live in such a bit, so nice. so why, but i want to go back to the idea. like, i don't have any reason. there's no reason, investment thing for me that yeah, i believe something that is coming very, very soon on. we don't know when the story in for my renewal, i will need to migrate wherever they may be the right to do that too. that's the ad or is 189 years old. and as i'm breakable as this tax 11 and nano is from switzer and the trailblazer in the spinning theme and called it says on the road with the or a funky cat and compares the electric code to the meaning right now on red the,

you could think today's test car is a mini, but it's not. instead it's the are of funky kids. and on user a companion, that's what they call medical claims and we'll pull that to the test right now. welcome through the aura brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. great wall motors, one of the chinese oldest major carmakers. we are a funky kid, delivers 127 k. busy lots of power and for a call that is rob the small that feels rather sporty. so if you press the gas pedal, it goes off pretty fast. it has the ability to go from 0 to 100 miles an hour in a little more than 8 seconds. and the top speed is kept at $1163.00,

which is more than enough to fall every day. driving, especially in the city of forest, but also other german audubon. you could use that car because you have a lot of places. well there is max of $130000.00. so this car can handle that without a problem. the, the are a funky get a is available with 2 different battery sizes. the entry level version 48 kilowatt hour. busy busy and the bigger 163 kilowatt hours, that will give you a range of either 310 kilometers or $420.00 for the big one. and that is quite some range for such a small car, especially if you plan to use it mainly in the city where small costs have the 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.

the, the 1st thing that came to my mind when i saw the all funky cat, is it some what looks like a meaning the, and the many is also available in a purely electric version. and you wouldn't believe it. the mini asked the cheaper car. it comes into the wrong $35700.00 euros. follow the base vague, and in germany, and this call or a funky kid starts at around 38900 euro's so quite a bit more the, the more a still is, the better call. let me explain why the meaning has

a very small battery. we talking about around 36 kilowatt hours of usable energy. and that will give you in a mom and 200 kilometers of range. and that is virtually nothing compared to the 310 kilometers to get in the entry level version of d r. so are on 100 kilometers more. that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car and the. busy funky can also has a lot of things that come as standards that you will not find in the meaning the standard equipment. this includes the leather seats, a $360.00 degree camera, and a bunch of driver assistance system. 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 so you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it too deep with this knob right here. it's

a turning up. now already, all the costs that don't have a start stop button. and once you're finished, you simply press p, get off the call, 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. now let's look at the interior. you have 2 screens, one with the answer and then plus the and the other one is in full payment 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 height is 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 assistance is either operate that 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? the opening that does not only work with the pre record of things, so things to con? no, it's some sort of of the official intelligence and this call will learn from what you're saying. and then it will be able to, for example, put on the climate are open the window without you saying do this, i'll do that. but simply by saying that your heart. 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 strike once. that's what happens. so choose a name that is not very common in the language you're using. video screen setup comes standard with the voice assistant is not only work for things inside of the

car. hey mike, i'm listening. open the trunk, scotty, 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 full, can use it as well. talking about the trunk, it can fit up to $850.00. a lead is with the receipts folded down. if you bring them back up, you left with 228 leaders, which is not exactly a huge s 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 car, so a little faster then with some of the cars. the

thing i really like in this car is the suspension. it is 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, in small car segments. the a big, i don't really like about the funky cat is the maximum charging speed and that is 60. busy kilowatt, now considering this is a small car, it is only a minor drawback because small cost, as i mentioned, the you will not want to use them regularly for long distance trips. so you will also not be in the need for all 3 charging your cost. us, you would charge it at home at 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 just be able to pass that because there are other

costs and then segment that can do that with, for example, $100.00 kilowatt. the are a funky kids. also comes with different drive modes, but what i find rob, strange is that the box and for it is found right here, the left on the steering wheel way, usually found the light on all the cars. and if you press it, you would get the acoustic feedback and you can change between 4 modes, or basically 3 modes that is explored eco and norma. you can also put it into auto, then the call would choose the appropriate knowledge for your style of driving. further assistance is provided by blind spot assist, traffic gym assist lane, keeping aid and more. all of these come at a standard or a put a lot of effort in this car. and you can also see that by the resolve they've got in the euro and kept crash tests because it was one of the best vehicles in the

small vehicle segments. it has ever been tested, the, the r a funky cat is definitely a funky car, especially with its unique and new features. for example, the voice assistance. 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 call will find a lot of friends. just like the mini did. the only thing i'm a little concerned about is the price tag, because as a chinese manufacturer are coming to a market that already has a lot of other costs in that segment. and then having a call that is a little more expensive, might alienate people before they realize that there is quite a lot in this call that you get for the money on all the, for the cat is very good alternative to the courage. many electric,

smart voice assistance, a decent range and adequate space. you need to make it a suitable everyday can. and on the downside, the charges slowly has limited trunk space and a fairly high price. the up to move in a 1000000 to low. because this, the city's taxi 11 is for the unbreakable. i'm the oldest cab driver around here. i would say, i have driven here. around 1955. the mercedes w 110 is 60 years old, and its driver omar is going strong at 89. the legend is always on the move in the lowest lab and then the we jump in for a ride with a veteran cab driver and is the machine well,

the good, well is even the m r moses along it and there is really pays no one. this to home, get him. i have no a learn how to drive the battery the around here. everyone loves me. truth is everyone loves each other here while i'm sitting together at a festival and they said, oh more now when you are the king of the districts. that's how it was said, somebody to come out and out of the gate. i can say that i loved everybody and everybody loves me by god's grace.

to add up when i was 21 and 1955, i got my driver's 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, rather than not happy with that. we've traveled everywhere. i got the vin number and the customers often came up to me and asked me, will you drive me to assemble? going back to the syria. that's it. it's the one that, that i always said, yes. go on the, let me, it isn't just, i'm on who's traveled far and wide. so to has is mercedes. the w 110, built between 196168 was particularly popular with cavities because of its

reliability, comfort and lots of trunk. easy to recognize thanks to its short tail, sends an image to american costs of the 60s that yeah. hey, let me know if this car is my sweetheart. and based on the engine, it's very old. i got a lot of ways that i have at least 40 years old. and that is avenue. and that the i bought it runs the and then how many kilometers has it run to me that was in turkey with it? i went as far as a symbol like that. why this car is all original? i that i haven't changed the thing to them. it simply runs, it's a wonderful car. this my original upholstery, i left it as it was. you guys have the

edit. these are tools and the spare parts, in case something happens when i draw it as, as low as about. my name's jim andrews. i, of course, i need them. the matter of having them say that i'm independent his own laws, and he will not allow the mm says he bought the car in 1975 pix names. only thing is original, except for a replacement hood ornaments. i for the mercedes and the because i've tried, oh no, i've tested it. you went through. i tried a toyota, which is also good to you when a good fit. i used to have a toyota crested but that didn't stick with me to lie right. the but i just never so this machine is not, it's simply not for sale or i know nobody is selling this car and what's more important? the cars are women when it's absolutely clear. i know have that for me,

is the car i feel good in here and everything just for us. right. so i'm a 50 and that's why i'm or it's been on lebanese roads with decades. he knows them like the back of his hand. and then, and that's normal, it seems quite often here that is i love him because every month after they should learn how to drive my brother the bad weather. it happened brad. and guess that's why the car was acting up the the tank's empty. it's like this they all around 40000 registered taxi drivers and 11 and many without driver's

licenses. 0 back saying the severe economic crisis and the high cost of field in the country, the foot was refilled. this societies is on the moves again, the was very good, very good. the i love that. i mean, the color of the folder, it's been 10 years since omar, especially, we tell it, he still drives his taxi, and people still want to ride within the i'm of the streets of lebanon on special, but tough to rain. but go,

no problem. let him know, and i know that people don't care or drop it down. there's an accident. nobody cares. i mean, that's the, that's why you need solid, strong, or like the old classic cars allowed as otherwise you won't be able to handle the bad roads. i love your view of at the omar and his necessities are definitely up to the challenge to legends from by could and 11 and much made in heaven. unplugged the cold, the king of king the,

that's fine. the my name is melanie people. i am originally from midlands. and so it, so i am a females for that. for me, it's about so a woman that you can do, whatever it is that you want to do, your age shouldn't be a limit. your agenda shouldn't be in the midst of kind of your incidents, the limits. you should just go at the end of your dreams and do whatever it is that you want to do. so that's, that's what it is all about for me, the this is austin. nice. and we're here today. yeah. to be what, what i'm capable of the yeah. in the spinning world going to spinning life. my name is ben. keep that lead. i don't know if i should say i've got a whole lot of adrenalin running in my veins or requests to say that i'm phyllis.

sometimes i'm afraid within that time i felt that i can do it. i can do it, i can do and then i see myself doing it. you know the, my, the, the, you come around. yeah. and the crowd was so happy to see you, you know, and like people actually pay money to come and see me guys, you know, and it's so much fun $1.00 and anything is the one 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 spinning industry every week.

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. so much kind of is present not up to her, not just as a heads up person in general. but if we look forward to help you grow, maybe tom like i'm, you know on that. but it is popular because it's part of the culture here in south africa. um it became a part of a rebellious thing with the parts or government. and then if it came with anything that's, that becomes rebellious, it becomes popular to you, the reading from. so it's so in this way spinning sided from as a say, i mean there's not a day that will go past without you seeing or hearing one of these babies driving

past. so you already know the found of, they quoted a pacific. so i mean for made was just one of those things, my brother, my life by that he wasn't to floss cause he wasn't through all of that. so for me it was just a natural thing. and i started by getting myself this cos painted 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 east $86.00 engine. and it's a $3.00 to $8.00. liam's avenue. i'm east 30 model let of pallet also because well, no not at all. so i just be the one of the piece that the engine for me. they want to see if anything rivet for me and i thing, but i don't get my hands to tea at all. i have

a teams which has all of that for me. but every now and again, i get a show, you'll see me carrying a tie. but you must know that i'm not excited. i'm not at be doing it's i'm a mom. my son is 10, a 10 this? yeah. i with i'm in human resource development at one of the insurance companies, hand side of africa. and i'm also a student. i'm doing my video at the university of northwest in a time, so it's more just traveling more than anything. it's just saddling everything now with cove and we're working from home. so as soon as my day and 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's, it, it really isn't easy at all, but i have been managing my name is mentally someone it, i am the son of donkey dudley's. i i think it's awesome that,

that sees printing. i, i'm very proud. i'm pretty excited and my mom says that you can spin at any age so like may want, i'm 10 the so for me it's just one of those things we, i feel like i'm breaking barriers. i mean, male dominated the works of that just to throw in that run. i mean, on the day, on the 5th the, i don't think i know 10 females who are into spinning within the entire side of africa. oh, let me say i've been in some few to i've mid i so so would like to piece of a female, you know, how to spin or help them out if they come into the industry, what the things that i struggled with. so i'd like to hold somebody's head 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 assembled and assembled until i made my team and i've got it right the . we'll have more exciting stories about live in as a next time on the
