From mint media

I found these two in an issue of INFO: Information, Ideas and Hints for New Zealanders in their 20s and 30s. First Edition. Published by Burnham House Publishing Limited. 1982/1983.

Peter Sinclair is the endorsement for a "delightful new wine style". Take a moment to read the copy - it's been a while since i've read such a calculated piece of groupthink. Perhaps this is more obvious in retrospect, but interesting to note the cultural change in the attitude to wine since the 80s.

My first car was a Ford Laser - a similar model but cooler than this one (4 door), but sharing the same metalic grey/brown theme in body colour (and interior). The laser was a tidy little car which was quite cheap to run.

Notice the emphasis on the word Ritzy: "...enjoy the that fabulous Ritz-of-the-road feeling when you show it to your friends". The angle is clearly conspicuous consumption - a call to action that seems bizare looking back at the Laser today.
