• Porsche Wouldn’t Fix This GT3 RS So A YouTuber Did

  09-07-2026 05:04 via dmarge.com
  
  Buying a used Porsche 911 GT3 RS is supposed to be the dream. Buying one that Porsche itself refuses to repair is something else entirely.
  That is exactly the gamble YouTuber Mat Armstrong took when he paid £87,000 (~$168,000) for a damaged 991-generation GT3 RS that had already been written off by most people.
  Porsche allegedly refused to repair the car under warranty after suspecting the engine wear did not match the mileage shown. According to Armstrong, the company believed a mileage

• The Best Jewellery Cleaners & Polishing Cloths For Gold, Silver And Platinum

  09-09-2026 07:33 via dmarge.com
  
  Nobody warns you about this at the point of sale. Precious metal picks up sunscreen, sweat, perfume, hand cream and whatever is in the water at Bondi Icebergs, and every metal fails in its own way. Gold goes flat and looks like brass, sterling silver tarnishes to something you would find in a shipwreck, and platinum dulls so gradually you assume that is just how it looks now.
  I had a chain sitting in a drawer for two years because I thought it was ruined. It was not ruined. It was dirty, and ab

• Weirdest SUV Ever Becomes Instant Hit, Selling 10,000 In 4 Minutes

  08-09-2026 01:47 via dmarge.com
  
  Xiaomi said on Weibo on Monday that its new Sky Nomad SUV range took more than 10,000 locked-in orders within four minutes of going on sale, which is roughly the time it takes to boil a kettle. The company did not break the number down by variant.
  The Sky Nomad is the phone maker's first move away from pure electric cars, and it is a strange one. Every version runs a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that never drives the wheels, working instead as an onboard generator to top up the battery,

• Jannik Sinner Rocked Up To Monza In A 760HP Wagon And Nobody Noticed The Car

  Sunday at Monza belonged to Kimi Antonelli, who came from 19th on the grid to win his home race and become the first Italian to win at Monza since Ludovico Scarfiotti in 1966. But if you were watching the paddock gates rather than the timing screens, you would have seen something almost as good pull up in Nardo Grey.

• Polestar Drops Australia’s Next Great Wagon Wearing An SUV Badge

  05-09-2026 08:47 via dmarge.com
  
  Polestar has revealed the 2027 Polestar 4 SUV, a taller and more practical second body style for its best-selling model, and it arrives with the one thing the original was defined by not having. The rear window is back, along with a conventional rear-view mirror as standard. The camera-based digital mirror used in the coupe remains available as an option.
  Australian pricing starts at $73,900 before on-road costs for the rear-motor version and $81,750 for the dual-motor, which places the 4 SUV $

• Sky Sport NZ Cops A Roasting For Playing A Gambling Ad Over Jai Arrow’s Final Walk Out

  05-09-2026 06:53 via dmarge.com
  
  Jai Arrow walked out for his 100th and final NRL game on Friday night, flanked by a guard of honour of more than 100 Souths old boys, with You'll Never Walk Alone ringing around the ground and most of the stadium in tears. New Zealand viewers got about three seconds of it before Sky Sport cut away to a gambling ad.
  The ad was for Betcha, and it ran for one minute and 20 seconds. By the time live coverage returned, Arrow was already on the field and the moment had come and gone.

  Leigh Egger works in the hour and forty minutes nobody televises. The change room, before the whistle, where the gap between a good performance and a great one has usually already been decided.
  Egger is Head of Performance for the Socceroos, brought in by Tony Popovic in late 2024 and responsible for the physical side of Australia's 2026 World Cup campaign. Before that, five years running high performance at Feyenoord Rotterdam under Arne Slot. He has also consulted to the Charlotte Hornets, th

• Roger Federer’s Hall Of Fame Speech Is Breaking Grown Men Everywhere

  31-08-2026 07:00 via dmarge.com
  
  Roger Federer walked onto the grass horseshoe court at Newport on Saturday evening in a tan suit, kissed his wife Mirka after she had just introduced him, and worked out immediately that he was in trouble. “Oh man,” he said. “This is very high level and a tough act to follow.”
  He then spent the better part of half an hour losing the fight against his own tear ducts.
  The 45-year-old was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame alongside broadcaster and former p

• At 30, Tom Holland Is Now The Highest-Grossing Male Actor In History

  31-08-2026 06:00 via dmarge.com
  
  Tom Holland has just become the third highest-grossing actor in film history. Only Scarlett Johansson in second and Zoe Saldaña in first sit above him, which makes Holland the highest-grossing male actor of all time, and at 30, the youngest name in the top 10.
  The jump came off the back of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which topped the box office again this past weekend and has now taken more than $2.25 billion worldwide. That puts it sixth on the all-time list and it is still in cinemas. C

  The Ukrainian world No. 11 won her opening round in New York with a diamond-set Aquanaut Luce on her wrist. Almost nobody in tennis does this.
  Watch spotter @niccoloy clocked it first, and once you see it you cannot unsee it. Marta Kostyuk played and won her first-round match at the US Open with a Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce strapped to her left wrist, blue dial, blue composite strap, diamond bezel and all.

• Roger Federer Wore The Loudest Rolex In The Catalogue To His US Open Homecoming

  Roger Federer returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium for the first time since 2019, and he did it wearing the loudest watch Rolex has put in a shop window all year.
  The Swiss is playing a US Open Fan Week exhibition at Flushing Meadows on August 25, a one-set singles match against Andy Roddick followed by doubles alongside John McEnroe against Roddick and Andre Agassi.

• It Took Four Decades, But Patek Philippe Finally Has An Australian Boutique

  Patek Philippe has opened its first standalone boutique in Australia. The Hour Glass unveiled the store at 388 George Street in Sydney on 25 August, on the corner of George and King.
  It's taken a while. The Hour Glass has sold Patek here for close to four decades through multi-brand salons on King Street and Collins Street, but nobody has ever given the brand its own front door in this country.
  The site is bigger in scope than a watch shop. Alongside the gallery and private consultation rooms,

• Rolex Just Turned Second-Hand Watches Into A $385 Million Business

  24-08-2026 12:02 via dmarge.com
  
  When Rolex launched its certified pre-owned program in late 2022, the industry split down the middle. One camp saw a brand finally acknowledging that resale existed. The other assumed Rolex was about to eat its own lunch, competing with grey dealers on price and cannibalising demand for new watches in the process.
  Four years on, that argument is over. According to EveryWatch's latest secondary market report, Rolex Certified Pre-Owned sales grew 101% in the first half of 2026 to USD $385 million

• We Compared a Wise Travel Card Against a NAB Debit Card on Holiday; The Results Were Surprising

  This story was purely on my own whim. Not paid. I took a Wise card and a NAB Visa debit card to Bali for ten days to see which one cost me less. The results were a little shocking.
  I assumed the difference would be the exchange rate. It wasn't. The rates were the same. Out by a cent or two on a coffee, nothing more. The difference showed up two days later, when the NAB fees started appearing in the app.

• Mercedes-Benz Just Revealed Its Latest Wagon And It’s Deeeelightful

  19-08-2026 06:25 via dmarge.com
  
  I have a dog, a couple of boards and a permanent low-grade resentment about the fact that this country decided, somewhere around 2014, that the only acceptable shape for a family car was a two-tonne SUV with a nose like a filing cabinet. So when Mercedes-Benz rolls out a facelifted C-Class and puts the wagon in the studio shot, standing there in Sky Grey looking like it knows exactly what it's doing, I take it personally.Because it is genuinely lovely. And because we're probably not getting it.

• Bali Gyms Are A Game Of Wealthy One-Upmanship That’s Shaping Global Fitness Trends

• Tourists Watched 913 Cars Park And One Luxury Badge Kept Getting It Wrong… But Not By Much

  A new study has put hard numbers on the most reliable argument in any car park, and Mercedes drivers have come out of it badly. Research by global car rental comparison site DiscoverCars.com found that 25 per cent of Mercedes were parked incorrectly, the highest rate of any brand observed.
  Citroen came second on 24.4 per cent, which quietly ruins the theory that this is purely a luxury car problem. BMW landed third on 21.7 per cent, though not a single BMW was found parked in a disabled bay wit
