Almost the weekend

[AmericanThunder]

It's almost the weekend and by 4:30 I should be on my way home.
So what's everyone up to this weekend?
We are having a few drinks at home tonight but tomorrow we are going to a little town on the Thames River for breakfast followed by a scenic walk along the river. Then in the afternoon I am test driving two cars. The Auris hybrid I have as my company car now is on a lease and I need to choose a full time replacement. So tomorrow will be the Toyota Prius and the Hyundai Ioniq. Both chosen for their BIK rate (how much I'm taxed) and their MPG figures.
Sunday is a long run (8-10 miles) and maybe get the Challengers rear brake pads changed.
Soon be Monday, dammit!

Weekend will soon go, Not sure what I'm up to yet. Sarah tries to walk 10k steps a day, so probably doing a bit of walking. Got some programming to so, and Sarah parents coming over some time over the weekend.

I must clean the Kia, looks rather grubby.

Good luck test driving the two cars, let me know how it goes. If I had to choose one of the two without knowing any specs, I'd go Hyundai. The Prius was the most rear ended car a few years back, dont know why, do hesitant drivers drive them? or are the brake lights hard to see? who knows, Just that alone would swing my choice, but that's my reasoning behind it.

On both tax and mpg the Prius wins, but the Hyundai has a real gearbox so the driving experience might offset that. At 25000 miles a year for 3 years it has to make economic sense as well as pleasing me.

Got some studying to do to. It looks like I've got the go-ahead to kick off an ISO27001 project so got a book to read there and I want to gain an accreditation in Six Sigma so two books to read there. Hopefully I'll still find time to enjoy the car and run this year.

And with regard to being rear-ended I suspect it's because drivers of them try to pull away on electric only. If you accelerate harder you kick the petrol engine in and MPG suffers.
