We’re Ladi (from Czechia) & Margaret (from USA) and we’re a location independent couple of 5 years (aka, van life super-fans), currently spending 2020/2021 in eastern Czech Republic due to the pandemic. This channel is centered around our favorite things: eBikes, campervans, and cats (mostly Millie, lol) Our world has definitely changed a lot since Covid-19 impacted our fulltime travel plans, but we hope to soon be back on the road with our awesome eBikes and little Millie Kua Maha, who is quite the traveler herself, and probably the most popular one in our little trio. Thank you for supporting us and being part of this community!

The garage is finding a better use more quickly than we expected!! We're hoping this car will bring us on a few smaller trips and experiences this summer while the van is underway! Did you ever notice that the mask on our van, this new car, and our logo are the same pattern? We love that honeycomb ;) Have a great day and enjoy this new, warm weather!

[@marunma]

How about to put facelift front lights and fender ?

[@ladiandmargaret]

Too much effort, van is waiting :)

[@marunma]

Fair enough

[@theodorec5775]

Love the way the car looks, although as a guy who drives a Fiat 500 I laughed every time you called the A5 tiny!!!

[@Moranah]

"It's such a tiny car." You Americans. You don't know tiny until you drove my Opel Agila with a small 1.2-liter engine from the Netherlands through the Alps to France. Or even worse, friends of mine who did a whole road trip from the Netherlands to and through Poland in an old beaten-up Mini. An Audi, literally ANY Audi, is NOT a tiny car, and I will die fighting on this hill. 😂

[@ioney_at]

Audi a1 is not small?

[@Moranah]

@@ioney_at No. (psssht, dude, why are you coming at me like this? I'm just trying to make a point towards "the Americans" that you don't need to fit 20 suitcases, 4 bikes and the entire population of Moldova in the backseat for a car to be qualified as "regular size" 😂. That being said, personally I'd say an A1 is medium sized.)

@@ioney_at I would say the A1 is a small car, not tiny. But for an American it will surely be tiny; they label the Q7 as a medium size SUV 😂

[@ruthanderson1758]

Sorry but I have to be the "odd man out" on this - I don't like the look of the car all blacked out. Just my taste, and it doesn't take away from the incredible job Ladi did to make it what you both want. Ladi's creativity and talent never cease to amaze me.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Thank you, it’s personalized to our liking 🙃

[@sofnaji]

Same it looks like something a teenager would do. I just got mine specked the way I like it from the factory. Same price but looks more refined.

[@thomasperez365]

I love how Ladi unbrands things, to have the object in its purity, it's enough just in itself. Great sense of esthetics !

[@keriezy]

I love it. I can respect the ascetics of an object and be completely turned off by the logos.

[@keriezy]

I've got great grandparents that came from Chechia WAAY back in 1910s.... I can legitimately feel the family connection watching Ladi work. My dad is no where as talented as him, but just as creative with design and use of any and all materials.

[@Larissa-tr3wq]

I feel like calling that car "tiny" shows that Margaret is American more than disliking manual cars xD

[@ladiandmargaret]

hehe some small part of me is always like "now that automatics exist why are we globally still making manuals?" It was later in my life that I understood they are what almost everyone except the usa drives lol

[@Larissa-tr3wq]

@@ladiandmargaret It's weird how these things depend on where you grow up.. like how as a child it was completely normal to me to put sprinkles on a slice of bread and when I got older I realised the rest of the world doesn't do that haha. I always think it's fun to discover my own weirdnesses (is that a word?) though, it challenges my perspective and makes me want to explore different cultures/places :)

[@roddydykes7053]

@@ladiandmargaret even as a Canadian I preferred manual by a large degree, until I broke my left knee cap. Now I sadly have delegated myself to this exact A5 S-line with the 8-speed auto

[@managainsthouse]

Loved the cat ladder to her blanket spot. Once you have the flat above the garage you’ll have to install one on the outside too, to let Millie in and out through a window. And holy heck, that’s some grandmother!

[@annabennett1819]

It’s the Czech Matrix!

[@vanDeudekom]

Nice job Ladi & Margaret you make it your onw Car. It looks good but,....I don't know if you will make trips to the Netherlands and I think Germany to, but keep in mind that if the Policeman has a "not so nice day" he can and will give you a ticket for tinting your Driver and passenger window, to dark (what I can see on my Laptop), and the 2e ticket for changing your reflector - capacity of reflection - of you'r backlight. It is all a safety item and by law (Netherlands) you ar not allowed to change that. Expensif ticket (safety) and not allowed to drive before you (have) take it off. And - in a bad situation - the insurance comp can make problems to becorse that safety item has no longer a aproved EU qualification. Take care you two, I love your videos , O yes and your electric bikes, they ar super.

[@stanislavfilip7925]

In Czechia, you aren´t allowed to tint anything, unless you give it to professionals and have certificate, but everyone doesnt care because its pretty expensive.

[@judischarns4509]

I drove a stick for many years and loved it. Better control in snow and rain. But they're not making many any more and for the past few years it's been an automatic. I can live with either, but I need wheels to go when I want, where I want. I wanted to learn how to drive a stick when I was young so I would never be stranded because I didn't know how to drive one. I've missed you guys, thanks for bringing us back into your lives. I think where you live is so beautiful. I love the small village feel.

[@MrNeutross]

This cheered me up. I needed that, thank you!

[@melinafioravante8136]

I personally hate to drive behind a car with darken rear lights, especially at night, but apart of that looks good, guys! Another well done project 👏👏👏

[@TessGlimmerveen]

Yes! Another video! Great for my lunch break 😊

[@Ruthie888]

Very pretty countryside. My daughter lived in Slovakia for about a year and a half and loved the area. We visited and thought it was gorgeous.

[@CreekRanger]

I love the design vision combined with practical skills to bring them to life. Like most Uber talented people you run the risk of developing Barracuda mouth and hummingbird tail. Don’t bite off more than you can chew or you will have terminal constipation with too many projects competing for your time. Focus!

[@mayanktyagi5104]

Great Video! Love the car! I love the blacked out look. I am working on a black car right now and started thinking... What would it look like all blacked out also... Might just have to see... :-). Great job!

[@nicolawilks9643]

Hi really enjoyed the video and its inspired me to do something similar to my car. Could you please advise of the spray product that you used on the wheels. Many thanks

[@jeskli11]

Make sure to enable in diagnostics lights on right after start, even on the "off" position on the switch. Every time I drive (or ride a bike) from my home I have to turn onto main street where cars are parked on side of the street and you can properly see if anything's coming only in a mirror. And in a mirror a stealth car with lights off (it's illegal, but happens) or even the "invisible" day lights is nearly unrecognizable from the standing ones. Standard lights even in day time especially on such black stealth cars help other drivers more than you realize.

[@3DPrismaPrint]

Yheaa.. Another video 👍🏼 ❤ ❤ ❤

[@anjaporter]

Stellar Kua content!

[@LilyWasHereMB]

Thumbs up because I like your channel and the things you're doing, even if I didn't appreciate this post as much

[@prophecyking3448]

Not sure if you guys done it yet (or still have the car), but a massive improvement to your A5 would be a ceramic coating. Dirt and dust is super visible on a jet black car, and considering your shots at 19:10 - your car got nasty filthy just by leaving the place you were living at

[@GeneSizemorePhotography]

Are you guys in Germany?? I lived in Heidelberg for 10 years! You guys are making me homesick!

[@mezanian]

Gangsta car Ladi ! And rocking a Byron Bay Tshirt too. Two things you'd be mistaken for here in OZ, an Undercover Detective or a fugitive....

[@JcJustinify]

Maybe u can have your chrome Audi logo back on the back and front. But u need a 3D black base at the back to push just the Circles out it will be class~✌️

[@joaopedromeireles2682]

You usually do awesome things, but this time I not a fan of that car change. It's very well done, but that car is beautiful right from the fabric.I think there is no need to remove the chromes and logos or paint the rims. But... that's just a matter of taste. About the cabin filter... you should have kept it away from your breath chanels. It releases very very small particles of dust that you don't need to have inside your lungs. Keep your cools buildings, go ahead!

The car looks amazing, only issue will be the wheels...seen so many like look bad because they chip. Only way is to powder coat them

[@ladiandmargaret]

I’m ok pressure water them off if needed, I would not waste my time on taking the wheels off and doing it properly.

[@willemscholtes]

Next month we will be heading up to the Tsjech republic with 10 people, 2 baby's, 2 dogs, 4 campervans, two cars and two tents to finally start exploring again after a long time. We travel from the Netherlands across Germany to Tsjech republic. We would like to stay a bit away from the crowds and overnight as much as possible in the wild nature. My question to all the German and Tsjech viewers, do you guys have any tips for must sees, perfect spots or places to stay for a night?

Why didn't you remove the wheels for painting? Guaranteed that there is overspray on the car. You will need to do some polishing with compound to remove it. The car looks really sharp!

[@MiikaelK]

Agree 100%, painting the wheels while they're still on the car is asking for trouble.

[@ladiandmargaret]

Taking the wheels off would not be worth the time. There is no off spray, don’t worry :)

[@jonathan5354]

I like it a lot except for the tinted tail lights.

[@kimslotte]

Great teamwork as always guys. I’m with ya on keeping busy with projects, it’s therapeutic to always be tinkering on something. I’m almost always modding and upgrading something on my ebike the #HellbirdBanditBike. This weeks project was redoing the wiring to a new step down converter for all the accessories plugged into it. Stepped it up to 14g wires and used xt60’s.
