Awesome man that's a good idea. I've been a bit quiet on here,had a pretty rough time the last half a year. Struggling through but all will be good. Currently on a cruise up to Coober Pedy by myself for a change of scenery and to kind of reset and reflect. I haven't ever been there so just want to go somewhere quiet and chill and watch some amazing sunsets! I'm looking forward to getting back to some coffee and cars, I certainly miss the Sunday morning hangs. Anyways, here is the bus for the northern trip! I was hoping the NT border would be open to go see Uluru as well but that's a no go. Will do the trip with the family in the near future when it's open again. I've also followed the Petersen museum now too. The Hetfield clip was cool as.  Wagzfarm by Marty Sutton, on Flickr Hey man Good to see you post here Love the wagon, looking sweet (probably not so much now knowing where you are  ) Coincidence is I only just finished watching the 3rd version of these Coffee and Cars vids. I thought of you straight away and know you have your FB page ^ Glad to hear Hope all is well dude  Enjoy Cooper Pedy - Watch where you are walking! If you didnt stop on the way, check out Lake Hart on your way back home. Its close to Woomera turnoff and a nice spot for a walk and a rest |

i found out the other day that former minardi f1 driver and CART irregular tarso marques is now a designer and some of his work, originals and mods alike, are absolutely mental. the first car is set to drive in the brazilian endurance championship when that's able to kick off again and it's a car i would love to see picked up by a larger team once the hypercar regulations come in:    his website and instagram cover his portfolio rather well: tarsomarques.com/www.instagram.com/tarsomarquesoficial/?hl=entarso also drove one of the sleakest and snazziest looking f1 cars of the 21st century:  |

Best affordable electric car ? Not including Tesla.
I’m looking at the Ford Mustang Mach-E
or the Kia EV6.
Hybrids are also in the mix but the car taxes
here in Denmark are ridiculously high on anything fossil driven.
We are talking 200%
So any contenders for the two above ?
The Kia is as techy as they come, charges fast
and is the cheaper car. The Mustang is just more
fun and a little bigger in the cabin.

But did you make a decision and purchase? |

I understand why people don’t like cars like that, I really do. But this thing has 500+hp and is filled with awesome shit. A petrol car at the same level would cost twice as much. And it’s aloooot cheaper to drive then a fossil driven car. Also I saved like almost 20.000 EURO basically over night |

That car looks awesome in blue for instance but jeebus the white versions look like a non-car like a Tata or something |

Yeah it’s lame in white. I like the blue and red ones as well but not so much as it costs extra.
Ordered mine in black with 20” black induction rims and red brake caliper. That looks pretty cool to me.

You will have to post up a photo at some point.
The power and torque numbers are impressive.
Still so weird to see cars without front grilles.
Its a new era.
Chrome bumpers.
Plastic bumpers.
No grilles.

No grilles. Will do, but it basically looks like all the others lol. And I agree, the worst thing about EV’s are the front, doesn’t look good to me. I’d love having a Mustang or a Dodge but you literally need to be a millionaire to buy one of those in Denmark. |

Its still is, but starting to look a bit more sensible lately. Hearing you say that about Mustang ownership gives me fresh appreciation for what we can do here (we are normally always complaining, especially since we lost our car manufacturing industry). Have always bought Aussie Fords but I see a Mustang in our future. |

Have always bought Aussie Fords but I see a Mustang in our future. Yeah the second hand car market went bonkers here in Europe as well, it's still pretty crazy. In Denmark we have some of the worlds highest taxes (around 50% of all your income is gone before you see a penny, if you make a decent living it's 60%) This also goes for car taxes which is about 200% of the cars value.... It's recently been adjusted so cheaper and more Environmental cars have a cheaper tax, and awesome cars like a Mustang is getting FUCKED. Which basically is why I have bought an EV now, the tax is much much lower, so is the bank interest and green property tax. |

Will likely be more of it before too long. |
