Did the now seemingly traditional “Bank Holiday airport run” in the #Roadtek today.

As much as I love the #e_Niro and dislike spending £100 on fuel it made the whole escapade much nicer as we didn’t have to get 4 people and 2 dogs and luggage in the car and we didn’t need to use the service area toilets so we could stop anywhere we wanted for a comfort break and #Dog picnic.

Today it was on the Pennine Way footpath next to the Windy Hill transmitter at the top of the M62.

Just got home.

Had to go back to Harrogate (the scenic way) because we thought the postman had left a package hanging out the letterbox. Turned out he hadn’t but there was a random package for someone else left on daughter’s doorstep.

On the way we found a nice charger in a posh supermarket with cafe and had a great coffee & lunch while the car consumed electrons.

So then we thought we might as well swing by the new house to pick up mail and packages from there on the way home too.

@vwdasher well we made it to the airport on time… although flight is delayed 🙄

Manchester Airport shuttle run the Saturday before Christmas!
What could possibly go wrong?

Nav says 190 miles and #e_Niro says 250 range but it’s cold and dank out and I’ll be “pressing on”. Wish us luck. 😬

In diesem Video teste ich einen #Kia #e_Niro mit über 260.000 km, der als #Fahrschulwagen im #Dauereinsatz war. Mit dem #Avilo #Flash-Test habe ich den #Akkuzustand ausgelesen und mit dem #Fahrschulbesitzer über #Reparaturkosten, #Wartung, #Alltagserfahrungen und typische Probleme gesprochen.

Day off from #woodenhouse #WeirdHouse dismantling to tidy up the swan rescue before a “director’s visit” from the land owners.

Had quite a workout with the mower and fixed some things we could access with the ponds drained.

RYC #e_Niro now smells of cut grass and vomit 🤮 as Grandkid didn’t enjoy my spirited drive home from Manchester Airport to Harrogate going the scenic route and I haven’t found time to clean up properly yet 🤢

He’s a good good boy. He passed his exam!

@vwdasher oh cool, once I get settled and the hosepipe ban is lifted, I might treat the #e_Niro to a proper bath.
@dan the auto regen on max is ace in the #e_niro like strong engine braking when “making progress”, but lightens up at lower speed or traffic. Won’t bring you to a stop so not one peddling but I like that it creeps like old autos when you lift off brakes. It has taken 10 months leaving it in that one setting so I acclimatise to it… But now I hate all the other modes. 🤷‍♂️

@vwdasher I hate chasing indicators. Especially in multi lane lines of queuing traffic.

I’m not a huge fan of all the warnings “bings” but I can live with them if I know what they are warning me about.

RYC the #e_Niro usually explains what is wrong on his little screen. But there a some that I absolutely have no clue as to why he’s shouting at me, because he won’t tell me! 😤

Not being able to turn off lane assist is simply dangerous at times.
