Socially awkward penguin, rollin' hard in the land of fediverse chicks and reply guys.
@msbellows @cobalt123 well this is just fun as can be, I'm blocked out of it and everyone is going on about how great it is. I'm out.

#QuestionOfTheDay for a fighting tournament of all fictional characters, which 2 fictional characters would you want as your TV commentary team? Pick one for play-by-play and one for colour commentary/analysis.

@ami_angelwings play by play, the micromachines guy, and color commentary, Don Kanonji
@msbellows @cobalt123 that one is blocked also, at least for me. Subscription banner blocks and locks page. Bummer
All buses should have a deep bucket of water next to the driver's cab. Passengers should be empowered to drop the phones of users playing music or taking calls without headphones into the bucket.
Odin's grandhumans are in town today and brought him a squeaky rubber chicken. Fortunately for our sanity, he seems to consider squeaking a toy to be a failure state to be avoided, so he holds them gently. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

The huge carpenter bees in the garden (genus Xylocopa) continue to fascinate me, & this is one of my favourite pictures to date 🙂👍

It shows the subtle dichotomy of the gorgeous wing colouring – a bright metallic violet-blue in reflection & a deep crimson in transmission ❤️

The light dusting of yellow pollen offsets the otherwise dark head & body nicely 🙇‍♂️

A flock of Mokes arrived, I was busily sending photos to my friend with a Moke saying WHERE THE HELL ARE YA

Soo those Bowells! Ok so Bolwell was a kit car made here in Melbourne

And this bulbous one is one that almost never existed.

Just extraordinary to be able to see something so rare and unusual. Not that there's many of the other models left around. All fibreglass, they are an interesting part of Australian motoring history that many not know exists.

Old and new, they kept on coming in. Curiously, the only Lotus that turned up.

And then this appeared. This is a new Bolwell! The co started back up in the mid noughties.

I've never seen one other than reading about it. My eyes just about popped out of my head.

Toyota powered. The owner said it was brand new and didn't know much about it. So Bolwell came up with this design almost 20 years ago and are still hand making cars. Mind boggling, considering how difficult it is to meet ADRs here too.

This yellow Bolwell is the one of 12 that shouldn't actually exist. Talk about rare.

@vwdasher

Lovely Buick.

The Commodore is a very rare slug.

The Orange Torana has me very worried

And the yellow SL/R is gorgeous.

@vwdasher The Lotus is not real - it clearly says "CGI" on the license plate.
