Fair enough. If it suits your needs, has that little bit of extra and you can afford it, why not? I'll admit that the makeover looks much better than previous versions. It's still a polished turd It's a shame you can only drive ridiculous fast and safe on the German Autobahn. It was a real pleasure driving there to Austria this winter.
Btw, why u no Audi anymore?

I owned an Audi RS4 back in 2007, and it was a great car, but I don't want another Audi. I don't think ever. Test drove an R8, and it was just another Audi. The RR Sport is nice, but like the BMW, they are still just standard 4x4's. The Cayenne is just on another level once you step inside. Yeah, it's not a great looking car, but I think it looks nicer than the new Range Rover models, and it definitely looks nicer than previous Cayenne models.
I looked at a GTR, SL500, 911, R8, and for once reason or another, I kept coming back to the Cayenne. It's the fact that I can load all of my shoot equipment in the back, and then still lap Nürburgring in under 8 minutes. WITH the babyseat still on the backseat

Nice Just on the roof like..? Noticed a few delivery trucks that do this, seems like a good idea if you have a hybrid / full on electric car.
Or am i being silly and do you mean you installed some on your roof at home?
You're a bit silly sir, only students from the TU Delft ride cars with solar panels
I've got 26 black panels installed on our horses' stable. It cost way less than sypos' camera

I have never claimed it was a beautiful car! But then, the Panamera looks awful, but I think it looks awful in a kind of nice way. That's how I see the Caymen.
My RS4 had a lot of soul for an Audi, but you'd pick an M3 over it any day - hence why I don't even bother considering Audi's anymore. There'll always be an equivalent German car from a different manufacturer that's better.
Thats a bit of a myth, by the way. I was having this exact discussion the other day with Nicky West, the rep for the south east of England, and she, nor Paul Waterworth, who is head of customer relations for the whole company, can recall a single time Hasselblad have ever given a camera away for free. They don't know where the myth originated, but say it probably grew from the ridiculous discount you are offered if you switch from PhaseOne to Hasselblad. There was a point where they would pretty much take your Phase and just swap it for the equivalent back. This is in the days of the H3.
If a photographer told you Hasselblad gave it to him/her for free, they're lying. Testino paid, Perou paid, everyone pays.
They do give huge discounts as an incentive for you to go with them over Phase, too. I got mine with £5k off list price, and they threw in a 100mm 2.2 into the bargain, which saved me £7500 in the end.

Ah, right.
Also, you have a horse stable? Ffs
When I got a job at another hospital the deal was that my girlfriend would move with me. Including her horses.
So we found a beautiful place in the Veluwe with plenty of space for the horses.
I'll post a pic some time (if Kracus posts a photo of his GTI)

Jesus, sounds like you're living the dream - that's awesome.

You're doing fine yourself!
Life's not too shabby. Luckily it's not all work and no play.
He does, because without any photographic proof whatsoever, people still believe him.
No he doesn't. I don't care if you believe me or not.
This isn't about proving I own something, it's to prove a lot of you treat other people with absolute disrespect and in a condescending manner for no reason whatsoever. It's ignorant, rude and just plain childish. It's a form of bullying but ultimately it's just your own insecurities causing you to lash out at the easiest target you can find and I'm a pretty easy target since a lot of you feel it's completely acceptable to just shit on me whenever you feel like it.
As a result I know who I can respect and who I wouldn't even give the time of day to on these forums but I don't feel the need to aggressively harass those I don't like they feel they have to do towards me but you know... It shows a lot of peoples characters even if they aren't talking to me in person.
Anyone that wants to talk about anything other than a GTI honestly. I mostly post here to let people know about games coming up, beta's, demo's etc. I used to post pseudo science / stoned afterthoughts or what have you but I stopped cause I was tired of being bashed for posting it.
I don't care about your houses and your cars and your boats. Don't get me wrong, Saturn looks like he's got a pretty nice place but you know... horses fucking suck man. That's gotta be a pretty good piece of ass he's getting to put up with fucking horses but I don't really care. His life and mine are two completely different situations and backgrounds I suspect. Maybe he wasn't thrown across rooms when he was 5, maybe his dad didn't shoot himself in the head when he was 10? I don't know but we all have different problems right? Not saying everyone's had an easy life either and that only I've had shit happen in their lives but still, I don't go around trying to make you feel bad for being here for no reason.
