You same day courier service and I know Porsche as a company dedicated to building enthusiast same day courier service vehicles, like t he razor-sharp 911 GT3 that won our annual Performance Car of the Year award . But to the general public, Porsche drivers have, well, a bit of an image problem, coming across as rich, snobby, entitled, same day courier service or worse. Ooh! Media , an Australian ad agency, has a smart billboard with a nifty trick that, while it involves some interesting tech, will do nothing to improve Porsche drivers' social status: When it senses same day courier service a Porsche driving by, it displays a unique message aimed at stroking said P-car driver's ego. Which, many would say, is the last thing the typical Porsche owner needs.
When a Porsche isn't gracing the traffic flowing under the digital billboard, it displays a series of standard ads, including one touting the Porsche 911 to potential buyers. Nothing out of the ordinary here.  same day courier service
See, a camera located some 320-odd yards ahead of the billboard scans the flow of traffic, trained to pick out Porsches among the plebes. When a Zuffenhausen sporting machine is detected, the digital billboard switches to the custom-tailored message for 10 seconds.
Then, once the anointed German sportsmachine has passed, the billboard reverts to its normal state, scrolling dull, unreactive ads aimed at grim-faced commuters in their non-Porsche conveyances. Life returns back to normal.
It's an interesting bit of technological same day courier service showmanship, no doubt requiring some seriously same day courier service powerful software to pick out Porsche's iconic, nearly-unchanged-through-six-decades profile among the commuting masses. Though we do have a few questions: same day courier service Does the billboard detect Porsche's SUVs as easily as its sports cars? What of its older models, like the long-nosed 928 or the slightly gawky 914? Would a Volkswagen same day courier service Beetle, old or new, trick the billboard into displaying the message same day courier service meant only for the eyes of Porsche drivers and those lucky enough to be driving next to them?
Sadly, most of us will never learn the answers to these pressing questions. The Porsche-detecting billboard will only appear one place in the world: On the road leading to the Melbourne Airport in Australia. The billboard's fine taste in German automobiles will only be activated for five days starting on January 10th.
