    Finally had the opportunity to film a "roadtrip" timelapse with my Spacestar. Driving from Mavrovo to Skopje, filmed it to show you the roads and cars that we drive down here.



    Sorry that it's so fast, the timelapse interval is 0.5s and that was the lowest option. Was averaging 2.9l/100km on the downhill, when I arrived in Skopje it was around 4.2l/100km, with moderate usage of the A/C. Hope you like it!

    EDIT: At around the 40 second mark you can see that a 71 hp car is enough to pass a concrete mixer on mountain roads, while driving in 3rd (~2500rpm), without downshifting. If I had wider tires and some weight on the back end, it would be much more fun to drive down these roads as well!
    *Averaging speed from 60kmh, to 140kmh. (35mph - 85mph).

    You’ll have to tell us about the area. It looks scenic from here anyway.

    Nice video. The land seems hilly / mountainous. Yet the road seems to be very flat in the video, no upsie-downsie.

    Oh, it's excellent. It's a national park here and the roads are spectacular. There is the Mavrovo Lake which is an artificial lake made in the 50s. The old village was situated where the lake is now and the church is still standing to this day. Nowadays, the lake isn't that full - so you can enter the church. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Nic...hurch,_Mavrovo)

    It's a great all-year place, skiing in the winter, exploring in the summer.

    We loaded up for the beach. 2, 12 foot surf rods, 10' paddle board, surf fishing cart and tons of other gear. I can't believe we got it all in!

    289929km replaced lower engine mount and added front upper strut washer plate things from a 2017 mirage. Pumped tires up to 50psi. They were all between 30 and 40psi.
    Here’s the early production 2014 (bottom) vs a 2015 or 17? Attachment 22205Attachment 22206 I don’t hear that clunk anymore. Will know if that fixed it in a day or two.
    Here’s the tiny rust spot on the left rear fender Attachment 22207
    And the first place everyone thought these would rust out in front of the rear tire Attachment 22208
