Ode to The Aygo

I am getting a new car. After 5 glorious years, it is time to say goodbye to the most resilient machine I have ever known. I decided to make this video as a cinematic send off and to explore this type of cinematography, but it became something more. It made me reminisce of the adventures; the close calls and the hell I have put this little car through. So much has changed in the last 5 years and in so many memories, love and loss, this small but fierce motor has been a crutch and a catalyst through all of it.

So many times, I have been told to upgrade my car to something new, with Bluetooth and working air conditioning but something has stopped me every time: there is nothing like the feeling of pushing this simple machine to its absolute limits and knowing that it will give everything in return.

So, this is an ode to my Aygo, known by many names: Eddie, The Bean, The Black Beast.

But I called it mine, and you never forget your first…
