There’s no time to explain, get in the pea
@lolennui
I'm trying not to be driven by consumerism.
But, I want one!
I don't even care if it works.
@lolennui I’m in. Let’s roll!
@lolennui "Come with me if you want to go round!"
@lolennui Funny thing is, I wouldn't even hesitate...
@lolennui if I get into that, we’re going to a Richard Scarry town aren’t we?
@waynedixon @lolennui That's what I was thinking, too :')
@lolennui not a car person but that car is as cute as it is unsafe
@lolennui
What’s the mileage on that thing, anyway??
@lolennui quick we need to pick up Lowly Worm STAT

Thanks!/

@fracturedopal @lolennui thanks for the reminder.. so simple and so important
@fracturedopal @lolennui +1 for that! Though I don't need alt text for most purposes, having it doesn't hurt, and sometimes also helps when you don't know a person or place depicted :)
@lolennui @simonegiertz A nice partner for Cheese Louise.
@lolennui That was a Mini Cooper before someone inside it farted...

@lolennui

That's the backup ride of Mr. Bean's archenemy.

@lolennui
Not as good as this at the Beaulieu Motor Museum
@TinBee @lolennui I think you wanted this @ohthatsean
@Sadtomato @TinBee @lolennui that is everything I ever wanted
@ohthatsean @TinBee @lolennui same. The entire comment section was absolute joy!
@TinBee @lolennui
It has a tax disc!!!!
@KateyRutter
I think it is a fully road legal vehicle. I remember seeing it when i went as a child. I probably have my own photo (a real pre-digital one) of it somewhere.

@TinBee @lolennui

I saw one of these as a tiny baby in a pram. I'm sure. It wasn't till I saw a family pucture did I understand what I had seen.

@lolennui I hope you didn’t get in. I just ate that at dinner.
@lolennui This photo and that line are my elevator pitch. Now just need to add a few more details for the movie.
@lolennui I'm glad you spelled that right
@lolennui the pea is the fastest known land vegetable and narrowly trails the potato for the vegetable land speed record.
@lolennui I don’t know what that is but I need it
@owlislost @lolennui The pea car was built for a 2005 TV commercial.

@owlislost @lolennui Heh. The articles I've read all say it's not for sale.

@lolennui @Mrfunkedude Where we’re going we don’t need pods.
@lolennui looks like a German auto body student project - I drove something like that up a mountain to my brother's third wedding in Germany, 20 years ago.
@LeslieVS1965 @lolennui
The Royal College of Art 'car design course', back in the 80s was called disparagingly by the other students as the 'banana colouring-in course'
