?

Rich O Brien · 20 Apr 2011, 12:45

Do you find it hard to type on a Mac? What I mean is does your apron get in the way? And about the TrackPad, does it work when you've Marigolds on?

I'm after reading that the SatNav on the new Beetle is faulty. Apparently it only seems to bring you back to the place you bought car?

Who'd win in a drag race between a Beetle and a Juke?

Who cares...
