what secrets lie behind these discovered mileage benches in 360 degrees and explore fascinating. both heritage dw world heritage 360 now is that that's the ad or is 89 years old and as i'm breakable as a taxi 11 and nano is from the way. so and the trailblazer in the spinning theme and called it says on the road with the or a funky cost and compare the electric code to the many right. now on read the,

you could think today's test car is a many but it's not. instead, it's b r, a funky kids, and on user a companion, that's what they call medical names and we'll pull that to the test right now. welcome through s b or a brand belongs to the chinese conglomerate. great wall motors. when a child is old, is major car makers, we are a funky get to live us, 127 kilowatts of power, and for a call that is rob, small, that fields rob. sporty. so if you press the gas pedal it goes off pretty fast. it has the ability to go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in a little more than 8 seconds. and the top speed is kept at $162.00, which is more than enough for every day driving us back in the city of forest. but

also all the german auto body. 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 r a funky cat is available with 2 different battery sizes. the entry level version 48 kilowatt hour. busy and the bigger 163 kilowatt hours, that will give you a range of either 310 kilometers or $420.00. busy the bigger 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 or a function cat is it's somewhat looks like a mini the and the mini 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 euro's for the base version in germany. and this call or a funky kid starts at around 38900 euro's so quite a bit more the the or still is the better call. 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 kilometers of range. and that is virtually nothing compared to the 310 kilometers you get in the entry level of. busy of d r, so are on 100 kilometers more. that is quite a bit of usability that you gain with that car and dollar a funky can also have a lot of things that come as standards that you will not find in the meaning. the standard equipment use includes the leather seats of $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 so you can then simply press the brake pedal, put it to deal with this knob right here. it's a turning up. now where the i, la costa 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. or 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 in southern cluster and the other one is infill 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 operated by saying hello, and then the name of the rent. 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? hey, anthony. that does will only work with the pre record of things. so the things that 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. busy 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 a strike. what? that's what happens. so choose a name that is not very common in the language you're using video screen set up comes the 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 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 220 a leaders, which is not exactly a huge s you can tell, but it's good enough for you a week. the grocery shopping, the general driving impression in this car is pretty nice. it is and 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. at least it's not a usual thing. you will find in cars in that small car segment, the big, i don't really like about the funds you get is the maximum charging speed, and that is 64 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 call fast, you would charge it at home at your wall box, ideally, or at 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 it would be better if it could just be able to pass that because there are other costs and then segments that can do that with, for example, $100.00 kilowatt. and the r a funky

can also comes with different dr modes, but what i find rather 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 expired eco. and. busy you can also put it into all 0, 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 result 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 raw, funky cad 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, when you fact are coming to a market that already has a lot of all the causing 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 a 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 $1000000.00 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 last 11 in the we jumped in for a ride with a veteran cab drive and is the machine well,

the right yeah. good. well is even the most is a long and naturally pays. no one does to home, get him. i learn how to drive who the bad. the everyone loves me. truth is everyone loves each other. here. the cities together, the festival. and they said, omar, we were the king of the districts. that's how it was on somebody to come out of the deep. i can say that i loved everybody and everybody loves me by god's great

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, but i moved and then further away rather. and she's not happy with that stuff that i'm moving very well and we've travelled everywhere and the customers often came up to me and asked me, will you drive me to assemble? going back to this area, is that the one that that i always say yes. on the let me do. it isn't just a mom who's traveled far and wide, so to has these mercedes, the w 110 built between 196168 was particularly popular with gabby's because of its reliability concepts and lots trunk. easy to recognize things to its short tail,

sends an image to american costs of the sixty's does. yeah. here let me do this. close. my sweetheart. i based on the engine, it's very old. i've got a lot of really good. i have at least 40 years old had that. is that a new and that the i bought it runs the and then how many kilometers has it run? and actually then i was in turkey with it. i went as far as the stumble. they are not quite sure why this car is all original. i haven't changed a thing for 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 low as about about the source. i need

them the mentor and have them say that i'm independent and human that the fizzy, both the car in 1975 pix names, only thing is original except for replacement hood ornaments. i for the mercedes and the because i've tried and i've tested it, went through i tried a toyota which is also good to you when a good fit. i used to have a toyota crested in, 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 go out there for me. that's the car. i feel good in here. and everything just for

us, right. so i'm a 50 and that's why i laura's been on liberties rides with decades. he knows them like the back of his hand. and then, and that's not on the scene, is quite often here. that is, i love him because every month after they should learn how to drive my brother the bad weather. i guess that's why the car was acting up the the tank's empty. it's like this, the, they all around $40000.00 registered taxi drivers and 11 and many without driver's licenses. civil dancing,

the severe economic crisis and the high cost of field in the country, the foot was refilled. this societies is on the music and the was the very good the i love that i mean the color of the older it's been 10 years since i'm or especially we tired. he still to live his taxi, and people still want to ride within the i'm of the streets of living in a special but tough terrain. let go. no problem. let him know. i know that people

don't care to track down. there's an accident. nobody cares. and that's because that's why you need solid, strong cars, like the old classic cars allowed as otherwise you won't be able to handle the bad roads. i love you. we live at the omar and his mercedes off. that's an adaptive a challenge to legends from back to 11 and much made in heaven. and from the cold, the king of king, the

my name is melanie people. i am originally from middle ends and so it, so i am a female spend 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 limits. you're invested in being the 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 or in the spinning life, my name is then keep that leap. 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 5. 1 of the thing is, what about the fund? 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. she is so much for the night up to her not just as a heads up person in general. go ahead and leave it for to help me grow every time . like i spend these on the what is popular because it's part of the culture here in south africa. um it became a part of a rebellious thing with the government. and then it became with anything that's that becomes rebellious, which becomes popular to you the spring from. so it's so in this way spinning started from, as i said, 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 professor. so i mean for me,

it was just one of those things, my brother, my life by that he wasn't to class cause he wasn't through all of that. so for me it was just a natural thing. i, 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. 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 $36.00 engine. um and it's a $3.00 to $8.00 beams avenue. i'm a 30 model lot of power 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 team who does all of that for me. but every now and again, like at a show,

you'll see me carrying a tie up, but you must know that i'm, i'm not excited. i'm not happy doing it. 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 here in south 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 is 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's, it really isn't easy at all, but i have been managing my name is believe someone it, i am the son of donkey dudley's. i just kind of 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 1 on 10 the so for me is this 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 south africa. oh, let me say i've been to 2 of mid i so so would love to piece of a female, you know, how to spin or help them out if they come into the industry, what are 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 assembled and assembled until i made my team and i thought it
