REVIEW: 2021 KIA Rio.

Got this as a body shop courtesy car as my #E82Robin was being mended after an unfortunate incident with a deer in California. As you’d expect, this is pretty much as rental-spec as they go. Cloth manual seats, no sunroof, complete with plastic-covered steel rims, and with (yay!) a CVT gearbox. Oh bloody joy.

REVIEW: 1997 Toyota Regius, or Why I Love This JDM Minivan

This is the 1997 Toyota Regius. 

You have probably never heard of this, because they never sold this in North America. It’s only (mostly) available in Japan, and often exported to places like Hong Kong (where I grew up) as a used, reasonably-priced, and ultra-practical family hauler.

Mount Panorama

So I finally did something that I haven’t really done before — spending a month living in a foreign country. Needless to say, Australia is now one of my favourite places on earth, with beautiful scenery, awesome people, and (so much) delicious food.
