    Tinting and paint protection day for new car! I got a loan car… It’s a Kia Stonic.

    I think there’s something wrong with the accelerator though, cause you push it down and nothing happens.

        On the one hand, yes. Tiny petrol motor is no comparison to the turbo diesel torque of my work van, let alone EV which I have now acquired a taste for.

        It is a seriously bad accelerator design though. The pedal does practically nothing for the first 60% of travel… Then you push a little further and it kicks back half a dozen gears and revs to a brazilian RPM. There’s no gentle acceleration outside of the fact that “full acceleration” is still fairly gentle.

        Needs a more linear application of throttle.

        I actually don’t mind the vehicle as a whole. Comfortable, good driving position, nice size for carparks but still big enough to stash heaps of gear in. I’d buy an EV version!

          Damn, just poorly designed then, I thought it was the lack of the vehicle being an EV. Oh well, at least you will not need to be showing off in any street races with this car.

    We’re off lads, S01E01 is underway.

    I think this Colonel O’Neill bloke might make a few appearances in future episodes.

      Awwww yissss so good! Legit wish I could watch it all for the first time again haha

      My current re watch is done when flying only ATM, so taking me a while to get through but a strange almost Pavlovian response to flying now in a good way, which is good because I usually hate flying.
