Loved my old Matiz, V reg and tatty as hell.The best laugh I had was at Heathrow. I travel to Ukraine a lot and used to bomb up and down the M3 in it. Because it was an old ratty car it didn't matter if it got damaged in the car park. One time, after returning to the long stay car park in the bus from the terminal, I got off the bus at the same stop as a 'suit', you know the type, considerably better than most,all expensive luggage and new Audi. My old Matiz was parked a few cars down from his Q7, having been there just over a fortnight.While trying to juggle my cases into the back of the Matiz, there was the unmistakeable click click click of flat battery......coming from the Q7....my old Matiz fired right up, and with a cheeky beep beep as we passed the stricken Audi, roared off in 3 cylinder heaven....
Is 15,617 views and counting a record for a man popping to the shops in a Daewoo Matiz? Seriously I love these vlog style videos with your random mouth noises!!! More videos of popping to the shops please Ian :)
Used Lancaster Insurance to insure my Austin 1300. £93.20 fully comprehensive. And took her for a drive today too, made me feel like growing my hair, and growing a beard. Lol thanks Ian for all your brilliant videos 👍
The reason I love your videos so much is because of the lack of scripting and glamorous editing. It's real everyday life, as I know it. No made up bullshit with false jeopardy and cliffhangers. 'OMG, my Lambo(that I heavily financed dependent on my UA-cam views) just spat it's dummy out,,,,,,,Find out why in the next episode'. It put a light on because the pads are getting low. Etc etc. You are just you. No bullshit. Take it or leave it.
Couldn't agree more with every word you said mate. The only super car channel worth watching is Harry's Garage. Harry's a true enthusiast who's worked hard. HubNut is up there with Harry's Garage for me but for everyday cars. Ian and Harry are knowledgeable car enthusiasts and both make great quality informative content. HubNut is No1 for me too :)
Fun ride along IAN, Wake up in the middle of the night and go on a fun adventure with an interesting car man. Who is very good at narrating and conversation. That you create on the fly is part of the charm. Indeed talking with a friend or neighbor 6 or 8 thousand miles nextdoor is a pleasant pleasure and relaxing. Well done IAN Carry on. Rich And carnivorous kitties in LA. California USA
Interesting as always. The Matiz can be a scary but fun car. I had a garage loaner while my mx5 got sorted. And without thinking took a long corner at my usual speed and got a serious wtf adrenaline buzz.
Classic HubNut content again...... Dont change a thing Ian...... Love the way you stroked the Matiz along at a good 50-60mph.......probably more legal fun than in a modern 300bhp hot hatchback.
This is my car's Grandfather! I have a 2013 Chevrolet Spark which is sold as a Daewoo Matiz in some markets. I like watching your videos because I really like seeing the English countryside and all the little villages.
Sometimes the cars that shouldn’t be endearing or characterful just end up being loved even more. My base model fiesta (rest in peace) was set out to be the most boring sensible car known to mankind but it was properly fun and punched above its weight in terms of performance. Obviously a few choice mods helped it to be a bit more unique, but I did really love that car just as I love my motorcycle. Btw if you want a decent action camera I’d suggest an akaso ek7000. I got one recently and it comes with loads of accessories and fits all GoPro accessories too. Love the matiz, excellent video.
The people demanded more Myrtle and HubNut delivered! 😁😁Great to see the old girl and glad that you are still enjoying owning her. I agree that the original Matiz is a great looking car and massively underrated too. I’ve actually been looking for one as a project for a while but finding one with solid sills is proving surprisingly tricky! Anyway, excellent “random mouth noise”! More please! 😜👍🏻
Passed my driving test in a Matiz in 2014, it was perfect for the job. The bigger Corsa that belonged to my driving instructor was a bit of a pain from a visibility standpoint. Big a pillars and a swoopy belt line just wasn't going to be helpful, but the Matiz was miles better, so easy to place on the road and so friendly to a new driver.
This makes me miss my (facelifted) 2001 Matiz. I agree the M100 looked way better, but I found my M150's derpy face oddly endearing. I also loved the 3 cylinder's throaty tenor, and the sloth face in the steering wheel. Huge fan of the channel! Keep doing what you're doing :-)
Love, love, love that 3 cylinder sound. The Matiz seems to be one of those cars that is so close yet just misses out on the cigar. Just a few design tweeks and it could be great. I suppose that's why it qualifies for the fleet. Oh, and keep randomly rambling, it's a skill!
Another classic Hubnut video. Seemingly nothing much, but in reality quite a lot. Was the train the Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge Vale of Rheidol railway? PS More random mouth noise. No teams, one-man. Keep it HubNut!
I like this little car. The last time I was in Yorkshire, I saw a Matiz wearing a Chevrolet badge. We never got that one in Canada, but we got the Spark instead, which I understand was a Matiz elsewhere. It has a 1275cc four cylinder engine, and for a while, in Oregon and California, there was an EV version available. That would have been interesting. Thanks for producing these videos, Ian. Your love of cars and enthusiasm is always welcome.
I prefer the original matiz too, and the colour of mercle. I just got my Hub Nut merch delivery today and very happy with it. I loved the way you used the tshirt to protect the mugs in the box, very Hub Nut that, but thanks Ian very happy with them.
My late Grandad owned 3 or 4 of these from when the Matiz first came out till he died about 11 years ago. He would have a new one and trade it in every 3 years when the MOT was due for another new one. I always remember how fast the car sounded, that little engine sounded like a right beast to me as a youngster who didn't know much about cars.
Great little Video. Something we both have in Common Hubnut is we Both own a Daewoo. Both from the 1990s as well. Mine just happens to be a Nexia. I can relate to the steering too and the unstableness well I lost the back end of my Nexia on some snow once. Quite an exciting experience.
My daughters first car was a Matiz and I loved driving it around town. Yes it was noisy,cramped and had rust issues but it was FUN! The daughter lives in Norwich and she made the journey to Yorkshire where I live, several times a year with no problems until the fateful night when a boy racer smashed into her and wrote 'Bugsy' off...rip Bugsy.
Hi Ian,nice to see Myrtle in its form,its a tidy little motor,youre a lucky man living by a railway track I wouldn't be in the house just train spotting LOL,i do enjoy these videos with a sort of front seat view.
Hi Hub Nut.I too love the sound of the Matiz engine I think they are great and put a smile on your face. To me they are the modern A 35 small but room for four, cute with a happy face and bags of character. 👍
Always interesting and entertaining, even if you sometimes don't have much to say - it doesn't matter. I always have some reaction to them. And today's reaction is how clean and tidy inside the Matiz is. You must be very fond of that little car, quirks and all. And why not? If I could find my first car (Viva 1600 HB) again after all these years, I'd look after it too.
Glad to hear that Hubnut isn't going to sell the Matiz! I mean he was so lucky to find it once more after he foolishly sold it previously. Myrtle really needs to be part of the Hubnut permanent fleet. Unlike the Mazda which is so unloved it just sits there leaking itself to death from the inside out 😋
Great weather for Easter. Look forward to a summer of pouring rain and gale force winds. Love the sound of three cylinders. Nice to see Wales in the sun
we are in South Wales. Going home back to Wigan today. Weather is about to turn horrible tonight so thought it mite be a good idea to get home while we can. Some lovely driving roads down here near Carmarthen. Well they are when you don't have numpty's up your arse.
What a great sound she makes. Sorry I missed you at Scotoshite on Wednesday. You might have liked my 3 cyl Corsa B that I was going to bring. It has rudimentary silencing apparatus, sporty suspension, good tyres and light controls and is a lot of fun for 55bhp. Firm ride from the hard suspension though!
Gotta love the mini-V6 sound of that engine. I’ve always liked these. Suspension fettle and slightly bigger/wider wheels would probably really stabilise the ride no end. Please don’t get rid of her again!
The Matiz growl reminds me of the Peugeot 107 I used to drive through Motability. I switched to a 208 as I didn't like the 108 that replaced the 107. That was a fun car to drive. Keep up the random musings.
Your videos come together really well - maybe minimal cheapish equipment, but the end result is excellent and very watchable. It looks like you need to invest a little capital to find a solution to your gimble woes. You say you've lost money on Myrtle, but I don't think many people make a profit on old cars, apart from a few specialist companies - it's more a labour of love.
On the gimbal front there are a couple of things you could try. Have a look at getting a 90 degree 3.5mm mic adapter to clear the motor housing. Also you may possibly have it set up to some kind of pitch follow mode rather than keeping it level.
The Gimbal Bimble, where even popping to the shops is entertaining. Now I’m noticing cars like yours elsewhere... I saw a cream coloured Reliant Fox in Sudbury earlier.
I was just repairing the rear heated screen on the Ford (spit spit), and looked at my tatty external HubNut sticker and thought i'll order a new one. Get on the computer and what's the first thing i see a HubNut vid to watch , life is good. Apart from the rain. Stickers ordered, please deliver them to the post office in TWC.
fond memories...or maybe just memories. I had a Matiz as my first car. Managed to repeatedly snap the clutch cable which my dad put down to me driving like an idiot but I was later told by RAC its a common problem with these cars. Was very cheap to run though! Great vid :)
There's a three cylinder Corsa which drives round my area. The owner has put a loud exhaust on it. I'm not usually into that sort of thing but I have to admit that car sounds amazing!
Right-angled jack adaptor for the external mic. would bring the phone back more into the centre of the mount - it looked like the plug was fouling the gimbal body which wouldn't help. The three-cup mount looks to be the junior version of what I've seen used to mount broadcast cameras on the bonnets of cars. Edit - noticed someone else has mentioned the right-angle adaptor. The other good thing is that in the gimbal, an adaptor would place less strain on the socket and the PCB in the phone.
I had the same issue with my phone and the DJI Gimbal. I bought a low profile 90 degree adapter for the mic lead and all was well as I could get the phone pretty much fully across. Ebay - couple of quid :)
THe Daewoo MAtiz, owned mostly by elderly little ladies in my experience. Very reliable little car, hardly ever goes wrong. Cheap as chips to run and service. Its the ultimate city car. Check your underseat wiring loom for broken wire, likely to be the cause of the airbag light on..
Great video. Love that hard working 3 cyl sound. I have heard from 2-3 you tuber that have had DjI asmo stabilizers that they are problematic. Only in Japan had one and had nothing but problems with battery related issues and conking our despite full charges, non-existent warranty service. In a pinch he ordered a zhiyun smooth-Q which was notably and that worked well for over a year of constant use, but then slowly started wearing out and tilting. Unfortunately New was out of stock, so he bought a new DJI model only to have some different problems. No great. Drones work well apparently tho.
I definitely understand why you wouldn’t want to sell Mertal, the off the cuff videos are what UA-cam is all about in my opinion and why I love watching your videos. Cheers.
These pre facelift Matizes (?) look really adorable. You definitely should save it, firstly because of the sentimental value and also partly because there won’t be many of these left soon :( Oh, and having a steam train go right past your house is so cool.
I would say that it is a great job to have a second ownership of that lovely little car as it's a no nonsense A to B vehicle. Also just shows the work that you have to put in with gimbals and other fixtures to bring us your videos which you are very good at. Wonder what ever happened to Daewoo as a manufacturer? . 👍 Tam.
Try a 90 degree mike plug instead of the straight one you have. It will give you more clearence to move your phone nearer the centre. It might help. Good vids Ian.
Always nice to see the little Matiz! Also an L-Shape 3.5mm jack extension might help out a huge amount with the gimbal and it should be rather cheap to get as well. :D
You can also get mikes that have right angle plugs. At the moment you can't move the phone anymore to the right but that might not be the balance problem. It may need to see more weight to get it to stabilise fore and aft. When the phone is in landscape there is much less leverage to affect the sensors. Perhaps adding some weight to the outside of the clamps would help. Bluetooth mentioned and a good idea too. Is this a MKI or 2 gimbal?
Yes, on our Easter BH holiday to Wales we noticed how “Tourists drive at sensible speeds, while locals don’t” and also that locals drive in the middle of the road at speed towards us tourists and don’t like giving way 😃
I agree with your comments on the looks of the car. Didn't know you live next to the railway. I will have passed your house then! That's before I knew you existed!
Gimble,gimble,gimble,I've heard you use that word a hundred times and this is me just learning what it is. I thought it was an affliction you were cursed with. You know,"the camera's a bit wobbly,my gimble's playing up".
You do right to keep Myrtle. I parted with my 1998 Matiz and miss it a great deal. Brilliant little cars. And yes, the facelift did nothing for the looks!
I don't mind this car at all. Sorry to say it's far better than the Mazda. I was thinking the other day. From your past fleet since I've been a subscriber. What was my favourite. Well I have to say, I adore the Nippa, but taking that out of it. The Rover 400 (45) was one of my favourite. That looked a lovely car and one I could have seen myself owning.
My matiz fix has been addressed, interesting to know some more facts about wind deflection over the wipers, I always wondered about stability too.... Did they do any without power steering?, funnily enough i was going to ask if you'd drove a chevrolet matiz and how they compared. Nippa vs matiz ! thanks ian!
To be honest all Daewoos of this era were not sharp handlers to put it mildly. I had a Nubira, whose steering was ridiculously over-assisted. The whole car felt as if it weighed next to nothing as a result, and there was no feedback at all. Add that to the leaning into bends, poor grip, wooden brake feel and the most obstructive gearbox I've used in any modern car (it always went into gear but it was as clunky as hell, and wasn't helped by the very slow return to idle). It also managed to be both bouncy and crashy at the same time, quite the feat. And this is coming from someone who has also owned a Hyundai Accent, that was superb by comparison... Reliable cars though and not rust-prone.
i watched a "rogue cowboy something or other" TV programme a few years back where a dodgy dealer had sold a woman a rotten Matiz... it was scrapped and a generous local Hyundai dealer agreed to give her a free brand new i10 (via the production company).
We never got the Daewoo Matiz here in the USA but it looks cute and I'm a fan of small cars. Also, how awesome would that be to live right next to a steam locomotive line?!?
Random drive and chat why not I envy your location I take my wife for a leisure drive 99% Of the time we end up in traffic jams wonder why we bother so I enjoy the run when watching your mystery drives in the countryside more to come I hope drive safely enjoy. 🚗
An angled mic jack might help. Then add a little bit of weight to the other side of the phone eg with bluetak to balance it against the weight of the mic connection.
You mentioned potentially looking for car storage, I don't know what your budget is but there's an industrial unit in Cardigan who store my car for £32/month.
I wonder if aright angle adaptor for the microphone would improve matters? It wouldnt fix the weight imbalance but might stop it rubbing on the tilt motor
Love the unscripted rambling and relaxed style Ian :) It's just like you're chatting to a friend and I guess that is what we all love :) Much better than the over produced fake nonsense on tv these days!!! Plus I met you at the HubNut social at the Yew Tree and you're the same guy in real life too :) HubNuts just real. Please keep the crazy gimbal too, it's part of HubNut now!!!
Loved my old Matiz, V reg and tatty as hell.The best laugh I had was at Heathrow. I travel to Ukraine a lot and used to bomb up and down the M3 in it. Because it was an old ratty car it didn't matter if it got damaged in the car park. One time, after returning to the long stay car park in the bus from the terminal, I got off the bus at the same stop as a 'suit', you know the type, considerably better than most,all expensive luggage and new Audi. My old Matiz was parked a few cars down from his Q7, having been there just over a fortnight.While trying to juggle my cases into the back of the Matiz, there was the unmistakeable click click click of flat battery......coming from the Q7....my old Matiz fired right up, and with a cheeky beep beep as we passed the stricken Audi, roared off in 3 cylinder heaven....
Is 15,617 views and counting a record for a man popping to the shops in a Daewoo Matiz? Seriously I love these vlog style videos with your random mouth noises!!! More videos of popping to the shops please Ian :)
Used Lancaster Insurance to insure my Austin 1300. £93.20 fully comprehensive. And took her for a drive today too, made me feel like growing my hair, and growing a beard. Lol thanks Ian for all your brilliant videos 👍
Unscripted rambling is what we like. Got my TWC mug today👍
the best
The reason I love your videos so much is because of the lack of scripting and glamorous editing. It's real everyday life, as I know it. No made up bullshit with false jeopardy and cliffhangers. 'OMG, my Lambo(that I heavily financed dependent on my UA-cam views) just spat it's dummy out,,,,,,,Find out why in the next episode'. It put a light on because the pads are getting low. Etc etc.
You are just you. No bullshit. Take it or leave it.

I enjoy your random chatter. It's like being with an old friend.😊 xx

Life would be incomplete without them!!
That Vitara at the end was fairly.......erm.....unique.......😳
Interesting as always. The Matiz can be a scary but fun car. I had a garage
loaner while my mx5 got sorted. And without thinking took a long corner at my usual speed and got a serious wtf adrenaline buzz.
Lower 30mm springs and that makes a huge difference
Not that Ian would go down that route 😉
Classic HubNut content again......
Dont change a thing Ian......
Love the way you stroked the Matiz along at a good 50-60mph.......probably more legal fun than in a modern 300bhp hot hatchback.

I agree that the original Matiz is a great looking car and massively underrated too. I’ve actually been looking for one as a project for a while but finding one with solid sills is proving surprisingly tricky!
Anyway, excellent “random mouth noise”! More please! 😜👍🏻
Passed my driving test in a Matiz in 2014, it was perfect for the job. The bigger Corsa that belonged to my driving instructor was a bit of a pain from a visibility standpoint. Big a pillars and a swoopy belt line just wasn't going to be helpful, but the Matiz was miles better, so easy to place on the road and so friendly to a new driver.
Small engine too so nice and cheap on insurance as well but I have to say it wouldn’t be my choice for a first car
@@Robert_B_445 My first car was a 2cv, but to pass a test in the Matiz was very easy
This makes me miss my (facelifted) 2001 Matiz. I agree the M100 looked way better, but I found my M150's derpy face oddly endearing.
I also loved the 3 cylinder's throaty tenor, and the sloth face in the steering wheel.
Huge fan of the channel! Keep doing what you're doing :-)
I'll never be able to un-see that now! (sloth face in the steering wheel) lol
I got first matiz from new a T reg, Back in 1999 and went down to Cornwall to see the solar eclipse, Thank you for your video happy days
Love, love, love that 3 cylinder sound. The Matiz seems to be one of those cars that is so close yet just misses out on the cigar. Just a few design tweeks and it could be great. I suppose that's why it qualifies for the fleet. Oh, and keep randomly rambling, it's a skill!

I wish I’d known of your existence when I went to that miniature railway place a couple years back. I too could’ve gone past your house!
You might enjoy using a 90 degree 3.5mm audio jack adapter on the Samsung - it sticks out less - £2.19 inc postage from ebay.
Great weather for Easter. Look forward to a summer of pouring rain and gale force winds. Love the sound of three cylinders. Nice to see Wales in the sun

You're a very witty and articulate bloke with an endless stream of interesting views and ideas. It's a rare talent. Don't go into telly.

Excellent!
I had a W reg Matiz from 2011 to 2014 as my first car at 17 when I passed my test ☺️

You are a lucky man to live in what looks like such a beautiful place👍🏼
I love the 3 cylinder sound. My last car was a Seat Mii Sport. Had a very similar growl which was great fun!
... love your temporary mirror... it is the car’s best feature, without a doubt.
There’s nothing wrong at all with your video style or production. I’m sure I speak for most of your fans that we like the HubNut style 👍🏼😎

Your car switching is contagious. Tomorrow I'll get my new 20 year old car. Of course I ordered a new HubNut sticker!
Hi Ian - The Matiz reminds me of my sons more "modern" VW Fox, which was a pretty nice little 3 cylinder car. Well made and reliable.
I do admire the Eric Morecambe shorts. It's always nice to be out when the weather's warm!
Nice to see the matiz out and about, and glad to report my HubNut stickers turned up today😁👍
Could you add a "discretion advised" warning if you intend filming those knees again? You know it makes sense.
Loop Stations are mint! So is the sound the Matiz makes!
I was just repairing the rear heated screen on the Ford (spit spit), and looked at my tatty external HubNut sticker and thought i'll order a new one. Get on the computer and what's the first thing i see a HubNut vid to watch , life is good. Apart from the rain. Stickers ordered, please deliver them to the post office in TWC.

I love the fact your brave enough to admit the bond with your cars. Its unexpainable some just make you feel that way. I wouldn`t sell any of my 3
I definitely understand why you wouldn’t want to sell Mertal, the off the cuff videos are what UA-cam is all about in my opinion and why I love watching your videos. Cheers.
I've got a 3.0l V6 Vectra Estate - love the sound of that engine!!! Manage to get >44 MPG from that, for a diesel.
Great video. As always. I enjoy the simple videos. The best. And its good to see the older cars In use
The shape of the Matiz reminds me of the needle holder, at the end of a tone arm!
These pre facelift Matizes (?) look really adorable. You definitely should save it, firstly because of the sentimental value and also partly because there won’t be many of these left soon :( Oh, and having a steam train go right past your house is so cool.
I would say that it is a great job to have a second ownership of that lovely little car as it's a no nonsense A to B vehicle. Also just shows the work that you have to put in with gimbals and other fixtures to bring us your videos which you are very good at. Wonder what ever happened to Daewoo as a manufacturer? . 👍 Tam.
Daewoos are now called 'Chevrolets'. Is nothing sacred???
@@jonathangriffin1120 Thank you very much Jonathan 👍 Tam.
Always enjoy rambling unscripted videos, btw the scenery and your area in Wales looks absolutely delightful.
Try a 90 degree mike plug instead of the straight one you have. It will give you more clearence to move your phone nearer the centre. It might help. Good vids Ian.
Always nice to see the little Matiz! Also an L-Shape 3.5mm jack extension might help out a huge amount with the gimbal and it should be rather cheap to get as well. :D
You can also get mikes that have right angle plugs. At the moment you can't move the phone anymore to the right but that might not be the balance problem. It may need to see more weight to get it to stabilise fore and aft. When the phone is in landscape there is much less leverage to affect the sensors. Perhaps adding some weight to the outside of the clamps would help. Bluetooth mentioned and a good idea too. Is this a MKI or 2 gimbal?
Love the informative rambling, and nice to see the car again, and also hear that your not going to sell it. Maybe some upgrades? :)
very nice simple and enjoyable
ps I hope George appreciates how far you have to go to get him his snacks
On your gimbal try a flat right angle jack extension it will let your phone slide in more and balance better
Yes, on our Easter BH holiday to Wales we noticed how “Tourists drive at sensible speeds, while locals don’t” and also that locals drive in the middle of the road at speed towards us tourists and don’t like giving way 😃
I agree with your comments on the looks of the car. Didn't know you live next to the railway. I will have passed your house then! That's before I knew you existed!
Do it the way you want to do it Ian, that's why we watch your vlogs.
Nobbly knees champion 2019 👍
Good afternoon Ian. Great, a new Hub Nut video!
Gimble,gimble,gimble,I've heard you use that word a hundred times and this is me just learning what it is. I thought it was an affliction you were cursed with. You know,"the camera's a bit wobbly,my gimble's playing up".
You do right to keep Myrtle. I parted with my 1998 Matiz and miss it a great deal. Brilliant little cars. And yes, the facelift did nothing for the looks!
Great little car, looks fun to thrash through those bends. 👍
Not too bad a video ian.
Worth watching for the equipment you use alone.
I thought you could visit classic car dealerships in your future video's.
I don't mind this car at all. Sorry to say it's far better than the Mazda. I was thinking the other day. From your past fleet since I've been a subscriber. What was my favourite. Well I have to say, I adore the Nippa, but taking that out of it. The Rover 400 (45) was one of my favourite. That looked a lovely car and one I could have seen myself owning.
My matiz fix has been addressed, interesting to know some more facts about wind deflection over the wipers, I always wondered about stability too.... Did they do any without power steering?, funnily enough i was going to ask if you'd drove a chevrolet matiz and how they compared. Nippa vs matiz ! thanks ian!
All UK Matizes had PAS. I've driven one in Malta without. Much nicer.
Apparently it has Jatco JF405E - 4-speed ultra-light compact (formerly JF402E)
Use an angled 3.5mm audio jack to bring the phone further to the right
Enjoyed the trip. What did you get at the shop? Trains in Wales are a little behind the times! 😉
Boring stuff!
To be honest all Daewoos of this era were not sharp handlers to put it mildly. I had a Nubira, whose steering was ridiculously over-assisted. The whole car felt as if it weighed next to nothing as a result, and there was no feedback at all. Add that to the leaning into bends, poor grip, wooden brake feel and the most obstructive gearbox I've used in any modern car (it always went into gear but it was as clunky as hell, and wasn't helped by the very slow return to idle).
It also managed to be both bouncy and crashy at the same time, quite the feat.
And this is coming from someone who has also owned a Hyundai Accent, that was superb by comparison...
Reliable cars though and not rust-prone.
i watched a "rogue cowboy something or other" TV programme a few years back where a dodgy dealer had sold a woman a rotten Matiz... it was scrapped and a generous local Hyundai dealer agreed to give her a free brand new i10 (via the production company).
I'm thinking about doing my driving this year I wonder if a matiz is big enough to carry gardening tools around ? 🤔
They're not overly blessed for space. I recommend a Perodua Kenari instead.
We never got the Daewoo Matiz here in the USA but it looks cute and I'm a fan of small cars. Also, how awesome would that be to live right next to a steam locomotive line?!?
Random drive and chat why not I envy your location I take my wife for a leisure drive 99% Of the time we end up in traffic jams wonder why we bother so I enjoy the run when watching your mystery drives in the countryside more to come I hope drive safely enjoy. 🚗
An angled mic jack might help. Then add a little bit of weight to the other side of the phone eg with bluetak to balance it against the weight of the mic connection.
You mentioned potentially looking for car storage, I don't know what your budget is but there's an industrial unit in Cardigan who store my car for £32/month.
Thanks. Think I've found a solution. Just wanting to check it...
I wonder if aright angle adaptor for the microphone would improve matters? It wouldnt fix the weight imbalance but might stop it rubbing on the tilt motor
Love the unscripted rambling and relaxed style Ian :) It's just like you're chatting to a friend and I guess that is what we all love :) Much better than the over produced fake nonsense on tv these days!!! Plus I met you at the HubNut social at the Yew Tree and you're the same guy in real life too :) HubNuts just real. Please keep the crazy gimbal too, it's part of HubNut now!!!
14k views already for a man driving a daewoo matiz. Excellent work!
Is the mic cable impeding the gimbal?? Try putting the phone the other way up with the mic cable coming out the left side...
