Episode 8 of Watts & Wheels – TechCentral's electric motoring show – opens with William Kelly on his soapbox, clipboard in hand, and a simple demand: keep left, pass right. Too many South African drivers, he argues, treat the left indicator as an invitation to be overtaken rather than a signal of intent, and lane discipline would save the country time, fuel and a great deal of frustration, he opines. Duncan McLeod wonders where enforcement of that sort ends – cameras and artificial intelligence deciding when you should pull over? – which leads neatly into the episode's main interview. In episode 8, William and Duncan get stuck into: • An interview with Dillan Fernando, CEO of Tracker, on what a vehicle-tracking business becomes when cars generate far more data than a stolen-vehicle recovery unit ever needed – and what happens once AI is pointed at it. • The grid maths – William sets a total Eskom grid figure of roughly 47GW against a national fleet of about 13 million vehicles, of which only some 10 000 can be plugged in at all. His conclusion: EV charging is nowhere near being an Eskom problem, and on current trajectories most of us will not live to see the day it is. • EV education in South Africa – how much do buyers actually understand about what they are being sold, and whose job is it to tell them? • Volvo gets Gemini – Google's assistant has begun rolling out to Volvo cars, starting in the US and reaching models going back to 2020. Fixed voice commands give way to something closer to conversation: brainstorming a holiday, finding a decent coffee stop on the route, summarising an incoming text and dictating a reply in another language, or simply asking for something calming on the stereo. • Tesla lands in Africa – in Casablanca – Morocco, not South Africa, is where Tesla has put its African base, with a corporate presence in Casablanca and a Supercharger network built out since 2021 across Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat, Fez, Marrakesh and Agadir. Its cars still cannot be bought through official channels here. Is Africa a sleeping EV giant? The hosts are unconvinced. • Trade deals and battery minerals – India signs a motor industry trade deal with the EU while, at home, Itac proposes bringing EV battery minerals into the list of qualifying standard materials under APDP2, at a standard value added rate of 50% against the usual 25%, provided they originate in Sacu or the SADC region. William's question: is anyone actually going to build the batteries? • Mad Chinese cars – BYD's Tang and the Denza B8, plus XPeng's GX, the brand's first three-row luxury SUV. • A moment of silence – too soon, Honda? The hosts mark the company's retreat from its electric vehicle strategy. Also in the mix is the new metal heading for South African showrooms. The Jaecoo J5 and the iCaur are on the way, along with the BYD Atto 2 DM-i, a plug-in hybrid whose entry-level version carries a 7.8kWh Blade battery – a remarkably small pack for a car you are expected to plug in. It arrives loaded with equipment, which prompts a broader observation: Chinese brands have spoiled South African buyers so quickly that the goalposts have already moved. To contrast all that smoothness with something built for a purpose, there is the new Thula – the locally engineered electric game viewer that featured in episode 5 – back for another look. The episode closes with Hot or Not, where the Toyota FJ, the BYD Atto 2 DM-i, the iCaur and the Thula game viewer all go under the hammer. Watch S1E8 of Watts & Wheels now.

Das Auto, über das wir in dieser Folge sprechen, ist der Geländewagen einer besseren Welt. So sieht der Toyota FJ Cruiser tatsächlich aus, wenn er in den Nullerjahren neben seinem wichtigsten Konkurrenten steht, dem martialischen Hummer H3. Denn der knopfäugige Toyota erinnert nicht an Kriegsschauplätze, sondern an den klassischen Toyota FJ 40 aus den Sechzigern. Eigentlich soll dieses Retromodell nur eine Studie sein, doch dann geht der FJ Cruiser tatsächlich in Serie – das ist die gute Nachricht. Und jetzt die Schlechte: In Europa ist er offiziell nicht zu haben. Heute ist die Welt auch für Sammlerstücke ziemlich überschaubar geworden. Und deshalb diskutieren Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Dirk Ramackers über die Zukunft des Toyota FJ Cruiser.Executive Producer: Christoph Falke & Ruben Schulze-FröhlichProjektleitung: Lukas HambrechtSounddesign & Produktion: Fabian SchäfflerMarketing und Ansprechpartner: Bastian SchonauerCopyrights Cover: www.oldtimer-markt.de Hosted on Acast.

A woman charged in connection with the death of a toddler in Canton is now charged with second-degree murder in the case, police announced Friday. Phillissa Diallo, from Canton, was arrested Wednesday and charged with second degree cruelty to children and concealing a death, Canton Police Department reported. Friday, detectives secured an additional felony warrant and have charged Diallo with second-degree murder. According to the Canton Police Department, police received a walk-in report of a deceased toddler found inside a residence and responded at about 4:10 p.m. Wednesday to a home on Hearthstone Landing Drive, where they found the body of a female toddler. GBI Crime Lab will examine the body to determine the cause of death and identification confirmation. The toddler's death remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Canton Police Department. A north Georgia DJ was killed in a crash on Interstate 575 near Canton Thursday. According to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office, deputies responded at about 3 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 575 south near the Old Vandiver Road overpass. Preliminary indications are that Daniel Blankowski, of Talking Rock, driving a Kia Sedona south on the interstate, struck the rear of a Toyota FJ that had stopped for traffic due to a different accident in the city of Canton, the sheriff's office reported. Blankowski was transported to Northside Hospital Cherokee, where he died from his injuries, authorities said. The driver of the FJ was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Blankowski was known as DJ Dano to friends and others in the community, his daughter, Jazeri McHenry, said. McHenry said the local coroner told the family Blankowski had a heart attack while driving. The crash remains under investigation by the Cherokee Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Unit. Cherokee County District Attorney Shannon Wallace has been appointed by Governor Brian Kemp to serve as the county's newest Superior Court judge, the governor's office announced. Wallace will be the fourth judge on the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit Superior Court, a position created earlier this year by state law. Cherokee is the only county in the Blue Ridge circuit. Wallace is Cherokee County's first female district attorney. Before being elected, she was the chief assistant district attorney for the former District Attorney Garry Moss. Before coming to the district attorney's office, Wallace was a prosecutor in the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit in middle Georgia. She handled all manner of major felony offenses there, according to the governor's office, but quickly developed a passion for handling crimes against women and children. Wallace sits on the board of Cherokee FOCUS, a Cherokee County collaborative that focuses on creating strong family units. District Attorney Wallace also sits on the board of Cherokee Triad - S.A.L.T. and is an active member of the Canton Rotary and Cherokee Chamber of Commerce. The district attorney graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia in 1999 with a bachelor's in psychology and criminal Justice. She then received her juris doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law, graduating cum laude in 2002. The Reinhardt women's basketball team picked up its sixth consecutive win before heading into the winter break. Led by Maria Sanchez Ponce's double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds, the Eagles posted a 75-67 win over Bluefield on Tuesday to improve to 13-3 this season. It was a big offensive game for Reinhardt, which had three players in double figures, led by Julia Craft's 22 points and Summer Cramer's 13. Cramer also had a team-best seven assists. The Eagles also remained undefeated in the Appalachian Athletic Conference at 12-0, already nearing last year's conference win total of 15. Twelve conference games still reside on the schedule before the AAC tournament begins Feb. 20. Sanchez Ponce, a freshman from Spain, is third on Reinhardt's scoring chart at 10.1 points per game and second in rebounding with 7.1 per game. She has the highest field goal percentage on the team, converting on 51.9% of her shots. Ashley Woodroffe leads the Eagles in scoring at 14.8 points per game, followed by Craft's 12.9. Tarrah Gibson is grabbing 7.5 rebounds per game to lead the team, with 3.1 assists also counting as a team-best. Reinhardt is the only team in the AAC with an undefeated conference record, while its overall record is also the best. Bryan, Milligan, and Point trail the Eagles in the standings. Cherokee High School had six all-region selections in 5AAAAAAA, along with nine honorable mentions following the conclusion of the 2022 season. Senior linebacker Kyan Simmons and junior defensive lineman Javon Hobson earned first-team honors. Simmons finished the year with 103 tackles, 11 sacks and 10 tackles for loss, while Hobson tallied 58 tackles, seven sacks and seven tackles for loss. Simmons had a big impact in Cherokee's 30-14 win at Kennesaw Mountain toward the end of the season. It was the deciding game on if the Warriors would qualify for the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs, and Simmons totaled 13 tackles, four tackles for loss and two sacks. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker received his first Division I offer from Marist on Monday. Cherokee's other two first-team members were senior kicker Rodion Averianov and junior punter Reed Chandley. Averianov connected on four of six field goals this season with a long of 51 yards and did not miss an extra point all year, despite being a late addition to the team. Chandley averaged 40 yards per punt, which Shaw said consistently gave the Warriors an advantage in flipping field position. Another special teams player, long snapper Spencer Radnoti, also deserved recognition, according to Shaw. On the all-region second team, the Warriors saw junior receiver Pops Jameson and junior defensive lineman JD Burn earn recognition. Jameson finished the season as Cherokee's leading receiver with 400 yards and four touchdowns on 32 receptions, while Burn finished with 42 tackles, six tackles for loss and one sack. Sophomore quarterback Tanner Savasir led the Warriors' nine honorable mentions, along with Jayce Jones, one of Savasir's favorite targets in the passing game.   The Cherokee County fire department's first chief has died. Joe Carmichael died December 10 at his home in Corryton, Tennessee, at the age of 79. Carmichael was born in Birmingham and moved to Cherokee County in 1972, spending a large portion of his adult life in Cherokee before he eventually moved to Tennessee. The former fire chief began his fire service career at the City of Atlanta Fire Department. In Cherokee County, he started out as a firefighter in the Oak Grove Volunteer Fire Department. Carmichael became Cherokee County's first fire chief in 1973 when he noticed there was no fire protection. All firefighter positions were volunteer. The fire chief position was on a volunteer basis until 1976, when Carmichael became the official fire chief of unincorporated Cherokee County and started receiving pay for his services. Carmichael also founded the Oak Grove Civic Association. The county's fire department has grown from fewer than 10 members when it first went paid to almost 500 members today. Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services plans to have a small memorial service in the spring, according to a Facebook post by the department. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/             See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Greetings, fellow Bastardo! This week we have Jonathan Ward on the show! Jonathan is the founder and CEO of ICON 4x4, and while you may know him as the king of the restomod Toyota FJ, there's a ton more to him and his story. In this episode Jonathan and Phil cover some of the other amazingly Bastardo restomods Jonathan and his team create, as well as watches that Jonathan loves and then a full on "nerdapalooza," over mechanical bits and pieces. The Viva Bastardo Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network.

It was time to do a promo for HRN 451, to be titled New Rig… Who Dis?. David W0DHG was driving home (LA) from San Francisco. Gary K4AAQ anchored from the Studio in the Bonus Room Above the Garage on the North Side of Fort Mill (SC), in the Shadow of Charlotte, at the Foot of Mt. Belzoni.A little over three hours later, then were done… apparently only because David arrived home.David was in SF to visit one of his daughters. While they were attending an event, David's rental car (good gas mileage offset rental price) was broken into, and his backpack with a PC and his AnyTone HT (in the trunk, not on the seat, so the thief was onto that trick) were stolen. And a window was broken. So much for savings. Likely his 2007 Toyota FJ, bristling with antennae, would not have been so assaulted. No, it doesn't take three hours to tell that story, so clearly there's more. Probably about 45 minutes of real entertainment, sadly embedded in 3+ hours of ‘show'.Oh, and ‘PROMORE'? That may have been a typo in the chat, or it may have been deliberate. Anyway, it's a new way to label our extended ‘promo' videos. WARNING!! A Zoom issue caused David's end of the call to echo everything Gary said. Gary - hearing his own voice which he loves - was good with that. Gary's wife Cyndi KD4ACW, said it was ‘very annoying'. This Website agrees with Cyndi. Listen at your own risk

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Toyota FJ Cruiser - the "other" Land Cruiser. The FJ Cruiser was Toyota's attempt at harkening back to the off-road roots of the Toyota Land Cruiser. This was done in the form of a quirky mid-size SUV that was inspired by the FJ40 from the 1960s. The question is, if the FJ40 was so successful, why wasn't the FJ Cruiser?

In this episode of TFL Talkin' Cars, Tommy and Roman discuss one of the lowest-depreciating cars around - and no, it's not the Jeep Wrangler. It is, in fact, the Toyota FJ Cruiser, which can set you back nearly as much as they cost to buy new! Here's what you need to know, and why you should consider picking one up. Or, if that's too much for your blood, consider a 4Runner.

In this episode, we invite the legendary Jonathan Ward into the studio to talk about affordable vintage watches! Jonathan has a long history with The Smoking Tire, as the creator of an incredible array of project cars for some very wealthy paying customers. He is primarily known for the ICON series of Toyota FJ and Ford Bronco resto-mods, but if it's mechanical and manly, odds are, Jon knows a lot about it.  He has over 100 watches, and so we asked him to bring a selection of fine vintage watches that could be bought online for under $1,000. We go over several examples, and then Jon gives us his strategy for finding good vintage watches on eBay. Finally, we get an exclusive look at the final, production version of Jon's first ever watch design, "The Duesey," and it's very cool storage box. Learn more about Jonathan Ward, his custom trucks, or The Duesey watch at: http://www.icon4x4.comThis episode is available as a video!

I like me. I like me not. I like me. I like me not. Have you ever felt that way? Some moments you love who you are and then some days you can't bear to look in the mirror. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. I was there recently. You know, I think that sometimes it's not that we dislike ourselves, it's that we dislike where we are at. For instance, no one expects anyone to be happy about a hurricane, but we can find happy in the midst of one. In this episode we're roadtrippin' with Stevo. Coming to you from my friend's Toyota FJ in the Mountains of Southern California. What am I doing there? Painting. Why am I painting in the mountains of California and how do I feel about it?
