A modified #FordCapri - enough to put you off your breakfast 🤢 - http://miniphernalia.co.uk

The car didn't charge during yesterday's Octopus free electricity session, nor did it charge overnight.
So I've missed out on the free session and the overnight cheap rate because I need to put some juice in the thing before we go to our daughter's later
Grrrrr

I think the blame might lay at the door of an update to the app from Ford.
I've followed the suggestions on the Book of Faces and will try again tonight.

Immer mehr #Autohersteller setzen auf den Retrotrend, um ihre #Elektromodelle emotional aufzuladen.

Klassiker wie der #Renault5, #FordCapri oder #IDBuzz feiern als Stromer ein Comeback. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Design, sondern auch um den "sentimentalen Wert" bekannter Marken.

Moderne Designs allein überzeugten viele Kundinnen und Kunden bisher nicht.

So far today has been a qualified success STORY.

The car dash cam fitter turned up on the stroke of 8am and was finished in about 45 minutes. The bill was more than expected (due to the quote excluding VAT).

We've discovered bits of the new car that we hadn't looked at before.
Found the tyre pump and the sealant (which won't get used).
Found out why the front 'fog lamps' are called 'poor condition lamps'.
Worked out how to fold the back seats down.

The garden pond Level sensing device arrived and is fitted & connected to the app. The freezer temperature probes arrived and are also linked to the app.

Hmmm
The central screen on our new #FordCapriEV froze on the journey here.
It seems there's an easy fix according to Internet searches (hopefully correct).

There was no music or satnav - so I got lost, and had to talk to my wife (the two were not connected)

Sacha has left me in charge of the cat and the cooker while she is out getting her nails done (something I don't really understand, but it pleases her).
I am determined not to confuse the cat with the cooker when it comes to turning the vegetables on at the determined time.

In the meantime, I'm sitting on the patio in the last of the afternoon sun listening to Bossa Nova and admiring my earlier gardening efforts.

We've had a message to say that Sacha's new car (#motability) should be ready for collection soon after the 10th June - so the excitement will be ramping up.
That poor EV charger need feel unloved no longer.

Si decimos que este Ford Capri MK2 es único en el mundo, es porque lo es

A bit of a late start for me - but I've been busy adulting.

The solicitor I need to talk to about our daughter has finally, finally responded (with a half hearted apology). Now all we need to do is pay them and set up the appointment.
What other type of shady business requires payment up-front to talk about a job they might or might not be able to do?

I've got the kitchen floor washed and the cat litter tray clean. The bins are emptied. Several small spiders are now homeless.

Talking of Kit the new #cat - she is going out into the garden for brief explorations, but not staying out much.

We've got a trip out this afternoon - we'll stop off at a new (to us) cafe for a light lunch at Ulverscroft Grange #Leicestershire - it has good reveiws from some of my Tai Chi pals. Afterwards - we're talking about changing Sacha's #motability car. We're hopinng to go full #EV with a #FordCapri

We've got a Tesco delivery due at around 6pm - and..... that's it for #Today.

Have a good 'un pals

Cor! What a day.
We went for a drive in the Hyundai Ioniq5 this morning.
Had a nice lunch in the sun at the cafe next to the Great Central Railway in Quorn
Then we went for a drive in the Ford Capri
This is for Sacha's next #Motability car as she gets #PIP (for now!)

TL:DR - The Ford gets it by a short head.

There was a bit too much tech on the #Hyundai - made worse by them letting us loose with the version with no mirrors - only cameras. I couldn't focus on the rear view screen with my glasses, and there were odd reflections. The spec' we are interested in doesn't have these, but we'd loose the very nifty parking cameras & the Heads Up Display.
The '#Ford Capri (badly named - it's really a Mondeo) was much easier to adapt to, but maybe slightly less comfortable. The ride was nicer and maybe quieter but the touch buttons on the centre consol will take some getting used to. Ford is an American company which is a big minus.

So - it's the #FordCapri for us - ordering next month.

Ford Capri

Es un modelo de turismo de la compañía fabricante de automóviles Ford. Se trata de un cupé deportivo producido desde el 14 de diciembre de 1968 hasta el 19 de diciembre de 1986 por Ford Europa.
