oh, ready knows? well, come to take, told me about hackers and paralyzing between your societies. computers . i know some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can work for that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. oh, actually that, that's the ad m r is 89 years old and as unbreakable as this taxi lebanon nano is from. so i so, and a trailblazer in the spinning scene. and the contest is on the road with the or a funky cas and compare the electric car to the mini right now on reds

with you could think today's test car is a mini but it's not. instead it's the are off funky kid. and on user a companion, that's what they call make a claims, and we'll pull that to the test right now. welcome to ref. the oral brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. great wall motors, one a chinese oldest major car makers. the are a funky cat deliver $127.00 kilowatts of power and for a car that is rather small, that feels rather sporty. so if you press the gas, pedal egos fall off pretty fast. it has the ability to go from

0 to 100 killed and in a little more than 8 seconds. and the top speed is kept at 160 kilometers now, which is more than enough for every day driving, especially in the city or 4th, but also all the german, audubon. you could use that car because you have a lot of places. well, there is max of 130 kilometers an hour. so this car can handle that without a problem. the the ra funky cat is available with 2 different battery sizes. the entry level version 48 kilowatt hour, and the big 163 kilowatt hours. that will give you a range of either 310 kilometers or $420.00 for the bigger one. and that is quite some range for such a small ca, especially if you plan to use it mainly in the city where small cars have their

whole. basically, that is more than enough to take you to your workplace the whole week before you need to recharge the cost. that's quite nice. i the 1st thing that came to my mind when i saw the or a funky cat is it somewhat looks like a mini, ah, and the mini is also available in the purely electric version. and you wouldn't believe it. the mini s, the cheaper car comes into the wrong $35700.00 euros for the base for and in germany. and this caught the funky kid starts at around 38900 euro's so quite a bit more the,

the laura still is the better car. let me explain why. the mini has a very small battery. we talking about around 36 kilowatt hours of usable energy, and that will give you a little more than 200 minutes of range. and that is virtually nothing compared to 310 kilometers. you get in the entry level version of the aura. so are on 100 kilometers more, that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car. and our funky can also have a lot of things that come standards that you will not find in the many standard equipment includes v leather seats, a $360.00 degree camera, and a bunch of driver assistance systems. first thing you notice when you sit in the

interior, the car does not have a start stop button. instead it will light up once you get inside. and you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it to deal with this knob right here. it's a turning up now or the other call that don't have a start stop button. and once you're finished, you simply press p, get off the car, lock it, and then it will turn off. instead, you could also press a button that is right here behind the steering wheel that shuts down the car as well. but there is no need for that. you can simply get out and close it. i know its look at the interior, you have 2 screens. one with the instrument cluster and the other one is infotainment and everything else. it is not that big. and as i'm sitting here right now it is not that good to reach, but it's touch operated. so i did a little small for touch operation, but don't worry, you can also use most of the functions with a voice assistant and that voice assistant if either operate by saying hello and

then the name of the brand, i won't do it because it will then power on or you can give it your own name if you have a name that you always liked, you can program it in. and then you can say things like mike: yes on he can you open the window for me? okay, opening. ah, that does will only work with the pre record of things. so things to con. no, it's some sort of artificial intelligence. this car will learn from what you're saying. and then it will be able to, for example, put on the climate or open the window. busy without you saying do this, i'll do that, but simply by saying that you're hard, but you need to be aware of the fact that if you choose a name, that sounds a little bit like something else. for example, you're talking about the drake. once that's what happens. so to the name that is not very common in the language you're using,

the dual screen set up comes standard for the voice assistant is not only work for things inside of the car. hey mike, i'm listening open the trunk which is pretty practical, for example, in the winter when it will be dirty and you don't want to get your hands dirty, can use it. or if you have hands for can use it as well. talking about the trunk, it can fit up to $850.00, a leaders with the receipts fall down. if you bring them back up, you're left with $220.00 a leaders which is not exactly huge as you can tell, but it's still enough for you. a week the grocery shopping the general driving impression in this car is pretty nice. it is silent in the interior. as i mentioned earlier, it also has a nice acceleration. of course,

it's not a sports car, but you can go. busy into curve a little faster then with some other cars. the thing i really like in this car is the suspension. it does a very good job of giving you a relax comfortable drive, and this is not a usual thing. you will find in cars in that small car segment, ah, a big i don't really like about the funky cat is the maximum charging speed and that is 64. busy kilowatt now, considering that is a small car, it is only a minor drawback because small cost, as i mentioned, you will not want to use them regularly for long distance trips. so you will also not be in the need of recharging your car. it will charge it at home with your wall box, ideally, or your workplace,

and then you have the time because either you will be sleeping or you will be working. so that's no problem, but a would be better if it could charge you a little faster because there are other costs and then segment that can do that with, for example, $100.00 kilowatt. ah, the aura funky can also comes with different dr modes, but what i find rather strange is that the button for it is found right here on the left, on the steering wheel where you usually found the light on all the cars. and if you press it, you will get acoustic feedback and you can change between 4 modes, or basically 3 modes, sport, eco, and norma. you can also put it into all. busy then the car will choose the appropriate knowledge for your style of driving. further assistance is provided by blind spot assist. traffic jim assist lane keeping 8 and more. all of these come as

standard or i'll put a lot of effort in this car and you can also see that by the result they've got in the euro and kept crushed as because it was one of the best we could in the small vehicle segment that has ever been tested? ah, the aura, funky cat is definitely a funky car, especially with its unique and new features. for example, the voice assistant. i really liked it. it's learning. it's customizable. it's pretty cool. the design is quite cute. not exactly what i would buy for myself, but i'm quite sure this car will find a lot of friends just like the mini did. the only thing i'm a little concerned about is the price tech, because as a chinese manufacturer coming to a market that already has a lot of other cars in that segment. and then having a call that is a little. busy more expensive might alienate people before they realize that there

is quite a lot in this call that you get for the money i own all the funky cat is a very good alternative to the courage. many electric, smart voice assistance, a decent range and adequate space in the interior make it a suitable everyday contain. on the downside, the charges slowly has limited trunk space and a fairly high price. to move in a 1000000 kilometers, business is taxi and lebanon is truly unbreakable. i'm the oldest cab driver around here. i would i have driven here since around 1955. the mercedes w 110 is 60 years old and if the driver omar is going strong at 89, g legend is always on the move in back. who knows lebanon with

we jump in for a ride, with a veteran cab driver, and is the machine i got a good one, even though i'm our most is the longer the level, the pays. no one dares to home. get him. i learn how to drive that we were talking around here. everyone loves me. truth is everyone loves each other here than we're sitting together at a festival. and they said all more now, when you are the king of the district record, that's how it was

a medical by how many i can say that i love everybody. everybody loves me by god's great a i had when i was 21 in 1955, i got my drivers license and then started working as a taxi driver. we have at the 1st here in the region that i moved. and then further away with that that i'm moving very well and we've traveled everywhere and i'm and, and with the customers often came up to me and asked me that program. will you drive me to stumble this back to the serious? great, that's it. the old laugh from whole that i always say yes or that that ra rather read. it isn't just law. his traveled far and wide,

so to has his mercedes. the w 110, built between 196168 was particularly popular with cabbies because of its reliability, comfort and large trunk. easy to recognize thanks to its short tail, sends an image to american cause of the sixty's value hidden with no. this car's my sweetheart. i'm with the engine. it's very old. i got a lot of really good at least 40 years old. had that is our new and that that blood runs the wound a how many kilometers has it run? has that to me? i was in turkey with it. i went as far as it stumbled. look, will you look like this car is all original. i haven't changed a thing for them. it's simply runs. it's a wonderful car. with this,

my regional upholstery, i left it as a one shuttle guy who had been these are tools and spare parts, in case something happens when i draw as, as low as about about mature mother. of course i need them. the mother of her goblet, i'm independent, is all more than me and he will and says he bought the car in 1975. he claims only thing is original except for a replacement hood ornament. i prefer the mercedes and i'm not gonna be available because i've tried and i've tested it. i tried a toyota, which is also good to have a good fit. i used to have a toyota crested in, but that didn't stick with me to lie. right. but i just never sold this machine is

not it's simply not for sale. yeah. no, nobody is selling his car or what's more important cars or women? i well it's absolutely clear. i go out there for me. yes. the car. you know, i have a big guy, i feel good in here and everything. just feel as right, absolutely. i'm a few people and that's why omar has been on lebanese roads for decades. he knows them like the back of his hand. and then that's normal. that seems quite often, you know, a should learn how to drive my brother the bad bad form with for i guess that's why the car was acting up with

that when the tank's empty, it's like this. they are around $40000.00 registered taxi drivers in lebanon. many without driver's licenses, they will banking the severe economic crisis and the high cost of field in the country. but once we field this, the saudis is on the move again with good, very good. good. i'm good. hello. mm hm. although it's been 10 years since omar officially retired, he still drives his taxi, and people still want to ride with

them. for i love the streets of lebanon on special, but tough to rain morale, balloon levin. know people don't care well, trotted room and bound. there's an accident. nobody cares. nobody out. like, you know, that's why you need solid, strong cars, like the old classic cars. allow that otherwise you won't be able to handle the bad roads. a m r and his mercedes are definitely up to the challenge to legends from back in lebanon, much made in heaven and fondly called the king of came with a. ready

my name is dan, keep badly. i don't know if i should say i've got a whole lot of adrenalin rhyming in my veins or to say that i'm b ellis. i'm afraid, but then i thought about that i can do it. i can do it, i can do it. and then i see myself doing it, you know, just that that's all in the mind of the mental me ah ah, you come around. yeah. and the crowd. so happy to see you, you know, and like we will actually pay my need to come and see me guys, you know, and it's so much fun more than anything. it's all about the fun. it used to be 100 percent male dominated. we've got a lot of females getting into the sport now,

and i'm very happy to see that there are more and more women getting into the streaming industry every week with great. she's catching on very quickly. and i think she's, she's becoming a force to reckon with both amongst the drive and amongst the girls feel so much. i look up to that just as the number like as a person in general, it will help you grow a . it's very important because it's part of the culture here in south africa, or it became a part of a rebellious thing with a government. and then it became anything that becomes rebellious with

being from so in this is where spending started from. as they say, i mean there's not a day that will go past without you seeing or hearing one of these babies driving parts, so you already know the found of the quality. okay. so i mean for me, it was just one of those things. my brother, my brother, he wasn't too far cause he wasn't through all of that. so for me it was just an actual thing. i started by giving myself the scar, painted it red because it was a different color. i struggled a lot with the engine until i made my mechanic and his name is poison. and he said to me, for a girl, i suggest to get an engine called a multi valve, which is what i have now inside there, it's converted to an e. 36 engine and it's a 328, b, m, w, m e, 13 model, lot of power. do you do like mechanical watson because well, no,

not at all. i just be the one piece that the engine for me. they want to see if anything revenue for me and i think, but i don't get my hands dirty at all. i have a team who does all of that for me, but every now and again, like at a show, you'll see me carrying a tie. but you must know that i'm, i'm not excited. i'm not happy doing it with mom. my son is 1010 this year i work. i'm in human resource development at one of the insurance companies here in south africa. and i'm also a student. i'm doing my 3rd year at the university of northwest in char. it's more just juggling more than anything. it's just juggling everything now with covey were working from home. so as soon as my day in then i just jump into my books. and then while i'm doing my books, my son is kind of like doing his homework as well. you know, it really isn't easy at all,

that they come into the industry with the things that i struggled with. so i'd like to hold somebody's hand and say this is what you do. this is how you do it. and when you get to a place, this is how it works. because with me i had no one and i fumbled and i stumbled until i made my team and i got it right. ah, we'll have more exciting stories about the fantasy next time on rev. with, with
