Behind the scenes at the launch of the battery powered Toyota Hilux. I'm sworn to secrecy for a few more days... 🤐

Got some off-roading done in the new, pure electric Toyota Hilux. There's an embargo on driving impressions for another week, but to get around this you can sinply fill in the blanks yourself: the vehicle [BLANK] with [BLANK] when I [BLANK]. Get creative! 😁

Doing something different today, driving the first 100% battery powered Hilux from Toyota. It's finally here in NZ! But... is it any good? Let's find out I guess.

Random encounter with Marc Ellis on top of a hill, surrounded by Hiluxes. I don't meet many celebrities so this was neat.

The embargo is almost over and I'm looking forward to spilling the beans on the Volvo EX60 drive in Spain. Thing is, it looks fairly 'normal' from the outside, but the level of technology and advancement in this sensible looking car could have some Chinese makers worried.

Great to be back home! Looks like I've brought the Spanish weather with me too. Now giving the Leaflet a guilt-free rapid charge at the massive ChargeNet site at the Bombay Hills. There's rapid charging for 18 EVs at once here. 💪 Way to go, kiwis!

Currently putting this mystery car through its paces on the highways and twisty corners of El Spaino. Not allowed to mention driving experiences until the embargo ends so stay tuned. It's tough to keep quiet on this when I typically never shut up. 😅

My starchy travel companion on today's mystery trip. His name is Spud. 🥔

Oh dear. They just brought out the Polaroid camera on the plane so naturally I had to strike some tragic, faux-business poses. As you do. 😂

"Yeah but if we all switched to electric cars overnight, what would we do with all the combustion engines???" Well, here's one potential solution. 😁

Another stunning day in New Zealand but I'm heading to the airport. Gonna be using at least one of these driver's licenses by the end of the week! Haven't done one of these trips for a while. Getting excited. I wonder what I'll be reviewing? 🤔

I'm not a qualified towologist, but something definitely seems off here.

Didn't have a whisk but had a battery powered drill and a fork. Baking a feijoa cake. As you do.

I'm so lazy I devised a way to turn on the shower from my bed. 😁

Another successful haul from the Op Shop. 😅 When the Allegro is running I'll be making good use of its cassette player.

I thought it was gonna be a drama but setting up the Libby app took like four seconds. Got thousands of audiobooks there, plus it's free. Like, actually free. I was a fool for paying for Spotify as long as I did. A total idiot.
