The Good Guide | Summer 2014 | Edition 26 by The Good Guide

....................................................................................................................................................... As Spring Sprung, Summer will Sizzle! Every Summer has a story. Let’s make a memorable chapter together. Get your drink on. Be good at it. No regrets! It’s that time of year you fine sexy people, when days are longer, hair lighter, tans darker, water warmer, drinks colder, music louder, nights longer and life just gets better. Brisbane’s heating up and we’ll give you the local tips to pool parties, BBQ’s, bikinis and boardies. When after work is just the start of your day and warm evening breezes invite you to stay for just ‘one’ more. Weekends are social and often planned in advance, your diary is full - drinks, party, then dance (throw in a dirty romance?). Saturdays are not the only nights spent out and Sundays have sessions. Yeah, that’s what it’s about! Yes Brisbane, we do HOT so damn well. Late nights, bikinis, short shorts, thongs (all kinds), sunnies, beaches, no make-up. We love it! Breakfast or bloody mary cocktail hour can start any time of the day and always pop into that pool party on your way to the next event. You’re in demand. The hottest venues in town have popped up and it’s all about experiencing your local. It’s your time. You have THAT glow. We’re going to take you down new-memory lane. Insta, facebook... we’re social. We fit into your iphone, and promise to show you a good time any day of the week. Legs out. Colour on. Party season or do what you wanna. To chill. Or fit the bill. Either one works for us. From sleek to damn cheek, all that’s required is energy to give it y’all. Plan it. Pick your crew. The Good Guide is all about YOU. It’s playtime, let’s misbehave. See you poolside!

SEXY SLEEK DRIVE

Refined sophistication and performance that oozes class and style.

Infiniti Cars, located on central James Street in the Valley and concept stores in Westfield Garden City and Robina Town Centre is a luxury car dealership like no other. The uncommon, but precious harmony between grace and strength is one present in very few car models. Each vehicle is engineered, designed and refined to transform raw power into smooth, sleek, and sexy performance. Infiniti defies convention. Infiniti abhors convention. They don’t want their customers to merely drive an Infiniti, to merely use it as a primitive tool to get from A to B. They want you to feel at home in it, relish the agile handling, the responsive steering, and strong acceleration from every V6 and V8 engine.

Infiniti cars are performance luxury vehicles like no other, and more than that, they’re drivers’ cars. Drive one today and you won’t ever go back to anything other than Infiniti. Like Buzz Lightyear says…’ To Infiniti and beyond’…
