BYD have two models that are plug hybrids, the Sealion which is an SUV and Shark which is a four door Ute. They share the same drive train which consists of two electric motors and a 1.5 litre diesel engine. The electric motors drive the vehicle and when the battery gets down to a certain level...

I’ll let you know what parts are being replaced, definitely not the battery. Car should be ready first week of January. i didn’t know there was a difference in ride height settings between the sedan and CT. Anyway, I had no time to change the settings!

Must be something in the air? Last month I was driving on a country two lane road, from the Gold Coast in Queensland to Kyogle in northern NSW when rounding a bend doing around 90kph and there was a BIG surprise waiting for me. In the middle of my lane was a large lump of concrete which had...

Tassie is indeed a great state to drive, aside from Hobart and Launceston there are not a lot of people, 580,000 in total and is almost the same size as Ireland. The second biggest event in Tasmania was Targa Tasmania, a five day competitive tarmac rally. It ran from 1992 until 2022 and is...

Apparently there is a biofuel powered charger that is part way between the Western Australia and South Australia. There have been several people who have gone the whole way around in an EV. That would be epic?

I just love your travelogues, well written, great photography and matching bylines ? I’m sure it takes a huge amount of work to put together at the end of each day but we all appreciate it? It has spurred me to do another road trip in the Taycan, it’s twelve months since I did the trip from the...

Only 52 used cars on the market here, less 9 dealer order only adverts, less private cars for sale that have been on the market for over a year? Private cars for sale look like they are hopeful rather than realistic and dealer sales are reasonable but still high in comparison to ordering a new...

Won’t happen in Australia, PCA makes sure of that?

What about cows!

Especially after the engine and gearbox mods he did?

Aussie smart arse here, might you have cement on board that you intend to add water to for mortar or sand, gravel and water to make concrete?

So about 60 minutes a day charging on DC. Probably double what you may have spent filling with petrol over the same distance, not really a lot and so much better on so many levels.

Do we want more power? Most of us would say yes however I had that very conversation with a mate the has a 718 Spyder, the same as I have. We both come from a racing background and were discussing whether we would upgrade to the GT4RS. As neither of us race anymore? we debated how useable it...
