London Docklands
We’ve been working on a pilot for an internet T.V. show over the past few weeks, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (Hybrid), supplied by Humphris of Oxford, has been invaluable over that time. It’s refined drive and comfort allows us to arrive after a two hour drive both too and through the City of London after a very early wake up call feeling refreshed (thank you Mitsubishi for the extra large coffee cup holders). This weekend it transported three crew, three cameras, two tripods, a set of lights and our Rhino Evo Slider with out compromising on our cabin space. It even had enough space to allow our Camera Assistant to have a comfortable snooze on the way home.
It’s often the little things that make a difference with a car, and for us when carrying gear (fortunately not in the rain this time) there is no fumbling for the keys, as long as you have one in your pocket a quick tap on one of three buttons and hey presto, you’re in. The boot even opens for you meaning less balancing around with kit. A quick tap on home on the Sat Nav and we are guided back through London with no problems (other then the capital’s traffic), and whilst the others doze after a hard days work I get to listen to the football on 5 live courtesy of the excellent DAB radio, though if they had their way I think the other occupants would have liked to plug one of their phones into the audio aux input (though I still have control from the steering wheel). Oxford to the docklands on a frugal £20 makes our tight budget go just that little bit further, whilst being a hybrid means we’re taking better care of our environment too.
And to top it off it was a beautiful day in an amazing setting!
