Week Three: In Which I Try To Get Organised

It’s supposed to be ‘˜The Most Depressing Monday of the Year’ today. So don’t feel it’s just you if you are a little flat this gloomy and misty Monday morning! I do have a backlog of boring stuff to do (like admin) but am getting better up to date on the cool stuff and shall be getting at some more reviewing in due course. As the year starts up, I muse about how each community has its own yearly cycle. Be it Chinese, Jewish or Hindu, New Year is at differing months but no less celebrated. Hell, I celebrate Diwali with eating heaps of my wife’s best mate Roshanara’s seasonal snacks..(And it’s all obscenely calorific YUM!)
And ‘˜proper’ motoring writing is no different. For whereas in Consumer Electronics, we get Christmas a week or so late by the CES show in Vegas every January, the biggie year-definer for car writers in Europe, is the Geneva Motor Show. This is from the 3rd to 13th March next and after then is when I get my stab at the mainstream.
All sorted bar the shouting, I will have a seriously high end standard to try to attain as the publication is ace at being the ‘˜Most Informed’ and gets a lot of spy shots of new cars and regularly gets stories picked up by the Nationals. My stuff will have to be cogent and informative about electronics their readers will have had little idea of but find relevant. So, all no-holes upgrades and how to beat the OEM offering with better quality, for less money and nil detriment to the car or its warranty.
And lastly, I just tweeted about how much I want to run a death test of ten inch subwoofers and the FB-ers are getting excitedfollow me @TheAdamRayner link
