Technology is a wondrous thing - from ridiculously large television sets to cool tricks like Bluetooth audio streaming in the car, things are moving ahead at an alarming rate.
Remember back in the dark old days before the internet even existed? We all had VHS tapes of great racing stuff and shady copies of awesome videos like Rendezvous that were shared between mates and traded like Fonterra shares when the milk goes bad.
That era has thankfully long since passed, and now we can troll through YouTube watching mad AE86s drifting on Japanese mountain roads, rallying history from Heatway to Helsinki, Fangio's greatest moments at the F1 wheel and idiots crashing their AC Cobras to our hearts' content. No cheques posted to the other side of the world and a three-month wait to get the latest flick - these are good times to be a revhead with an internet connection.
Here at Driven we are often guilty of trolling the web for good, stupid or crazy car vids - it's all for research boss, honest it is - and figure that the best way to share them, and other interesting goings-on is by joining the Zuckerberg juggernaut. Our Facebook page is now live (search DrivenNZ) and we'll be using it to show you some of the fun stuff we're getting up to, giving away some flashy prizes and sharing other snippets from the motoring world at large.
Don't worry, we're not in the business of annoying people with endless posts about what type of cereal we had for breakfast, what we think of John Key and will never, ever, post baby photos. It's a great way of getting a sneak peek of what's going on, as well as a good place to have conversations with like-minded folk about the things that are important to us. Like cars.
