When we visited the exhibition of the Museum of Public Transport in #Brno, I saw a #Škoda 100 and told my kids that my parents had it as their first car when I was as old as they are now. They looked at me in total disbelief.

#Skoda removes all features to force cars to enable geo location etc.
I have of course all options disabled in car. There is no way that I trust them with such data they already got hacked once.
Today they update the app to make you turn everything back on in the car otherwise you loose all capabilities.

Fuck them.

Škoda, das tschechische Zugpferd im Krisenkonzern Volkswagen

Während VW mit Gewinneinbruch, Werksschließungen und drohenden US-Zöllen kämpft, fährt Škoda der Konzernmutter davon. Die Marke profitiert davon, dass sie fast ausschließlich in Europa stark ist. Von Danko Handrick.

Another morning looking at #motability scheme cars.

We've got a shortlist of two now which we'll arrange to take for a drive in a week or two.
Ford Capri (the badly named car) and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are the choice.
#Ford is an American owned company so loses points, #Hyundai seem to have long waiting times for delivery so lose points.

Ford and #Skoda dealers in #Leicester score zero for their parking arrangements - and for dumping cars in the disabled spaces.

Jena (ots) - Ein Zeuge informierte in den frühen Samstagmorgenstunden über ein brennendes Fahrzeug in der Amsterdamer Straße. Dieses stand im Bereich eines Autohandels. Trotz des raschen Löschangriffs der alarmierten Feuerwehr, griff der Brand ...

Tomorrow is March.
Sacha has a #motability car lease which means that we have to change our car every three years - which is a mixed blessing.
There's a window between when she *can* order a new car and when she *must* have ordered one. That window opens at the end of March.

Advice we're seeing from other Motability customers is that we need to have made our choice as soon as possible before the window opens - partly because of some extremely long delivery times.
Of course, the complication is that the list of available cars changes at the start of April!

We've started looking at EVs and are currently smitten with the Hyundai Ioniq5, but we are going to look at the Skoda Enyaq and the badly named Ford Capri in the next couple of weeks.
Test drives upcoming!

Among the trains seen at #Munich Hauptbahnhof today: a #DB #ICE4, a #DB #RegionalExpress arriving from #Nuremberg, hauled by a 200 kph #Škoda Class 102 electric, working the consist over the Ingolstadt High Speed Line, and an #ÖBB second generation #Railjet.
