I gave it a miss until it had proven itself a bit, and unfortunately the car only survived the one year, though it&#39;s not clear whether that was from mechanical troubles, or poor sales owing to the manual being the only available transmission. 2025-06-28T01:38:31Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9tpec0vvxrutv85kj9az4lrmzlftcj03ehvmwlud5plhj0fmx9kczyqeurx065jz5uyjn94ln6zy4d2ev6f0vzzehq7zu7jrm6ummd7u6jqqy0g0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr2zwzdjzymaxnn4gx8fyxm6edk4nluvep90ml7m34tdxl2jrljtswu4e23'>nevent1q…4e23</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In an earlier era, it was pretty hard to find a sedan with both AWD _and_ manual transmission.

Why not do all the sports in one grand celebration? I&#39;d much rather watch sledge hockey and wheelchair racing than golf or breakdancing, while I&#39;m waiting for the weather to cooperate for the sailing events. 2024-08-12T11:56:31Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9yrd2r35h59x3qv8wclcukxgvydsa9ntx6ts674vmqm3zj0ulmzqzyqeurx065jz5uyjn94ln6zy4d2ev6f0vzzehq7zu7jrm6ummd7u6jgrzhvj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvrd36fu9e6x7aslxh5e8vfr9fknlqe42gqafjrlpjdng36kmn4mqyndmsp'>nevent1q…dmsp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The composition is fantastic. <br/><br/>In case it&#39;s useful, I sometimes use the 2-second countdown timer to filter out the finger tap on the shutter button. 2024-08-06T11:02:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf49l20rrel0lck9a207ftp8qavpuqe4xmvg75qlxgftyy37g3ajszyqeurx065jz5uyjn94ln6zy4d2ev6f0vzzehq7zu7jrm6ummd7u6jltt0d2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0729hkx9t5k50k37qq4ctmq6xh3n5f7rau8jjauac40xkml3yh5qmhjdq0'>nevent1q…jdq0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I really had to zoom in on that. It looked like a forest fire ridge. Glad everyone is ok. Looks beautiful. 2024-08-05T01:04:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgw49s93r22luqfcndlyj4j57xle6vz85a5sgh5t3wzwvud7yvj5qzyqeurx065jz5uyjn94ln6zy4d2ev6f0vzzehq7zu7jrm6ummd7u6jm42awn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg4d5dsyml3acndvpcf6ltel5w9k6jhccuhfd2kkysdzykf4psfkqfsacp5'>nevent1q…acp5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Neat. I had been looking for a crank grinder for a long time (can only find cheap battery operated ones) but I like this one that looks like it operates the same way as a pepper mill. Clever.<br/><br/>We also have a pepper mill but it&#39;s a Peugeot and I have to say they make better cars than pepper mills. 2024-08-02T01:33:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstan8c9gz6jgzhc9xdga48hwz0y4d3vwzm029ag78mkazc2ygsy2gzyqeurx065jz5uyjn94ln6zy4d2ev6f0vzzehq7zu7jrm6ummd7u6j0kl36k In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxdkt9xdegp6m6jy52k448gwx50xky2p73wdshvxy4388nu5qmm7cqzkxce'>nevent1q…kxce</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Cool!
