The Chery Tiggo 4 is one of the cheapest SUVs you can buy. It undercuts the equivalent Toyota Yaris Cross by more than $10,000. Let’s be frank. If you’re considering buying a Chery, it’s probably because you want a brand-new car, but don’t have a lot of cash to spend. Hey, there’s no judgement here. Some people want a recognisable brand with a bit of history, and will happily buy second-hand to get it.

Generally speaking, car racing is not a glamorous sport. If you’re a normal punter (and not one of the chosen few in a corporate box) it usually involves sitting on dusty hills, sweating in the sun and eating food predominantly served on sticks. Fashion – if you could call it that – begins and ends at cargo pants and sensible hats. Which is fine. MORE: Glamour at the Grand PrixCasa Ferrari at the Australian Grand Prix.

Last week I found myself sitting opposite a good-looking man in a nice wine bar in Darlinghurst. He'd chosen the kind of place you'd only know about through a recommendation - it was hidden in an alleyway and down a narrow flight of stairs. The conversation was easy and pleasant, he spoke comfortably about his work, his family. Eventually we moved on to the topic of travelling. I heard about his trip to Vegas with friends and how they had visited a couple of enormous clubs.

A few weeks ago I went to a doctor about something I've been putting off for around a decade. I don't have a regular GP, so I perused through faces on the local clinic's website, trying to decide which doctor had the least judgmental face. I eventually chose a woman around the same age as me. She looked like someone you'd be introduced to at a book club. At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, she and I exchanged pleasantries as we walked down the hall and into the consult room.
