Been using the Buzz for Buzzy stuff this weekend. Chairs coming soon to a podcast near you (in all their hideousness).

Definitely one to jump at if I’m ever offered the chance!

Well there’s a blast from the past. We stayed in that exact hotel block a few years ago! In fact our room is in your picture!

Can vouch for the slickness of the column change on the Ds, having now tried a couple more since. Was also surprised by how nice the dash-mounted change was on the Traction. In fact, what blew me away about the Traction was how modern it felt for such an old car.

We used to have a metric fucktonne of these when I worked for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Was always a bit of a guilty pleasure when you’d get to take an SRi Exterior Pack with the optional pano roof on a delivery run. Entirely meh to drive, especially with the 1.8 petrol, but they looked great!

Sounds like an absolutely banging night in!

Yes, but just every once in a while, it’s important to remember that you owe it to yourself to stay up late and eat as many biscuits as you like.

“Day 342: they still don’t suspect I’m a Mk3…”

Utterly glorious!

There’s an ASpture too…

Glorious!

Yup, can’t speak to the other areas as I haven’t skied many of those, but the upgrades to the lift system in the last 10 years or so at the Pass Thurn end have made a huge difference - not least the Panoramabahn, which holds a special place in my heart as it’s the first lift I took my wife up!

That’s a long old schlep - took me most of a day to ski it, let alone walking it! My folks once had a small flat in Mittersill so we always used to ski the Pass Thurn end of the ski area - amazing views down into the Salzachtal and Leukental, and usually lovely and quiet until mid-morning!

Looks like you’re somewhere up above Hollersbach? Been a while so I could be mistaken!

Agreed, though there is always the Kona Electric. Admittedly not quite as cohesive a design as the Ioniq 5, but eye-catching in its own way and just as smooth to drive!

Great cars too!

Yeah I’m definitely not an EVangelist. I’m lucky enough that one works well for my use case but I also know there are plenty of use cases where they don’t work just yet.

Thank you sir!

There are good reasons why I’ll always take my cars to Rich for any kind of serious fabrication or rust repair work.

Ahh that’s a shame! It actually feels quite compact to us, having come from a Superb Estate!

Will be sure to post about it!

I don’t doubt it. And even if they do need a charge, they can do it at 240kW, so 10-80% can be as little as 18 minutes. Just enough time to go into the services, use the loo, buy a coffee, and get back to the car!

Thank you. Yes, it seems pretty relaxing. Looking forward to the first long road trip in it!

Oh wow. Some choices were made.

About three hours.

While I was taking these pictures last night I kept looking at it all lit up and thinking ‘I can’t believe I get to drive around in this thing now!’

FYI, photo/videographer/creator friends.

Buried in the replies is a rec for www.swisstransfer.com/en-us as an alternative. Might be worth a try?

Thank you, but your Mk2 looks every bit as lovely!

Only an idiot would go out and take pictures of his new black car at nighttime, right?

Give peas a chance, Tamara.
