Fórum yfir tónleika Laufeyjar Lín, köstuðum upp yfir Chelsea og svakalega er Bruno góður. Nýr VW og Igor Tudor.

Die Kapitalseite beendet den Machtkampf um den Aufsichtsratsvorsitz. Doch Ruhe kehrt damit wohl nicht bei VW ein – es stehen harte Entscheidungen an.

Benjamin's takes on the 2026 Hyundai Elantra N Line, a car inspired by the sport compacts of yore. The N Line features an upgraded engine and a sportier suspension system, but is it really an enthusiast oriented model, or just an excuse to hike up the price for Hyundai's compact car? Then Sami reviews the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas. After testing so many three-row crossovers lately, Sami turns his attention to the German family-friendly ride, which has been thoroughly refreshed in recent years. However, one glaring red flag spoils Sami's recommendation of the Atlas; can you guess what it is? Finally, the show shares some important and interesting news about Honda's deep-in-development EVs, which are now cancelled. Sami and Benjamin discuss what this means for the EV market in the US and the automotive industry as a whole. Thanks for listening!

All trims charge 10–80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, with a $1,495 destination charge across the board.FORD CUTS EXPLORER ENTRY PRICE WITH LFP BATTERYFord has revised its European Explorer EV with a new LFP battery pack, growing usable capacity from 52 kWh to 58 kWh and boosting WLTP range 17% to 444 km (276 miles), while a stronger APP350 motor lifts output to 140 kW and cuts the 0–100 km/h time to 8.0 seconds. The updated model starts at €39,990 in Germany and adds vehicle-to-load charging, refreshed infotainment, expanded driver assistance features, and standard one-pedal driving, though peak DC charging drops from 145 kW to 110 kW.LUCID NAMES MIDSIZE SUVS COSMOS AND EARTHLucid revealed at Investor Day 2026 that its two upcoming midsize electric SUVs will be called Cosmos and Earth, targeting a ~$50,000 starting price and production before end of 2026. Both will use 800V architecture, bidirectional charging, the new in-house Atlas drive unit (23% lighter, 30% fewer parts), and Lucid claims just 69 kWh would be sufficient for 300 miles of range thanks to a 0.22 drag coefficient.LUCID GRAVITY ADDS CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTOLucid has rolled out an OTA update (UX 3.5) bringing wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to the Gravity SUV for North American owners now, with Europe and the Middle East to follow in late March. Both systems display on the Gravity's 6K Clearview Cockpit screen, addressing one of the most requested features from Lucid customers.JAECOO 8 UK SALES START IN MAYThe Jaecoo 8, a three-row flagship SUV, goes on sale in the UK in May priced from £45,500, using Chery's Super Hybrid System pairing a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with a three-speed auto for 422 bhp, 83 miles of electric-only range, and over 700 miles of combined range. Two trims are offered — Luxury (seven seats, £45,500) and Executive (six Nappa leather captain's chairs, £47,500) — with DC fast charging up to 40 kW for a 30–80% charge in about 20 minutes.EU EV PRICES FALL AS SMALL CARS RETURNAverage EU electric car prices dropped €1,800 to €42,700 in 2025 — the first decline since 2020 — driven by a surge in affordable B-segment BEVs like the Citroën ë-C3 and Renault 5, whose average segment prices fell 13%. T&E expects further price pressure in 2026 as Volkswagen Group prepares a small-car family including the ID. Polo, Cupra Raval, and Skoda Epiq, all targeting around €25,000.HONDA AXES THREE US EVSHonda has cancelled the 0 Series SUV, 0 Series Saloon, and Acura RSX for U.S. production, warning of losses up to ¥2.5 trillion ($15.8 billion) as it reverses its EV strategy amid rollbacks of U.S. fossil fuel regulations and removal of EV incentives. CEO Toshihiro Mibe said the priority is to "stop the bleeding," with operating losses now expected up to ¥1.12 trillion in the current fiscal year; the Sony-Honda Afeela brand is unaffected.VOLKSWAGEN SETS ID. POLO FROM €25,000Volkswagen will world-premiere the entry-level ID. Polo next month, starting at €25,000 and marking the first ID model to carry an established VW brand name. The range spans 37 kWh LFP and 52 kWh NMC battery options with outputs from 85 kW to 166 kW, and includes an R-Line (~€35,000, ~211 hp) and a GTI variant, with up to 450 km (280 miles) of WLTP range from the larger pack.ENEL COMPLETES 3,730 CHARGING STATIONSEnel has finished installing 3,730 EV charging stations across five Italian regions under the first tender of Italy's PNRR recovery plan, with each station offering two points capable of up to 90 kW each. The network is accessible via Enel's app or card and integrates with around 160 mobility service providers, with a further 1,200 stations already contracted under subsequent tenders.ELECTREON COMPLETES INDUCTEV ACQUISITIONElectreon has finalized its acquisition of U.S.-based InductEV, combining dynamic in-road wireless charging with InductEV's high-power stationary wireless charging for heavy-duty transit and freight. The merged portfolio now covers highway and urban corridor charging (LINE), burst charging at stops (DASH), depot charging (DOT), and heavy-duty freight charging (Ultra DOT).SCANDLINES STARTS BALTIC WHALE SERVICEScandlines launched the Baltic Whale on 10 March 2026, claiming it as the world's largest electric freight ferry in operation at 147 metres, running the 18.5 km Rødby–Puttgarden route carrying 66 freight units. Its 10 MWh battery can fully recharge in just 12 minutes via a dedicated 50 kV / 25 MW cable, with an automated docking tower connecting in 15 seconds, while a hybrid diesel mode reduces crossing time from one hour to 45 minutes.

Carburetors have long been one of the very first performance upgrades people make to their classic Volkswagens. But with so many choices out there—Weber DCNFs, IDAs, IDFs, and the various Dellorto options in 36, 40, and 45mm—it can be hard to know which setup is right for your engine. In this episode, we sit down with Rick Hunt of Rick Hunt Industries, a man who rebuilds carburetors every single day. Rick has been part of the Volkswagen scene since the mid-1980s, when he started working at a VW shop in Simi Valley. There he learned mechanical work, engine rebuilding, and eventually developed a specialty in carburetors—something he's become widely known for throughout the VW community. Today, Rick rebuilds carburetors for professional engine builders and enthusiasts alike. His deep knowledge of Weber and Dellorto carburetors helps people choose the right setup for their engine combination and get the most performance out of their dual-carb systems. We talk about the differences between popular carburetor models, common mistakes people make when selecting carbs, and what information you should provide when sending your carburetors in for a rebuild. The more details you give, the better the end result when you receive those freshly rebuilt Webers back. If you've ever wondered which carburetor setup is right for your VW—or how to get the most performance and drivability out of your dual carbs—this episode is packed with practical tips and real-world knowledge from someone who's been doing it for nearly 40 years.   Heres a link to one of Georges videos on Syncronizig carburators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f5E1oZyajw&t=26s

A new RGEV medium 2.0 platform with 800V architecture enables up to 466 miles of range, or 869 miles with an optional range extender.RENAULT MEGANE TO ADD RANGE-EXTENDER OPTIONThe next-generation Renault Mégane will be offered as both a fully electric and a range-extender model, with the EREV version targeting an 870-mile total range. The new platform cuts production costs by around 40% versus current EVs, and the cabin will feature a Google-co-developed software system with future AI integration for safety and driver assistance.ALPINE SETS OUT ITS ELECTRIC A110 PLANThe next-generation Alpine A110 will launch as a battery-electric model on the Alpine Performance Platform, using an 800V architecture, dual rear motors, and targeting over 500 bhp, a sub-1.5-tonne kerbweight, and up to 373 miles of range. Alpine is aiming for a lightweight, driver-focused character closer to the current A110 than a performance EV like the Taycan, with torque vectoring recalibrating every 10 milliseconds.MICRA 52KWH GETS FULL UK EV GRANTThe Nissan Micra 52kWh now qualifies for the full £3,750 UK Electric Car Grant following a switch to a Europe-sourced battery, bringing its entry price to £23,245. The entry-level 40kWh variant retains the lower £1,500 grant, with Micra pricing starting from £21,495, and first UK deliveries scheduled for April.VOLKSWAGEN REBRANDS ID.3 SUCCESSOR AS ID.3 NEOVolkswagen will rename the ID.3 successor the ID.3 Neo, with a world premiere set for mid-April, bringing the brand's latest software including One Pedal Driving, enhanced Travel Assist with traffic light detection, and Vehicle-to-Load capability. The same software platform will extend to upcoming smaller EVs including the ID. Polo, ID. Polo GTI, and ID. Cross.VOLKSWAGEN TARGETS 50,000 JOB CUTS BY 2030Volkswagen Group plans to cut 50,000 jobs by 2030, 43% more than previously disclosed, as profits hit their lowest point since the 2016 diesel scandal due to weak China demand and US tariffs. After spending roughly €12 billion on its in-house software unit CARIAD, VW has scaled back and turned to outside partners including Rivian, committing $5.8 billion to use Rivian's software stack in future EVs starting with the ID.1 in 2027.KIA ENDS NIRO EV WITH HYBRID REFRESHKia has discontinued the Niro EV with the model's latest refresh, which launches only as a hybrid in South Korea. Kia CEO Jung Won-Jung confirmed the decision, stating the company now focuses its EV efforts on the dedicated EV3-through-EV9 lineup.MG OPENS UK ORDERS FOR S9 PHEVMG has opened UK orders for the S9 PHEV, a seven-seat SUV priced from £34,205 that offers 62 miles of electric-only range and sits in the 9% benefit-in-kind tax band. It uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 24.7kWh battery supporting 7kW AC charging, undercutting the rival Chery Tiggo 9 by nearly £9,000.MG 4X BRINGS SEMI-SOLID BATTERY TO SUVSAIC has unveiled the MG 4X, an electric SUV based on the MG4 platform that features a semi-solid-state battery as standard across all trims. The battery uses manganese-based lithium-ion chemistry, reduces liquid electrolyte content to 5% for improved safety and longevity, and the MG 4X targets a CLTC range from 510 km (317 miles).BYD WEIGHS F1 AND LE MANS MOVEBYD is considering entering Formula 1 and the Le Mans World Endurance Championship, either by building its own team or acquiring an existing one, though no decision has been made. The move would complement BYD's performance brand Yangwang, whose U9 Xtreme recently set a production car speed record of 496.22 km/h at a German test track.

The cabin offers up to 8 seats, a 31-inch 8K rear cinema screen, electric sliding doors, a centre-console fridge, and pricing from roughly €68,000 to €135,000 in Germany.GM REVIVES BOLT, THEN SETS AN END DATEGM has brought back the Chevrolet Bolt for 2027 as the cheapest EV in the US at $28,995, featuring a 65 kWh LFP battery, 210 hp, 262 miles of EPA range, and 150 kW NACS fast charging with a 10–80% time of 25 minutes. However, GM plans only one model year of production, as ending Bolt output frees its Kansas City plant to shift Equinox assembly from Mexico to the US.PORSCHE ADDS CAYENNE S ELECTRICPorsche has added the 2026 Cayenne S Electric at $128,650, slotting between the 435 hp base model and the 1,139 hp Turbo with 536 hp standard and 657 hp on launch control, hitting 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds. It shares the range's 108 kWh battery and 400 kW peak DC charging, reaching 10–80% in under 16 minutes, and borrows the Turbo's direct oil-cooling system for improved thermal resilience.ELLI CONNECTS FIRST GRID BATTERY IN SALZGITTERVolkswagen's energy subsidiary Elli has connected its first large-scale battery storage system—a 20 MW / 40 MWh PowerCentre across 13 containers—to the grid in Salzgitter, Germany. The system uses cells from VW's PowerCo plant, trades energy on the European Power Exchange, and is designed to stabilise grids and support renewable energy integration.GENESIS GV90 SPOTTED CHARGING AT SUPERCHARGERA camouflaged Genesis GV90 has been photographed charging at a Tesla Supercharger in Mesquite, Nevada, confirming the model will feature a standard NACS port as Genesis rolls out NACS across all new US-market EVs from 2026 onward. The GV90 is expected to ride on Hyundai's new eM platform, which promises 50% more range than the current E-GMP architecture, with higher trims set to feature coach doors and panoramic displays.SLATE AUTO CHANGES CEO BEFORE TRUCK LAUNCHSlate Auto has replaced founder and CEO Christine Barman with Peter Faricy, a former Amazon VP and Ford executive, less than a year before the planned launch of its low-cost electric truck. Barman, the company's first hire and one of only two women leading a US automaker, moves to the role of president of vehicles at the Jeff Bezos-backed startup.DACIA READIES SECOND SMALL ELECTRIC CARDacia is preparing a second small EV to sit alongside the Spring, developed in under 16 months and targeted at under €18,000, built on Renault's AmpR Small platform that also underpins the Renault 5. The unnamed model is part of Dacia's plan to launch four new EVs by 2030, with design direction hinted at by the Dacia Hipster concept unveiled in October 2024.IVECO PUTS WIRELESS ROAD CHARGING INTO TRAFFICIveco has launched a real-world dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) trial on the A35 Brebemi motorway in northern Italy, using a production eDaily van fitted with inductive charging hardware that can charge both while stationary and while driving over embedded road sections. The project moves DWPT beyond lab testing into live traffic conditions, though it remains a technology demonstration rather than a commercial rollout due to the large infrastructure investment required for wide deployment.BYD, CHERY AND GEELY EYE CANADABYD, Chery, and Geely are preparing to enter the Canadian market by end of 2026 following a January trade reset between Canada and China, under which Canada agreed to allow 49,000 China-made EVs at the most-favoured nation tariff rate in exchange for lower Chinese tariffs on Canadian agricultural goods. Up to 15 additional Chinese brands could follow, though homologation remains the key bottleneck, with Tesla, Volvo, and Polestar best positioned to move quickly under the quota as they already have certified vehicles and established retail networks in Canada.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1288: Buy-sell activity ramps up as more dealerships and franchises change hands in Q4. Meanwhile, Volkswagen dealers launch a 600-store class action over Scout's direct-sales plan, and Ford patents a smart door system designed to prevent dents, injuries, and awkward parking lot moments.The dealership buy-sell market closed 2025 strong. Transaction count only ticked up slightly to 112, but the stores and franchises behind those deals hit multi-year highs — a delayed release from a slower first half shaped by tariff uncertainty and longer deal timelines.Dealerships trading hands jumped 19% to 163, while franchises involved surged 35% to 261 year-over-year.Stellantis led all brands with 25 CDJR stores changing hands — more than double Q4 2024Chevrolet came in second with 24 stores sold, driven by what Kerrigan Advisors calls "tremendous demand" tied to GM's domestic manufacturing position and relatively clean EV write-downsA group of VW dealers has filed a class-action lawsuit representing roughly 600 U.S. dealers, challenging Scout Motor's plan to sell vehicles directly to consumers.Dealer Fred Ippolito, didn't hold back, saying: “Volkswagen built their success on the backs of the dealer network, and now they're putting knives in the backs of the same dealers that helped them grow in this country.”Scout CEO Scott Keogh says the direct model is simply more efficient for modern automotive retail: “You can be dramatically more efficient with every single car that you make and exactly where that car goes.”VP of Commercial Operations Cody Thacker said the company repeatedly hears customers asking for direct sales, noting: “We have heard over and over again, ‘Please give me an alternative.' You see that there is very little trust in auto dealers today.”Ford may be trying to save your car door—and your neighbor's paint job. A newly surfaced patent reveals a smart door system designed to slow or stop a door before it hits nearby objects, combining sensors, software, and a mechanical brake.Ford's patented system uses accelerometers and obstacle sensors to detect how quickly a door is opening and whether something is in its path.If a collision is likely, a small mechanical brake with springs and pads engages to slow or stop the door—preventing dents, dings or worse.The design intentionally includes mechanical components to avoid the reliability issues sometimes seen with fully electronic systems.Door safety is getting more attention across the industry. Kia recalled 51,000 Carnival minivans after sliding doors continued closing on obstacles, causing several injuries.Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

It will be the second Neue Klasse model after the iX3, aimed squarely at the Tesla Model 3 and future premium rivals from Mercedes, Audi, Xpeng and BYD's Denza, with a full line-up planned including an electric M3.  TESLA UK DROPS 37% AS UK EV SALES RISE  Tesla's UK registrations fell 37% year-on-year in February to 2,422 units, even as the overall market hit its strongest February since 2004 and BEVs grew to 24.2% of new registrations, with Chinese brands like BYD surging 83%. Tesla has argued that monthly registration data is misleading versus orders and quarterly shipments, but critics note all brands face similar timing issues, and for now the headline picture is a growing UK EV market in which Tesla's share is shrinking.  EVGO ENDS 2025 WITH 5,100 FAST-CHARGING STALLS  EVgo closed 2025 with 5,100 DC fast-charging stalls in operation, up 25% year-on-year after a record Q4 net gain of about 510 stalls, including 320 company-owned units and 190 eXtend-branded stalls at partner sites. The network is getting both denser and faster, with nearly a third of stations now offering six or more stalls and 62% of all stalls equipped with 350kW hardware, up sharply from 50% in late 2024.  LUCID FEBRUARY US SALES JUMP ON GRAVITY RAMP  Lucid's US sales jumped to 1,500 vehicles in February, almost double January, driven by a sharp ramp in Gravity SUV deliveries alongside 900 Air sedans. With Gravity now starting at $79,900 (via the Touring trim) and supported by a $7,500 lease credit plus targeted trade-in offers for Tesla, Rivian and Polestar owners, Lucid is boosting US momentum even as European registrations remain minimal. VW DEALERS SUE OVER SCOUT DIRECT SALES  Two Volkswagen dealerships in Connecticut and New York have launched a class-action lawsuit against Scout Motors and Volkswagen, arguing that Scout's Tesla-style direct-to-consumer sales model violates existing VW franchise agreements and deprives dealers of a lucrative new brand. Scout and CEO Scott Keogh counter that Scout is a separate entity from Volkswagen Group of America and therefore not bound to use VW's franchised dealer network.  VOLKSWAGEN GROUP HITS FOUR MILLION BEV DELIVERIES  Volkswagen Group has delivered its four-millionth battery-electric vehicle, accelerating from nearly a decade to reach the first million to adding the fourth million in just one year, powered largely by its MEB platform and around 30 all-electric passenger models. Most BEVs are built and sold in Europe, where compact SUVs and crossovers such as the VW ID.4/ID.5 dominate, while China and the US account for smaller but growing shares of volume and production. EGBATT LAUNCHES NOVA 60 DUAL BUFFERED CHARGER  EGbatt's new Nova 60 Dual combines a 60kW DC fast charger with a 60kWh LiFePO₄ battery in a single outdoor unit, allowing sites to deliver full fast-charging power without expensive grid upgrades by relying on buffered energy. Optional 20kW DC solar input lets operators integrate rooftop PV directly, helping cut operating costs and increase the share of renewable energy used for charging. LOTUS ADDS RANGE-EXTENDER ELETRE X FOR CHINA  Lotus has responded to softer demand for high-end pure EVs by launching the Eletre X plug-in range-extender SUV in China, pairing a 70kWh battery and 900V fast-charging system with a 2.0-litre turbo engine that mostly drives a generator but can also clutch to the front wheels for motorway efficiency. Delivering 952bhp, 0–62mph in 3.3 seconds and around 150 miles of electric-only range in a 2.6-tonne package, the Eletre X shares its new Geely-platform underpinnings with the Zeekr 9X and is slated to reach the UK no earlier than 2027.

On this episode of Let's Talk Dubs, Bill breaks down his latest Volkswagen marketplace find — a 1973 VW Sport Bug, one of the coolest factory special editions Volkswagen produced in the early '70s. These cars were offered in just two colors, Marathon Blue Metallic or Saturn Yellow, and came from the factory with a unique package that included wider sport wheels, close-ratio steering, Recaro sport seats, a custom sport steering wheel, blacked-out trim, and the signature side racing stripe that made the Sport Bug stand out from the standard Beetle lineup. Bill talks about what makes the 1973 Sport Bug so unique, how rare these special edition Beetles really are, and what his plans are for this latest addition to the fleet. We also dive into the 2026 Volkswagen show season, previewing some of the major VW events coming up this year. Plus we recap Desert Dub Fest 5 in Phoenix, Arizona, which took place over Valentine's weekend and brought out a great crowd of air-cooled Volkswagen enthusiasts. George T. joins the conversation for a round-table discussion, along with updates on a few projects currently in the works. If you're into air-cooled VW Beetles, special edition Volkswagens, and the stories behind the cars, this is a fun one you won't want to miss.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1286: Scout Motors discovers that American truck buyers want a generator backup with their electrons, Flexcar bets big on Atlanta's appetite for flexible wheels, and UPS makes the largest buyout offer in company history as it braces for life after Amazon.Scout Motors set out to be a pure EV brand, but the market had other plans. Of 160,000 reservations for the Terra pickup and Traveler SUV, 87% of buyers chose the EREV version — blowing past CEO Scott Keogh's expected 60/40 split.The EREV pairs a ~63 kWh battery with a four-cylinder generator for roughly 500 miles of total range, compared to about 350 for the BEV — and Scout will launch the EREV version first given the demand, with pricing starting below $60,000.Scout isn't alone in this pivot: Ford, Ram, and Jeep all have EREVs arriving this year, making range-extenders the de facto off-road electrification strategy in the U.S.The brand's direct-to-consumer model is drawing legal fire from VW's existing dealer networkFlexcar, the subscription-based leasing company, is expanding its footprint in Atlanta.The company's model offers drivers a middle ground between leasing, renting and owning. The model lets customers pay one monthly fee covering insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance and registration—often with no long-term contract and the option to swap vehicles as needs changeThey are now expanding its Atlanta footprint with two new locations in Marietta and Morrow, adding more than 25,000 square feet of retail and lot space.The company says Atlanta members have already logged over 150 million miles in Flexcar vehicles, making it one of the platform's fastest-growing markets.Flexcar offers 200+ vehicle options locally, including popular models like the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Altima and Volvo XC60.UPS just made the largest buyout offer in company history — sending voluntary severance packages worth $150,000 to more than 100,000 van drivers. It's the latest move in a major restructuring plan centered around one uncomfortable truth: Amazon, UPS's biggest customer, is becoming its biggest competitor.UPS announced plans to cut Amazon's package volume by 50% over 18 months, citing Amazon as "not our most profitable customer." Its margin, per CEO Carol Tomé, is "very dilutive to the US domestic business."As one supply chain professor put it: "Just because they lose Amazon doesn't mean there's nobody else out there. There's stuff to move, and there's warehouses that need to be filled."Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

Improve your foiling skills in paradise! Join us in Montanita Ecuador May 23-30, 2026 for a foil drive / tow / prone foil camp with Ecuador Foil, KT Foiling & Julia Castro. Learn MoreOn this episode, Robert Ross (owner of Ecuador Foil and the ME Hotel & Villas - Montañita Estates) joins Luc Moore (host of the Foil Life Podcast) to share his journey from LA surfer to building a thriving life and foiling paradise in Montañita, Ecuador, where he's lived for over 15 years.Robert recounts his surf travels across Central and South America (including epic pre-internet Nicaragua missions and VW bus adventures to Costa Rica), how the 2008 financial crisis ironically set him up financially via Green Dot's prepaid debit card success, and why he chose Montañita in 2011 as his new home—describing it as feeling like "Costa Rica in 1999" with lively vibes, chaos he embraced, and unbeatable year-round foiling conditions.They dive deep into Ecuador as a hidden gem for prone, tow foiling, and winging: glassy protected coves, soft reef waves reminiscent of Trestles, no crowds or surfer competition, warm 80°F+ water, consistent Pacific swells (north and south), and spots accessible by boat or short drives.Episode Highlights:- Robert's path to foiling: From addicted surfer to kitesurfing in windy northern Peru (Mancora vibes), then kite foiling, prone, tow, and now winging—plus his excitement for upcoming parawing adventures- Montañita's setup: A vibrant surf town (bamboo bars, hammocks, piña coladas, lively nightlife with thousands on weekends) built around a main point break; his boutique hotel (15 condos, 15 rooms, pools, restaurant, gym on 2.5 acres overlooking town) doubles as base for foiling—gear stored in his boat, family-friendly with safe pools and nearby activities- World-class foiling paradise: Year-round waves (340+ foilable days), easy-learning "laboratory" reef for beginners (whitewater push like longboarding, straight takeoffs, reforms for pumping/connecting 10-20 waves), hidden offshore reefs for advanced riders, tow spots, and a protected glassy cove; seasonal wind spot 2 hours north (June-Dec thermals 14-18 knots, perfect for winging on left points with 5m wings/65L boards)- Operations and guiding: Customized tours via Ecuador Foil—airport pickups from Guayaquil/Quito, guided transfers to secret spots (tides are extreme, so local knowledge essential), prone lessons with top local instructor Mentol (anti-motor, drops double overhead like surfing), tow sessions with Robert/crew, rentals (Code, Axis Surge/Code 810x/A10x, various wings/boards for ~80kg riders), ~$125/day for 2-3 hours including guide/transport- Multi-discipline flexibility: Combine prone/tow in glassy Montañita with winging/downwind up the coast; intermediate/advanced wing tours; no full beginner wing lessons (recommends local schools for big boards), but epic for those with experience; family perks (non-foilers enjoy beaches, restaurants, snorkeling/scuba to islands, Galapagos trips nearby)- Why Ecuador stands out: Safer/more tropical/family-oriented than remote Peru spots like Chicama (better for non-riders/spouses/kids); no crowds, warm water, variety (prone, tow, wing, potential downwind/parawing); Robert's global foiling travels (Peru, Brazil, DR, Philippines, Australia, CA, Vietnam) always lead him back missing home's accessibility and consistency- Future stoke: Conquering a Chicama-length right point (tow-required, big south swells), more winging videos, group clinics (Luc eyeing a trip!), and sharing uncrowded perfectionIf you're chasing uncrowded warm-water wave foiling, easy prone entry, tow freedom, seasonal winging, or a laid-back tropical escape with family vibes and no crowds—this chat is packed with real inspiration, insider tips, and serious envy-worthy conditions.Check out Ecuador Foil at www.ecuadorfoil.com (tours, lessons, details), the ME Hotel & Villas at www.montanitaestates.com, reach Robert via Instagram @ecuadorfoil, or @robertxross1, YouTube @ecuadorfoil for prone/tow footage, or WhatsApp (linked on IG).

Author, counselor, and world traveler Rich Sherman Ph.D joins Vigilantes Radio Live to discuss his memoir You Can't Go Home Again: A Journey of Perseverance, Humor, and Heart

Se dice que la línea que separa la genialidad de la locura es extremadamente fina. Pero cuando en esa ecuación introducimos a un departamento de marketing con exceso de confianza y a un grupo de ingenieros con ganas de experimentar, esa línea no solo se difumina, sino que a veces desaparece por completo. Hoy vamos a celebrar esas ideas que, aunque hoy nos parezcan disparatadas, alguien, en una oficina de alto nivel, consideró que eran el futuro. 1. Audi A2: El capó que se convirtió en tabla de surf Empezamos con la sobria Alemania. El Audi A2 fue un coche adelantado a su tiempo, construido íntegramente en aluminio para ahorrar peso. Sin embargo, los ingenieros llevaron la obsesión por la eficiencia al extremo de pensar que el usuario final era incapaz de tocar el motor. 2. Austin Allegro: El volante "Cuadrado" En la Gran Bretaña de los 70, British Leyland estaba en una crisis creativa y de calidad. Para intentar destacar, decidieron que el volante circular estaba pasado de moda. El Austin Allegro de 1973 presentó el volante "Quartic": un rectángulo con las esquinas redondeadas. 3. BMW Z1: Las puertas que se hunden A finales de los 80, BMW quiso demostrar de qué era capaz su división técnica con el Z1 (Z de Zukunft, futuro). Lo más llamativo no era su chasis, sino sus puertas. En lugar de abrirse hacia fuera o hacia arriba, se deslizaban verticalmente hacia abajo. 4. Citroën C4: El volante de centro fijo Citroën siempre ha sido la marca de la excentricidad técnica. Con el primer C4, quisieron revolucionar la seguridad pasiva. Si el centro del volante no gira, el airbag puede tener una forma optimizada para el tórax humano, no una simple bolsa redonda. 5. Citroën DS Familiar: La doble identidad legal El icónico "Tiburón" en su versión familiar (Break) presentaba un portón dividido: la luneta subía y la parte inferior bajaba para permitir cargar objetos largos. Pero al bajar la portezuela, la matrícula quedaba mirando al suelo, algo ilegal. 6. Fiat 500L: La "Coffee Experience" a 120 km/h ¿Qué hay más italiano que un buen café? Fiat decidió llevar el concepto al extremo ofreciendo una cafetera Lavazza integrada en el coche. Por unos 250 euros, tenías una máquina de espresso que se anclaba entre los asientos delanteros. 7. Ford y los cinturones "ratón" A finales de los 80, EE.UU. obligó a las marcas a instalar sistemas de seguridad pasiva automática. Para ahorrar el coste de los airbags, Ford y otras marcas instalaron cinturones que se movían por un carril en el marco de la puerta. 8. Honda CR-V: El picnic de serie A veces, las tontunas son, en realidad, genialidades. El primer Honda CR-V estaba pensado para el ocio familiar. Si levantabas la alfombra del maletero para buscar la rueda de repuesto, descubrías que la propia tapa del suelo era una mesa de camping plegable con patas metálicas. 9. Hyundai Veloster: El coche asimétrico ¿Por qué un coche tiene que ser igual por los dos lados? El Veloster tenía una puerta de coupé en el lado del conductor y dos puertas en el lado del acompañante. 10. Nissan Cube: El "tupé" del salpicadero El Nissan Cube era un coche extraño de por vida, pero su interior escondía un accesorio oficial delirante: un trozo de alfombra circular de pelo largo que se pegaba en el centro del salpicadero. 11. Pontiac Aztek: La oficina de Walter White Famoso por ser uno de los coches más feos del mundo, el Aztek era, sin embargo, un prodigio de la funcionalidad "camper". Su consola central era una nevera portátil con asa y podía equipar una tienda de campaña oficial que se acoplaba a la parte trasera.. 12. Subaru BRAT y el "Impuesto del Pollo" Para evitar un arancel del 25% a las camionetas importadas en EE.UU. (el Chicken Tax), Subaru soldó dos asientos de plástico mirando hacia atrás en la caja de carga de su pick-up BRAT. Al tener asientos, legalmente era un "turismo" y solo pagaba el 2.5% de impuestos. 13. Toyota FJ Cruiser: Tres limpias son mejor que dos Debido a su parabrisas extremadamente ancho y vertical, dos limpiaparabrisas convencionales no llegaban a cubrir toda la superficie. Toyota, en lugar de diseñar un sistema complejo, simplemente puso tres brazos pequeños funcionando en paralelo. 14. Volkswagen New Beetle: El florero hippie En 1998, VW quiso apelar a la nostalgia de los 60 y colocó un florero de plástico transparente junto al volante. Fue una declaración de intenciones: el coche no era una máquina, era un estilo de vida. 15. Volvo S80: El sensor de latidos Volvo llevó la seguridad a la paranoia con un sistema que detectaba latidos cardíacos dentro del coche. Si al acercarte a tu vehículo el mando parpadeaba en rojo, significaba que alguien se había escondido en el interior para asaltarte.

Sieben Tore schoss der VfB in den letzten beiden Spielen, vier kassierte er und drei wurden ihm weggenommen. Wir reden drüber. Was war das für ein europäischer Feiertag für VfB-Fans in Glasgow: Die Schotten zeigten sich auf und abseits des Platzes als perfekte Gastgeber, so dass der VfB mit einem ordentlichen Polster in das Rückspiel am frühen Donnerstagabend geht. Wir sprechen über den Auswärtssieg bei Celtic ebenso wie über das Remis in Heidenheim und darüber, ob wir nicht vielleicht so gut spielen sollten, dass Sascha Stegemann es nicht versauen kann.

Mike swears he isnt a VW guy, Colin's internet goes down, and Sean has a light news week.

  "Karma" is the latest ground-breaking creation from Type 1 Restoration — Dennis Troggio's 1955 Lowlight Karmann Ghia that just captured the coveted Al Slonaker Award at the Grand National Roadster Show, the highest honor for non-roadster vehicles at the most prestigious indoor custom car show in the world. This wasn't their first shot at Slonaker glory. We get into the second attempt — and how lessons learned from the legendary "Turmoil" split-window Beetle (a build that redefined what was possible in the VW and hot rod world) shaped the philosophy behind Karma. Turmoil raised the bar. Karma shattered it. The 1955 Lowlight Karmann Ghia is already one of the rarest early production Volkswagens ever built — the very first year of Ghia production. Owner Dennis Troggio was also hands on with this build. But this car goes far beyond restoration. Nearly everything on Karma has been re-engineered, re-imagined, or custom-machined from scratch. The list of untouched parts is shorter than the list of one-off components. From custom-machined brake rotors carved out of solid cast iron, to intricate mechanical detailing throughout, no surface was overlooked. The interior, crafted by the world-renowned Recovery Room, is a masterclass in craftsmanship and restraint. Power comes from a 300 horsepower, full-race engine built by Doug Gonzales of RevMaster — a monster Type 1 powerplant that proves air-cooled performance belongs on the biggest stage. Competing against multi-million-dollar customs and elite coach-built machines, Karma didn't just show up — it changed the conversation. This win is proof that when precision engineering meets vision, a Volkswagen can stand toe-to-toe with the best custom cars in the world. We also talk about the evolution of Type 1 Restoration, the misunderstood builds, the favorites, the setbacks, and the relentless drive to keep pushing the envelope. If history has shown us anything, it's this: the next build coming from their shop will redefine expectations all over again. This episode is about craftsmanship, competition, redemption — and changing the game for Volkswagens on the biggest stage in custom car culture.

What happens when a comfortable life starts to feel small? We sit down with Barry Maughan to trace an 8,000‑mile drive from Alexandria to Africa's southern tip in a 1969 VW combi bus, and the deeper journey from chasing success to finding meaning. A sudden coup in Libya shut a border and opened a path that led through dust tracks, steel‑belted tyres, and the unvarnished generosity of strangers who refused payment and offered help with a smile.We explore the difference between governments and people, and why most danger comes from regimes, not villagers. Barry shares the Cairo friendship that quietly reshaped everything. Serendipity kept showing up, including a stop at a radio station in Addis Ababa between 1969 and 1975, which led to a career in broadcasting, covering history in real-time and later hosting programs for the Voice of America's English to Africa service.Along the way, we talk practical grit and tender moments: navigating without GPS, patching tubes under acacia thorns, and an unforgettable exchange between two mothers, linked by the same protective love. With a one‑year‑old in the back, the road demanded preparation and humility, and returned lessons about global citizenship, family, and care that outlast any itinerary. Beneath the African Sun, Barry's new book, gathers the photos, the near‑misses, and the quiet truths about travel, courage, and the people who make a journey possible.If stories like this move you, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review.

Es ist absurd: Seit Jahren investiert der VfL Wolfsburg massiv in seinen Kader und bekommt als Ertrag historisch schlechte Leistungen zurück. Mit Maximilian Müller sprechen wir über eine Saison der verpassten Chancen und der systemischen Probleme.

Steve ironmanned a Class 1 from Ensenada to La Paz—no driver change, no flats, 20+ hours; 2nd in class, 3rd overall in 1979. There is much more to a lifetime of racing.  Listen in for dusty silt-bed memories, class-building history, and the camaraderie that makes off-road special.Support the show
