Met a rescued koala joey being cared for by Kangala Wildlife Rescue, who also famously rescued Valerie the daschund, but also hundreds of kangaroos, wallabies and possums in the past five years.

Excited! My Zeekr 7X has been allocated to me and I have the VIN.
Arrives in Adelaide next month, but probably won't be ready for delivery till after the holidays, and after the fridge etc has been fitted.

I'll always enjoy seeing the Hertz Polestars around town.
Meanwhile, Adelaide car dealer just called about insurance and financing for my new Zeekr 7X that is due onshore next month, probably January for delivery after its fit out.
No VIN yet.
Maybe I'll lease this time, or at least look into it.

Quite unusual for the RAAF P-8 Poseidon to squawk on @flightradar24.com even though you can't miss the distinctive 737 whine as they fly overhead at 20,000 ft hunting for submarines and stuff.

This red MG4 is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Only the orange Xpower brake covers give it away.
My new Zeekr ZX will also have orange caliper covers for its Akebono brakes.

Honoured to be guest speaker to talk about my EV experience at this year's Kangaroo Island Eco-Action annual general meeting, held at Strepera reserve on the north coast.
Afterwards we went out to check out the Polestar, although there were Kona and Atto owners there, so preached to the converted.

The place name stickers I collected on my EV travels in the past few months are ready for placement on my charging board.
Also going on soon is a new wall box charger that comes with my Zeekr 7X.
Unfortunately I'm only on single phase, otherwise I'd be home charging at 22kW!
