A few quick stories 

Toyota Discontinues Granvia People Mover in Australia 
•	A vehicle where function was much more powerful than form: it looked ugly

Reverse parking – Automatic parking

•	Parking spaces are getting smaller as cars get bigger
•	Do people use the automatic parking on cars 

Good Design – the best and worse cup holders
•	BMW once said they would never have cup holders – never say never

Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi Motors terminate MOU 

•	A very short-term affair 

Elon Musk Admits He Was Wrong 
•	You current Tesla will not be able to do autonomous driving with just a software update 

The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis

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.

Para que cumpla mis votos cada día.

Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

Join The Special Friends as they share life experiences, explore the issues of the week, and answer those questions that no one asked. Sometimes we laugh, we get deep, or we debate but we always leave the table as friends.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
