Shmee150 embarks on a journey to Yorkshire Car Restoration to check on the progress of his Porsche 914, a car that has seen its fair share of troubles. The team at Yorkshire Car Restoration has been hard at work fixing the extensive rust issues and bad repairs that plagued the Porsche. Shmee introduces a new limited-edition collectible, Schella the cow, a companion to the iconic Shmoo. The excitement is palpable as Shmee reveals the new number plate for the 914, "JIG 914 2 L," adding a touch of personality to the classic car.
The BYD Seal electric car, a controversial figure on Shmee's channel, faces scrutiny for its claimed 350 Mi range. Shmee takes the BYD Seal on a test drive, hypermiling to put its range claims to the test. Despite efforts to maximize efficiency, the cold weather proves challenging, causing the car to fall short of the claimed range at around 250 Mi. The BYD Seal's range issues highlight the practical challenges of electric cars in less-than-ideal conditions.
At Yorkshire Car Restoration, the team showcases the meticulous work done on the Porsche 914, including using a custom-built rotisserie to address rust and bodywork. The car's underside, once plagued by rust, now gleams in pristine condition, a testament to the team's dedication. Shmee expresses his enthusiasm for the progress made on the Porsche 914, eagerly anticipating the upcoming painting process that will breathe new life into the classic car.
