Overdrive: From Kwik Fit to Cybertruck Fix – The Shifting World of Cars and Transport
In this episode of Overdrive, we dive into the evolving world of vehicles, transport systems, and the culture that surrounds them. From industry pioneers to futuristic machines, David Brown and Paul Morrell cover it all with insight and wit.
🎧 Full Episode Includes:
🔧 Farewell to Tom Farmer
We remember Sir Tom Farmer, founder of Kwik Fit, who revolutionised car servicing in the UK. His commitment to customer service and clean, efficient operations helped transform the motor repair industry.
🚛 Hydrogen Trucks Make a Comeback
Hyundai’s XCIENT hydrogen truck features at the Brisbane Truck Show. We explore hydrogen's ongoing role in freight transport, its infrastructure challenges, and targeted adoption strategies like those seen in Tasmania.
🔌 EV Sales Rise, But Not Everywhere
EV sales are booming globally—but Japan and parts of Europe are slowing down. We examine regional trends, affordability, and how some manufacturers like Honda are shifting back to hybrids.
🛠️ Tesla Cybertruck Repair Woes
A Tesla Cybertruck is written off after $58,000 in damages. We talk repair costs, impractical design quirks, and why the Cybertruck may be more statement than substance.
🚘 Hands-On with the Tesla Model Y
David test drives the updated Model Y. With a more mature design, better sound insulation, and improved comfort, this SUV moves closer to mainstream appeal—minus the novelty gimmicks.
🎨 Jaguar’s Neon Light Show in Tokyo
Jaguar teams up with artist Yoshi Rotten to display their T-Type 00 in an immersive art installation. Bold branding or confusing concept? You decide.
🐉 Lotus Eletre: Rare as Unicorn Droppings
We spot one of the only two Lotus Eletre EVs sold in Australia so far. High price, bold looks, and low visibility—does it stand out enough in today’s market?
📲 Responding to Social Media Feedback
David reflects on MG hybrid reviews and a calm, reasoned reply to an aggressive commenter. A reminder that honest motoring journalism matters, especially when it highlights real-world quirks.
🧠 Behaviour Change in Transport
We revisit an interview with Liz Ampt on voluntary behaviour change and practical approaches to getting people to shift their habits—without manipulation.
🚗 Final Thoughts on Car Culture
From the evolution of car design to the emotional and practical reasons people choose vehicles, we touch on what really drives buyer decisions—and how that's changing with age, technology, and urban life.

O//TXT – SYSTEM OVERDRIVE
SOURCE: OBLIVOR://CORE_DUMP_Δ404
STATUS: Unstable signal
TRACK: Vocal fragments / Interrupted transmissions
THREAT: Cognitive and structural overload

"Hey… are you there?"
"I don’t know what’s real anymore…"
"The system… it’s collapsing…"

The system has gone too far.
Every function, every safeguard, every balance... burned out.
What was built to contain, now destroys.
Every signal is an open wound.
Every impulse, a final attempt.

And yet, amidst the collapse, something persists.
A voice.
An impulse.
A will that resists the silence.

Overdrive is not an escape.
It’s what remains when everything breaks:
unstable memory, fragmented truths, disconnected emotions.
And still, someone calls.
Not to be saved.
To be remembered.

"If you can hear me…
don’t forget who you are."

But you, who are listening...
are you still yourself?

What if your freedom
was just an error in the system?

🛟

I am an Italian psychotherapist with a deep passion for understanding the human mind and helping others find balance and peace.
By day, I work with people to guide them through their inner storms, offering support, presence, and insight.
By night, I turn to music as a form of creative release and emotional expression, a space where silence speaks, and sounds reveal what words cannot.

We live in a world slowly crumbling under the weight of its own illusions. When everything collapses, only Oblivor remains.

Oblivor is not just music. It is what remains when the world stops being real.

We live inside a reality shaped by algorithms, simulated sensations, and manufactured emotions.
Simulation came before the real, replaced it, and now defines it.

Oblivor was born from an error that was never corrected.
An untraced memory. A forgotten signal.
It doesn’t represent a possible future, it anticipates it.
A distorted dimension that only appears when we stop rewriting our own.
The echo of what awaits us, if we don’t change course.

Oblivor is not part of the system.
It is the system breaking.
While you keep listening.
