Yes but with a smaller battery. A mere 2.1kWh.

I'm very sorry but I'm quite liking this so far. Nissan Qashqai e-Power. It's like an electric car but without the cables.

This makes us so happy!

Oh my. Almost teary about this one. We've somehow cultivated the most accessible car show I think.

Yup. That'd a lot of steps! Literally running the show at times. Bit achy today...

Indeed it is. I was wrong and it was renamed because Rancio is the name of tasteless army rations!

I did. Working on the 95MY Disco 1 facelift.

Oh yes. The plan is to take it back to Daytona Beach next year, then Pebble Beach.

A modest scattering of stuff from another excellent #Rustival

Hats off to @hubnut.bsky.social @misshubnut.bsky.social @mattfd.bsky.social and everyone else involved. It's quickly established itself as a must-attend show.

Missed this entirely! What a day.

Did the Disco 1 make it officially to America?

The speed record Sunbeam is currently having its second engine rebuilt at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu. Twin 22.4-litre Matabele V12s! Next year is its 100th anniversary of cracking 200mph.

That is a Series II. Boring old wiper geek here spots that detail immediately. Oddly the original brochures for the Series II show it with the earlier wipers. I'm fun at parties...

We appear to be some way from capacity! Very verso-tile.

Ah bad luck. Whip the pads out. That'll fix it. (Don't do this)

I didn't say he was a decent bloke. But Orban definitely wasn't either.

Kia PV5 - is it the ultimate family wagon? 500-mile test YouTube video by HubNut

My review of the Kia PV5 is now available to view. 500 miles in a weekend with help from the family. youtu.be/bMuJcmimRxk

Bit too busy self-sabotaging with pretty much every one of my cars at the moment! Food for thought...

Taking stuff swings things in favour of the car. Flights start cheap but by the time you've added luggage, not so much.

But the way things are looking, no guarantee the flight WILL be running, and with EES, no guarantee I'd actually make the flight. A relative was minutes away from missing their flight yesterday due to EES.

Planning the next house visit. World circumstances don't make it an ideal time for a flight, especially when you mix in the chaos of the EES passport stuff. But it's a big old drive, and takes several days, with fuel prices on the rise and Trump still ruining things. Dilemma.

Well done Hungary. I hope things improve for the LGBTQ+ community over there now.

Me: We should do Sakura season next time we go to Japan.
Her: We've got Cherry Blossoms at home.
Me: Oh shit, so we do.

That's good news. The Kia isn't as bad as some but still got one wrong after I'd been driving it for about two minutes. 20mph on a side road.

Rather than consider that possibly the tech isn't fit for purpose, I bet the legislators are just looking to make it even more difficult to turn these useless systems off.

I've set the customisable button to bring up the "safety" options so I can turn the speed limit "assist" off completely. This legislated nonsense is a constant source of frustration. You have to do it every time you start the vehicle! How did this get approved?

In the Kia PV5, I've got used to holding the mute button to kill the speed limiter warning sound (because it's often wrong) and pressing the lane departure warning because that does not work on rural roads. Sadly it's less easy to turn off the chime for a speed limit change. THAT is annoying.

Have Honda again launched an EV that's great to look at but not actually useful?

Saying goodbye to the Avensis today. Served us well. When wet, it even looks like it's one colour! It is in fact several shades of red and pink...

Is it?! Oh gawd! Busy busy!
